We have been rock racing and rock crawling for eight
years over Volkswagen sized boulders, up and down waterfalls and through the
brush. We thought it was time to venture down another avenue that we
didn't have to go far from home to enjoy.
To achieve this, we picked up a 2004 Mitsubishi EVO VIII GSR
to have a little street fun! I'm sure many of you are familiar with
the Legendary EVO VIII or you have seen one on the street. In 2007 we
began participating in Street Legal Class Drags. Talk about an
adrenaline rush! Melanie and Ron are both competing as drivers and
doing very well.
AEM has followed us to our new venue. They are doing a complete
sponsor build-up on the EVO VIII. To include their EMS Engine Management
System, Custom Cold Air Intake, DC Sports Exhaust, Turbo Header with Down Pipe,
AEM Gauges,
and AEM Turbo Boost Controller. The buildup was covered by Grass Roots
Motorsports and be published in their Aug/Sept 2007 issue.
Hercules tire (245/40/18) is providing the rubber to keep this baby on the
road and track. Riding on Rota Tarmac 18" wheels.
Eibach has provided their Pro-Kit springs. We installed the
springs and were pleasantly surprised to find that the ride was as great, better then stalk. Usually when you install performance springs
your ride stiffens, not the case with the Eibach Pro-Kit.
We are excited to welcome Hercules and Eibach to our team this year.
You'll see more on our sponsors as we run their equipment down the track and
on the street, putting it through hoops.
