Hey Cody,

The evo is my friend Chris who came up with my other group on Saturday.

The guy sitting shotgun is Richie (instructor) doing his backseat driving skills

you can borrow one if I am not using it. But in all honesty best to get one for yourself so you can see the times through a lap timer.

Remember it's 80% driver & 20% car.

srsly


Ruben's driving skill shows almost no fear. Perhaps its because of the bad accidents he's been in (not on track). Live and learn and Ruben is able to show that he has definitely learned from his previous mistakes. He knows what its like to take his driving skills past the limit of the car and some how makes it match which is why he is fast.


I have some JIC coilovers in my shop Ruben.
