Talking Red and Ready to Race!!

HI folks here are a couple of new pics of the Lil Red Evo eater.

Just got sponsored by Hankook Tires and got a set of the new Ventus RS2's on the car.

This Car is pretty much a dedicated SCCA Solo car now. Her days of pounding the roads are pretty much over, but it is hard not to drive it on nice days when I feel the need for speed!! and whoopin any mustang on the road.

Mods include Tien springs, Up-Pipe, Bell Mouth Down Pipe, 3" turbo back, secret sauce etc, etc.

Other sponsors are www.autobuysite.com, www.budsmuffler.com, www.aero-turbine.com, www.coloradohomeseekers.com

Should be a fun season and the only thing holding me back from the wins must be "The Nut Behind The Wheel"


Cherrio

What do you think he's going to say about his sponsors' product?

Well, hopefully he'll list reasons why he likes them, not just that he does. I expect a positive response, of course, otherwise he wouldn't have sought sponsorship with them. Just trying to gauge how good these tires are. A lot of serious auto-xers have been really liking these tires ever since Falken discontiuned the RT-215.

about the Hankooks

Hello,

Well I actually just mounted these tires last week and the first full weekend of Auto Cross is this memorial weekend so I will give you my race reviews on monday.

I can tell you however that so far the butt-o-meter really likes them. My confidence through tight corners in a area called deer creek canyon is at a all time high!!

One thing I do like alot is that the tread design allows me to rotate the tires on the rims as well as side to side.

That is something I noticed I could not do with the Falken 615's.

I ran a search on Yahoo for Hankook rs2 reviews and so far it looks good, plus they have a great contingency program, that any one can appreciate, sponsored or not!

Cheers

Lew
