Melting pistons to even the odds
Imagine if the car was done and ready. What if it was sitting under a car cover, waiting for us to dust it off in the spring, take it out and run around the country without blinking an eye? The first problem is that nobody would believe us. It obviously isn’t our style to be ready to race without some drama. The second problem is that it just wouldn’t be fair to everybody else for us to be so prepared. The other teams wouldn’t know how to react if we were actually on our game.

TimmySpec Rear Control Arms
I did mention a lot has happened since the end of the 2011 event.
Getting ready to go on One Lap 2011, we found ourselves scrambling and coming up empty handed for a set of rear adjustable control arms for the Evo X. When we really couldn’t find any, Tim went to work to make some. With an array of bushings, bolts, and swaged tubing Tim put together some pretty decent control arms for a one week project to get us on the road.

2012 Entry into One Lap
So much has changed, even since the end of the 2011 One Lap of America. One thing that hasn’t changed is that we are far too addicted to this event to not find a way to go. So Tim and Stephen are once again submitting an entry into the One Lap of America for 2012. If we told you exactly how we were going to make that happen this year, the details of the car work ahead of us, or what adventure lies ahead of us, we would be lying.

19th Annual DSM-Evo Shootout
In 1999 I made my first trek to the DSM shootout. I traveled down with Chris Wirth, in my 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T and managed to come home with a trophy in the FWD class. I went for 5 consecutive years, meeting some great friends every year and putting some faces to the names of the people whom I had talked with online.

The Return of the X
The car came back to Rochester the last week of July. It was a subtle return from the Great White north, on the back of a trailer. Magnus had succeed in providing a running Evo X once again, back from the ashes.
