Hey Dre, tell Leslie I say congratulations for second position on the chick class:

My name was no were. I think you have to participate on all categories in order to be official, obviously I missed some of the brackets...
I seen a lot of people from Sierra Vista that always show up to SIR and I had a few friends from Tucson compiting and actually won third place

and I also learned how to get a 12 second run - it was a great crash course in drag racing! Can't wait for next year!!!Great to meet everyone - now I can put a face with a post!!
What is up Leslie?, I am proud of you, you really represent AZ evo girls. You did fantastic..
Next time I am having Socorro racing as well. It was nice talking to you and your husband at the track. I was going to drive there today but it was raining.
The girl with the WRX is a good friend of mine, she play 3rd, her name is Rene and I love that she does ALL the engine work by herself. She just sold her Civic and got the black WRX. Rene is a girl that ALWAYS races at SIR(Tucson)

Dre, what I am really really surprised is that no of the big shops from Phoenix compited. I thought that Kingpin was going to be there, Dynocomp, Mynes ,forcedperformance etc.
The reason why I registered on the B14 brackets is because I sincerily had in mind that the big shops were going to bring the big dog(turbokit Evos and turbokit STI),and I had no intentions to be ridiculed by "big dog Evos".
At the end of the day, there were not many EVO/STI racing at all, not a single STI on the 12's, just a WRX with a Legacy block,turbo kit and all the good stuff doing 12.2.
Why did Mynes did not compite? how about all the AZ evo guys? Gaijin you were there bro, you have a 500hp+ beast, what is up?, 12monkys, same goes for you, you have a 11 sec car, why you guys did not compite?, I mean you guys have the hardcore Evos in AZ.
Antonio, what is up with you bro, you were there also.. Housedj you were also there.
What about you Karma?, I saw your car there as well, I know you can race..
I am just saying, I drove to Phoenix to compite but I haven't seen many of you guys compiting

Not to get mushy on ya but this post broke my heart... Just cause of knowing carlos I can hear the dissapointment in the post.. Well carlos.. I cant speak for everybody but I can speak for myself and try and give some input on some of the others.... Gaijiin just got his car together and with all that cash he just dropped IM 300 percent sure he is braking her in nice n easy. 12 mnkys.. hmmmmmm.. Well if I were him it would be because the car needs more tuning.. but I'm not suer why he didnt run for sure... And me.. Come on man I'm a 12.8 no frills, stock Evo.. I didnt go to NOPI to watch slow cars like mine go down the track.. Dont get me wrong I love my 9 but NOPI is for the big boys... As far as the shops are concerned.. I completley agree with you.

I am very very shocked that NONE, absolutely NONE of the fastet shops around Pheonix showed up at all. For good sakes, Ryan Woon even bring his 8 Sec Supra to Tucson once a month, I am wondering why he did not bring it to Firebird..
I am assuming that maybe they had a sales strategy or some kind of advertizing instead of racing. I talked to the Viviracing guys, they had a tent. Their Pepsi RX8 turbo was a show and no go, I mean , it was just there to be photoed by bystanders.
Dre, we need to get together more often dude. There are a lot of very powerful Evos in AZ, we need to get them to race more often.
I want to take the Evo 9 there soon, maybe next week after I get my cat delete and LICP.

I dragged some people from Tucson, in fact the 3 guys that I contacted they did not have their cars ready at all
Ray was doing his clutch
Abner did not have his car
PJ car was impounded
I want to make clear I was not trying to critizise, I am just saying I really wished more participation.. LOL look at me, I stay in the lanes for about 4-5 hours attempting my 11 sec record that I never got.
But anyway, yes, indeed let me know when and were and I will be there supporting you guys whenever you guys are racing at the track.

I didn't meet all the girls in the Nopi Chick class but all that I did meet were really cool chicks! Was fun talking with them and sharing stories
That's awesome she does her own work on the WRX! Rene - You go girl!!!
