Yeah, it was a good day for the unmentionable one.

what i dont get is why do they use the weird little track and not streets or some other track, i know they are trying to be all JDM with the touge thing but that track wasnt built for cars at all.

Yeah, congrats to Mueller and the gang for turning the fastest EVO lap times, and I guess 2nd fastest overall to the Skyline.

They used Mueller's daily driver car not the race car because they were afraid of being graded down for bringing a "full race prep car". Unfortunately something mechanical fell apart in the motor, maybe valvetrain. They haven't taken it apart yet to figure out what happened.

Yes...s.h.i.v. and the gang have much to be proud of. I have less respect for BMI and Tsuchiya though..

From all accounts, Mueller's car was super fast out there. But, according several sources in the thread linked above, the V. car ended up having having the fastest time out of all the Evos/Subarus with a 1:03.0 sec time on it's next session (which was not recorded on the initial score sheet that was scanned).

In what way was that biased?* Enlighten me.

On topic...can't wait to see moving pictures of this event!! Oh and did they run this on Horsethief?? I've driven that at my own 10/10ths and it was the single most scary time I've had in the EVO seat to this day. Sick sick sick track, but not really designed for regular cars as was said above, but even more importantly...doesn't really resemble any tofu run (not even close) that I've ever been on. They shoulda shut down the 11 mile downhill on Latigo or the uphill on Yerba Buena...THAT would be hawt hehehehehe.

More than a few people got screwed over at that event... however, it wasn't a "who was the fastest person there" contest, it was a "who would look good racing the comptech NSX" contest. :idiot2:

That is the problem with events that involve judging instead of the clock.

well you know they don't use a track for the japanese touge either... they use the motorcycle circuit.

yeah seems like this was pretty gayzor beams. my favorite touge episode is still the mcr skyline vs the re amemiya rx7... they're going SO DANG FAST...

i just watched this video.... SHIVNU's evo broke down again this time... but they got a chance to fix it and have another go lol
not sure but i think they would have picked John's evo if his car is ok... just me though..
anyone know how much $$ xs engineering spent to build that skyline?

I like how Vishnu claims victory on EVOM, when not only did the car not win, it wasn't even the best scoring EVO...

Then again I've never understood the Vishnuites. Fortunately Vishnu going out of business has resolved all of those problems.
