Ah, Sunday was really fun, I went to the races! :p
This is probably the biggest (or most well known) motorsports event in Singapore, the Sprints and SuperSprints. The Sprints basically are 1/8th mile or 200m drag races while the SuperSprints (SS) are the drag race, plus a specified course around the car park (parking lot to you Americans). Nowadays there are only really 3 kinds of car, Evos, Imprezas and old Civics. Not so long ago there was a lower class where Minis, Suzuki Swifts and Subaru Vivios competed, but it seems that's been canned. I even remember an A-class taking part many years ago!
Anyway, these are the pictures from that day:
Some of the really rather nice engine bays:

Woots. I see many snails!
EDIT: The car you helped to work on? You know the driver or something?
EDIT EDIT: Ooh. Didn't know Genconcept had a Murcie project. :eek3: But frankly speaking, it's bloody beng. :p
I have an Industrial Business Attachment at school, so my supervisor was driving that Evo along with his colleague (who incidentally had directed me to him in the first place)... Didn't really do much, just helped change the tyres and remove some of the excess interior trim
Ah i see... Must be fun. :p
Let's just say I'm looking forward to the holidays :bigthumb:
He's also gonna be doing some stunt driving at the Super Import Nights show at Expo Thur to Sun, so I'm probably gonna watch
