    Thanks guys. Working on better brakes, suspension & more power for 2007. It wasn't easy with those Evo's on my tail.

    Thanks for your kind comments guys. Those Evo's are really faster, but I was able to hold them off. Starting on pole positon helps.

    With Evo's breathing down my arse, I wasn't shy at cornering at all! Had to get away from them. Stock suspesion & street tyres. No comments from the Evo drivers, but some comments from the guys on the forum :
    "lord dat gallant wukkin leave all dem evo out from d start "
    "Yes boy, dat vr-4 wukkin boi!!"
    "Eddie show up in short pants and cut everybody @$$ "
    "Ralphie (Evo7) could not beat ah big arse VR4?"
    "plain talk the Evo's got bullied on a circuit track by a big heavy VR4!!! "
    Representing the VR4...nuff respect here !

    ^^^ The Silver Evo (on race tyres) started overheating...he was the best driver (& fastest ) out there, he moved through the field to 2nd place.
    Lucky me.
