Mark's Evo IX MR Winter Projects

[Mark Leasure]

Damn, machining stuff is badass I wish I could do that.

It's awesome having my own personal machine shop in my garage. I started acquiring equipment about 5 years ago and now I just want more machines to expand my capability! I picked most of the stuff up on craigslist for extremely reasonable prices!

That's cool, but didn't you know how to use all that stuff already?

What kind of things can you make? I'm good with creating new products.

I have learned how to use everything on my own. Kind of funny mainly watching Youtube vids! I bought my lathe without ever operating one! I can make lots of stuff between my lathe and Bridgeport.

That's mega pimp.

How much longer you think you have left till you are driving this thing around?

[Mark Leasure]

Thanks!

I think it will be all wrapped up at the end of Feb.

Nice work! You planning on having this and the 1G at proving grounds this year?

It’s a possibility, for sure the 1G for drag strip. Maybe the evo for track, since it doesn’t have a cage? I also saw the turbo rules changed from 62mm to 58mm max size for true street.

Chris, why did this change happen?

The evo would be in the same class as the 1G.

I think the "honda guys" wanted the change. Who knows, but if you read the MAP rules thread it says there is NO quick 16 class anymore. Maybe Ill take the auto out on the road course. But if you want a passenger out there I'd ride with.:woohoo1:

EDIT-MAP said this in their input thread "Yep I see this as putting FWD cars at a bigger disadvantage, but its what they want. Also, what I have posted is almost identical to last years classes, worked pretty well from what I recall. I was just hoping to have a bigger Quick class this year, but it might not be in the cards. Plus I'm sure John and Mark don't want to run that Corolla either lol"

Clearly I'm going to need to review the event classes!

I don't think they updated it here, but true street is back up to 62mm.

Basically the honda guys with 5857 wanted to run the 6262 guys. bump that thread and maybe we can see what they are now.
