I think that Evo could use *ONE* more sticker.

Nice pics WebPimp, as usual!

 

The EVO gets to run as many stickers as he wants -- it did the 'One Lap of America' event about 6 weeks ago.

 

I'm with you Airgate. That Evo has a Cabela's sticker WTF?

 

they were an official sponsor of one lap, and i put that sticker there at watkins glen

...for more info, check out the august issue of car & driver or the tnn special set to air in a couple months

go to bridow.com and click on photos and you can see them...i didnt take most of the photos though

 

WTF is up with all of the crashing?!!!

I've been to a bunch of runs here in So Cal, and I haven't seen a crash, yet.

It sounds like thing were way out of control. Is there a thread with more details about the run?

I honestly don't know what got into people.... Like bridow i ran at 75%, and specifically told everyone before they got in the driver seat to keep a COMFORTABLE pace. Anyways, next year it will be strictly a CRUISE as a big group on the Blue Ridge Parkway (45-55mph), then lunch/dinner, then branch off to do whatever roads you please

High Tach will have ALLLLLLLL of the pictures up i'd say within a week. I'm still waiting on some people to send me their collection. I'd prefer to put them up all at once.

 

Many variables, one cause, driver error.

I was cruising 40%, pushed a few twisties to 80-90%, got a little brake fade, cooled it back down to 70%, turned out to be 110%, don't know exactly why, like I stated, many variables, but only one cause, driver error.

I feel really weird as I had slowed down, then lost the corner to kiss the mountain. I was one of the preachers on a soapbox about keeping it safe, as I normally do, and still believe. Believe me, mountain runs will be much slower and smoother in the future. Track days are cheaper than repairs, and I don't know how long it will take to repair my ego, as this was my first incident in 25 years of spirited driving.

I feel my incident was minimal, and I'm thankful for that, as it could have been a disaster.

If any good has come out of this, my son has learned that even skilled drivers can slip up in an instant, and he has slowed down.

 

I gotta tell ya my heart skipped a beat when I rounded that curve and saw the dust still in the air. Glad you and your son weren't hurt. Whats the word on the repairs? I'm guessing a new front bumper, bend out the passenger's side radiator suppport and at least a bent tie-rod.

 

Mountains are a tricky place to drive. They require 100% concentration all the time (specially if you are driving spiritedly).

I did a lot of driving in the mountains and have seen all sorts of accidents. Nothing scares the sh#t out of you like driving behind a family member and watch them loose it on a turn and slide into incoming traffic (he missed the incoming truck and ended up in
the ditch - needed a new hood, no injuries).
