Congrats to the entire team, especially Mel and GCM2 for their time at the wheel and Eddie for having the quick eye for the track bar, guy. Quite an accomplishment!:thumb::thumb:

.....this is the first time I have noticed the sway bar links/setup on EVO1 ..... not sure how long it has been set up this way but looks very solid.

The factory sway bar, heavy duty sway bar link with gusseted arms to the axle, along with EVO mfg's 4 link control arm set up (EVO Monster Links) is exactly the reason why the race car was able to continue on for so long. Not having the axle located under the jeep did make it feel like driving on ice though ;)

I take it you were able to make it through the whole race without a nap like you did at KOH?

Oh we did all kinds of napping in the pit areas while waiting on EVO1 to arrive. Chase truck hwy mileage is much faster to cover then race course mileage! All kinds of free time

Frozen pre-made pb&j's are pretty sweet too!

Congrats again on the race to the entire team. Come hell or high water, I need to figure out a way to come see you all run.

Busy promoting "King of the Homers" you mean. Think it's going to be a break through year. :yup:

Good luck getting Sharkey to go, he hasn't taken a day off since 1983.

I was thinking about KOH15 as well. We should get a group together and rent some rooms or even some campers in hammer town.

The official KOH recommended RV rental company. Feel free to order one up! I'll bring cash. http://www.coronamotorhomerentals.com/vehicles/RV.html


I hoteled in Victorville Wed night last year, then camped Thursday night on the lake bed, then left to head home around 5PM and headed to Lone Pine to stay there for the night. I don't feel like submitting my Jeep to the theft experience when we stayed in Yucca Valley in '13.

This year I might stay Friday night too, idk, haven't gotten that close to completely figure out the plans yet.
