Not just on the track, but to those who competed in (an impressive) JDM theory car show hosted right in the center of the action, as well as trophies to the HPI track and drift events. Many thanks go to Chris and Nik of Time Attack for organizing such an event in which the best in the business have a platform to come and perform. Also, a huge thank you to those who came out to the event! Especially to those who took the time to stop by and say hello to the EDO crew on hand. We found the event enjoyable and rewarding and we hope to continue working with Redline in 2009.
