Mark Pilson in SportsCar!

Post by IsaacMTSU »

I got the new issue of the SCCA magazine and there's a pretty cool shot of the Celica, almost half page!

Actually, it is my car but not me driving. TedV is the driver. Looks like the picture was taken at Dixie last year. Still pretty stoked to see my car in SportsCar!

Its good to see the old car but what the heck? Can you say no rebound in the rear shocks? Was this Ted's one and done tour in GS? Car still looks good after all these years Mark!

Yup, one and done. I realised stock is just not my thing.

The shocks were all kind of fubar, especially the no valve working at all fronts

Just watch out for that rear squat under WOT over bumps. That was un-nerving!

I noticed Mark's car in there as well

Oddly enough, my car is the Z06 on the cover

Talk about a way to encourage the 'new' blood... put the slowest Z06 @ solo nats in 2012 and put in on the cover....

Cool Brian. I didn't realize that was your car. Lots of good coverage for the ETR crowd!

I believe Perry Bennett did the picture of my car. He also took the picture that is my avatar. The 10-year old shocks that were on the car didn't last long. The fronts got replaced and the rears got rebuilt. It's a different car now.

Yes, that image that was used by the artist to make that cover was one of the Perry Bennett shots. I have that picture on my bookcase :)


I told Kim "Well, that is about the only way that I will make it into the magazine other than just the list of drivers that didn't win "
