Finally something from C&D

Day 1

Day 2

 

alot of this will depend on which track config. they run Shiv/Paul will have a better shot if they run w/carousel than if they run the Nascar Shoot which as you probably guessed is better for high hp cars. Good luck and stay out of the Turn 10 Club

 

Paul scored 4th at PPIR event 1 and 3rd at PPIR event 2... Very nice!

 

bump. best of luck.

Looks like the fellas are having a blast!

 

And, don't forget to vote in the sidebar poll about the best all around turbocharged car (choices are r32, sti, evo)...

 

Looks like we came in 4th overall again today at Sears which if it stands is a great result. Our lack of tire and downforce really worked against us at Sears. Paul drove the wheels off the car again and it looks like some Vishnu customers were on hand to see and video tape the session.

 

VW R32? LMAO! Best chance of getting outrun by a Nissan Altima, maybe.

 

Look what C&D had to say about the Vishnu team. Just click on the multimedia photo section and hit next until you see our favorite racer boys

Would you let this man drive your car? Basking in borrowed glory, Paul Gerrard (right) has run an impressive come-from-behind campaign in the last three days, from a dismal 71st-place score on the wet skidpad at Tire Rack to tenth overall as of today. The power behind the glory, a modified Mitsubishi Evolution, is borrowed from his co-driver, A.K.A. “Mr. Vishnu Tuning.”

I got some pictures from today... Hopefully these are ok to post!

I've got some video of the run too, but I haven't seen it yet. I'll see if I can't get some good shorts up tomorrow night.

I video taped most of the first two groups but like an idiot I had the camcorder on low light mode. By the time I figured out why it looked so dark Vishnu's 5 laps were over. So it is not exactly that clear but it’s definitely worth watching. I'll try to post it in the next couple of days.

 

The pics look like no rear underbody aero panel, what happened with that?

 

Post the vid!!! Hope you got the 3rd lap where Paul was drifting through turn 11!!!

Thanks to all that came out and supported, it means a lot to Shiv, Paul and the whole Evo community to have fan support

 

Here is a picture I snapped before I figured out the camcorder.

 

hi.. its me shiv..logging in from the road. we had a few close calls today..but not on the track. with so much transit driving between tracks and no reasonable sleep, we are struggling to stay awake at night. we are on our way to vegas now and we don't expect to get in until 6am which gives us less than 2 hrs of sleep. again dammit.

today at sears pt went as well as can be expected. power-wise, I dialed back the boost far enough to achieve the 4th place overall. Dailing it up would have made the car quicker but not enough to pull of a 3rd place. thereT0
