I'm at the time attack here this weekend. Today was test n tune and tomorrow is the race day. I met Tarzan, green haired crazy japanese guy. The scion tc with the huge front wing, and the mazdaspeed3 rally car. Eric burmeister drives the rally ms3 and was super awesome so we ended up hanging out with their group most the time. We got interviews of him and Ryan gates. Ton of video and pics. I'll post when we get back LOL and e3 pics :s. I got nasty sunburn but there is still another day!

Tarzan is a crazy guy in front of the camera, seems a little more normal when not in front of the camera but hard to communicate with. Is he running that Subaru?

Is he running that Subaru? Yeah he was laid back and had his friend to translate. He is driving the new subaru, ken blocks subaru is there too and the are similar but tarzans is Tarmac only setup. |

The TC with the wing on the front is Christian Rado's if I remember properly. Adding the wing was the only way to generate engough downforce to plant the car and let the 1,000 HP get to the ground. Funny as hell to look at, but they took like 5+ seconds off their lap times.
Have you seen the AMS/NOS EVO X? Suppossed to be there and early testing was showing it to have some awesome potential. In shake down runs at 12-14 lbs of boost they were beating their old lap times by 1-2 seconds. |

actually the tC has more like 713hp. I would really like to see that thing in a wind tunnel to see the actual effects it makes. It got the fastest fwd time for the event, but that team ugh. They didnt like talking to anyone and then they delayed the race 2-3 times, sooooo many drivers were pissed at them. The race doesnt get held for anyone else, but they some how got 10-15 more minutes to prep more before the race... it was pretty bs since its suppose to be, if you arent here too bad.
Gates won the modified class, Tarzan won unlimited and fastest time overall. Here is a teaser, here is me in the ms3 rally car. (IMG:http://img196.imageshack.us/i/pintherally3.png) |

(IMG:http://img196.imageshack.us/i/pintherally3.png) Sorry, you are correct, at one point they had it at the 1,000 hp mark but could not get it to stick. Maybe they are slowly upping th HP with their new wing on the front? |

I think it may of had a wing before time attack but I cant remember. Wait till the video of it, man it would come into corners hot but goofy as hell looking. |

haha dude that wing looks insanely odd. i really want to see a wind tunnel result of how much it actually forces the car down. Because the grip it needs to corner...well its already going slow as it braked before the corner. then accel and decel well...sticky tires help the most with that. so im still unsure if its helping as much as they are claiming.
