2007 was a year of ups and downs. Evans first Grand Am Koni Challenge race at Miami-Homestead got off to a great start and a decent finish.   He was driving the GSM Motorsports GTi. They were leading for a good part of the race, had a great pit stop and were poised for a great finish but a few cars got in the way.  A pit speed infraction put them to the rear of the field half way through but they battled up to 5th and got into a tussle with an RX8 and a Subaru.  7th place still is pretty good though!

The next pro race was at Mazda Laguna Seca in a Roar Racing RX8.   Evan was helping to get the car set up and was asked to drive.  The car had a differential fail in the first session so a stock unit was installed (normally it has a full race unit) hurting laptimes.   Evan and his co-driver were able to run the car from the back of the pack up to 13th.  Another Subaru tried to stop them with the worst dive bomb pass ever but it did not hurt the car too much just cosmetic damage.

The 3rd race was to be at Lime Rock Park Conneticut in the GSM Motorsports VW GTi.  The car was ready and it was Evan's first time there.  This is a short and very fast track. The car was great just needing a few tweaks here and there.  The new co-driver got in the car and promptly smashed it into the front straight wall ending the weekend and the season for that car.  The car is fixed and ready for action next season with your help!  Stay tuned in here and on Speed Channel for some great racing action in 2008!  Here is the preliminary Koni Challenge schedule.  I am hoping they will add Laguna Seca back on there and maybe some more west coast venues but time will tell!
