Las Vegas Evo's

Try to race when it gets cool out, it sucks sitting in the car when its 110 out waiting to race.
How would you know? You're not old enough to drag.
The fifteens came from sorry *** drivers, which includes me. I need practice. The altitude here at the track is estimated at 2000 feet above sea level. The track is prepped real good. Got to sit there and watch them in the process. They spray a decent amount of VHT down. Half way through the night they spray down the track with VHT again. But I haven't been in months so I don't know if they still do this or not. I think the altitude adds another .3-.4 tenths to your time. Here are the correction factors

It might be a little different for forced induction compared to NA.

It sounds like the EVO you saw yesterday was me. It does have/had temp tags, but not from courtesy. I was in that area about that time heading up to Indian Springs. My car is an 03 and doesnt have leather inside. I am going to be at IN & OUT tonight. I am looking forward to meeting the other Evo owners around here.

Wasn't you then....this one had the temp tag taped to the top left corner of the back window.....and I KNOW it had leather interior. What caught my eye was the headrests in the back. They stood taller than the ones in my backseat and they were leather, not cloth.
My Evo may be the most modded one here? Not sure. I ran a 13.1 back in WI. I did not have all that I have done now to my Evo. I am also not the best driver. It was a really good launch. If I hit the launch just right the rest is not a problem. I hope to run at least a high 12 here. I know it is a lot harder to get a good time here than what I am used to. I will have to wait and see. I can't wait until the weather cools down a lot. Does anyone know if the track stays open year around?
