cool pics


that EVO got F'D up...Did you see that happen?

 

save the best for last..lol

 

no i didnt get to see it.. heard he lost control and slammed into another evo which had lost control ahead of him.. The driver n passenger were sent to the hospital.

 

Evo X went off track and was waiting to get back on.
The older Evo lost control on the same turn and went sideways
into the rear passenger corner of the Evo X.

Driver and passenger were both taken to the hospital by ambulance.
Driver has 3-4 cracked ribs apart from some bruising and concussion.
Passenger I believe was just bruising and typical things when accidents happen.

There were suppose to be no ride a long(passengers) and we got chewed out plenty from the track coordinator for that incident.

Thanks for posting the pics Hector.
It was cool of you to come through.
Next time though put your car on the track

Street RWD
Corvette took 1st place.
M3 took 2nd place.
I took 3rd place.

I performed my practice laps on the second day of the event
but was unable to perform the timed event of that day.
My times from the previous day still held and I walked away with third place.

Next time I will come better prepared.
Track brake pads
Racing Seats (I practically in the passenger seat during some turns)
Better tires(I was limited to 140 thread wear or higher so I was unable
to use my racing slicks or R-compound tires)

REALLY COOL STORY ABOUT THE TAKATA STI:

the design for that car was actually created in-game on Forza Motorsport 2 on XBOX 360. The owner of the car held an online contest via the forum on the Forza developers website (www.forzamotorsport.net) and XBOX Live in which painters in the Forza 2 community submitted designs featuring the owner's newly acquired Takata sponsorship. One of the oldest and most respected community members won the design contest, and the design was mimiced in real life on the car you see above, from the body kit to the wheels and the paint/vinyl

really cool thread detailing the build of that car. Its been ripping up TA competitions across the country since the new car debuted in Nashville this summer
