Reds got a 1/4 dance with Mikes Evo on the 5th. Should be fun, lookin for others to join us! :bigthumb:

Track opens at 1pm.

Might have to ride out to see this!

Might have to come check this out. My son says Mikes Evo is pretty bad ass.

I will be there trying to bust somebody in the head!

Gosh dammit! Leaving for my cruise on the 4th! Would love to come watch y'all as well as see what my led sled can so in the 1/4...

sounds interesting

be in TX on the 5th.

If I can take off work I am going to both yall asses....lol

ohhh.. on a sunday :)

Wanna run me?

Yall guys travel 2 hours to watch racing but dont go to local tracks? Geez

Nobody cares about 1/8th mile dontcha know

Yeah. The second half of a 1/4 mile is to see who has the smoothest cruise control

I think the Evo will like the second 8th more then the view it has the first. We will see though, maybe red will be behind the whole time, big hp car and couple pounds lighter.

Anyone willing to wager? I am going with the truck. 1)I bet Rob drills his ass at the gate and the EVO will be sucking up track but run out of real estate.....and Trucks are coool

Rob is probably right, Evo is a good bit lighter, and I hear it make around 900hp, but god help if he misses a gear..

EVOs we're not meant to have 900 hp. Good chance it will break.

any stats on evo? is it the silver evo that was at draging rights?

Its the gray evo with a rudolph nose and antlers lol

Turtle Soup

Gonna be good race either way.If it's on the track, unless mike packs some tires he is gonna have a hard time leaving with Rob.

Truck has it all day, the manual trans is just going to kill the evo.

just for reference... this is another street car making about the same power...

I will be there. I plan to tow mikes car up in case it breaks.

Also had Hoosiers all the way around. LSPowaFTW

Sand, Matt has had more to do with drag racing in the past few weeks than he has all year!

No running racecar no care about racetrack.

If I could make it I would! I even ran robs truck 1 time :mrgreen:

What was the point of that? lol Was HE aware of this?? :razz:

Lol. This is true! I finally have time to do the things I like again.

Lmao. You don't get out much.

Here is the evo link vs the 1000rr race:

i think the evo will trap about ~145-150 mph in its current condition. He ran my buds 1000rr (230lb rider who has never drag raced or raced a car). My friend started in 2nd at low rpms. So at the strip Mike will probably do some weight reduction(no passenger), but I don't think it will hook like big red as others have mentioned.

I get out more than you. I have seen the track more than once a year. I didn't say they aren't any out there. Obviously there is.

I can guarantee that you know far, far less about Evos than I do. When they're built and tuned right they're just as reliable and consistent as any other car at those power levels.

He asked for it for :barf: & :hysterical:

Motor maybe, but drivetrain is sketchy. Mike told my son that me didn't want to run it too much in the street for fear of breaking it, just saying..

Rob use to be a Mitsubishi racer back in the day, so I am sure he knows their weaknesses, but 900hp is quite impressive out of 2.0 litres of motor, should be a good one.

Not everyone is geared for that or car is suited for that. I prefer that 1/4 mile. Its all I grew up around. Back before people started getting scared about running 330 mph +

I might try to make it. Wont have my car (still waiting on new control arms)

Oh I'm sure, I was just commenting on Harry's blanket statement.

I am sorry that I have to explain everything to you! I did not say what was the weak link is in those cars. Seeing as how you are such a guru with them and an expert , I would have thought you would have gotten it.
