There was a track event for the Toyota MR2 out at the local go-cart track a couple weeks ago and I went and did a little racing and took a couple pics. I only spun and backed the car off the track once! 
Also I lead a small group of cars up the Old Greensprings Hwy, back down Dead Indian and then up to the top of Mt Ashland just for a fun run. Hit 110mph at one point and had a ton of fun with the small group of cars. Even pissed off some old hippie chicks! You can see us in the first photo with our 4runner backed up to our MR2 and the canopy. We had a twin right next to us.
My twin
The amount of time and money people put into these things is amazing!
Clean little supercharged 1st gen.
This 1st gen was supercharged AND turbo charged. He was running a 1.6 liter engine making 300+ horse power and 300+ lb/ft of torque and had the dyno sheet print out to prove it. He was running 28psi of boost!!! The turbo is located underneath the car, it took a while to find it. This is just his trunk with all the piping in it. They call this "dual charging".
Mandy ready to show the boys how its done.
This is the fun run up at Tub Springs at the top of Greensprings Hwy.
Misc pics......
My buddy gave me a free standing strut spring compressor if anyone needs to use it. Way better than the handheld versions.
This is a golf cart that SOU uses...notice the shortened Ford 9" underneath it in the second picture....Seems like a little bit of overkill!! If the tire went flat then the pumpkin would drag!
Another hobby of mine is the verbal abuse of household pets. My goal is to lower their self esteem all while raising mine. We were at a friends house last weekend when this guy strolled into the room. His name is Pumpkin and he weighs in EXCESS of 30 lbs! The cd is there for a size reference but it really doesn't do him justice. Can you say "FAT BASTARD"?
