I don't know if you guys remember me commenting about the EVO X that passed me at Buttonwillow a while back, but that is the car.

I think you said something like, "I've only been passed by an Evo once . . . it came on a trailer."

I do remember. Did you ever talk to the guy? Is he cool?

Yeah I did talk to him afterwards with the rest of the HPDE group. He was cool.

Yes, he was in the Castrol challenge. The car is sweet. Last year he was the NASA TT-A National Champion.

I was at MOD with my POS 02 Eclipse. I actually won a set of 5Zigen lug nuts (which are super light and $150), a free K&N oil filter (I use them on the Goat anyways), and some other crap. They kinda sucked this year though, they were way better 2 years ago.

Do you mean the show sucked or that the give away stuff sucked? I actually thought the show was really good - just really hot :o

The raffle sucked for one, unless you have an Evo, even the chances of winning something is pretty slim. And the first year I went, Mitsubishi gave a ton of stuff away. They didnt unveil anything this year. Last year was the RA-1, year before was the Concept Evo. You could definetely see they got less funding this year.

Bummer. This was my 1st year going so I didn't know any of that. I know Mitsubishi (like the rest of the industry) is hurting pretty bad right now though...

Rumors are that this one will be there last one.
