Well, its that time of the year again, Im gonna be driving the VR4 with the new setup and new built motor all the way to this years DSM/EVO Shootout in Norwalk, Ohio on August 16, 17, and 18th. Im gonna be leaving Houston early in the morning on Wednesday August 14th, heading to my Hotel The All American Inn 419-663-1922 located at 415 Milan Ave Norwalk, Ohio.

Approx drive time is 20 hours 13 mins and 1278 miles one way. should be Fun. in 2011 I drove over 5000 miles coming from California in the VR4. so this trip shouldnt be as hard.

As i travel across the country i'll be updating this thread.

Anyways, whoever is interested in tagging along is more then welcome. so far there's 4 DSM's interested in leaving from houston with me, and Inline Racing is trying to Finish their EVO in time for the event and will be going with me out there too.


Wish me luck!

Not sure, im gonna be using my GPS as always and it takes the shortest possible way coming from Houston TX prob going through Arkansas, Tennesee, Kentucky, Missouri, and Indiana.

Good luck! hope to hear about your parking again over the loud speaker! I will be at the econo with a black 1g. Leaving the evo at home this year haha.

Haha thanks man, yeah I'll need to figure out where to park on that Sunday .

Planning on going this year for the first time all the way from colorado so I'm pretty exited.

Nice, we'll be coming from the same direction and might intersect right around Missouri, that would be cool if we met up around there and continued to the Shootout from then on.

Well guys, Me and my Chic are leaving tonight at 3am to start our 22+ hour journey to the shootout. Got the VR4 all tapped up from rock chips and even put a mesh screen for the Front mount. Wish me Luck!

^-----That's awesome! Good luck brother! Beautiful GVR4

I wish I could go!

Gps has us going through these states in this order, TX, Louisana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and then Ohio, if anyone wants to tag along.

Nice. The GVR4, for me, was always a comfy ride for long drives. Have fun!

Currently in Alabama and about 2 hours away from tennesse. last night with some rain I got 24.1 miles to the gallon, and today in the sun it went to 29.3 miles to the gallon. Good job Samara! That's up there with the hondas gas mileage.

Well we parked for the night In some town called Columbia Tennesse, been driving since 3am and its 830pm im beat. we're 7 hours away from Norwalk though, gonna hit it hard tomorrow morning. here are the pics from today.

Hope all is well Mike. Good luck with the rest of your journey! Gas mileage is terrific!

Thanks man

Well we made it here safely! =D here are pics from the way up here. also met up with a guy named Garrett and Samara met 621/1000.

heres a video i made from today's line up of Galant VR4's that i made happen.

I need one of these in my life so I can be in the secret cult, beautiful cars.
