The Ralliart Evo is gone! Yup, she was sold the other day and has joined the list of previously driven Mitsu's.  I am driving the Mirage for the winter in hopes of a different car for the spring autocross season. Possibly an Evo X or a Lancer Ralliart. Then again there is always the new Sportback Ralliart coming soon...

Below is the cool and crazy story about how I came across this great Evo.

With the help of my brother in law and my dad I have tried to keep the car as original as possible while still modifying it and having fun with it. She is certainly NOT a trailer queen. She gets run hard.

Ralliart Evo IX MR: Factory Built by Mitsubishi Motors North America

To help launch Genuine Ralliart Parts and Accessories being sold in North America Mitsubishi Motors North America built this car. It was on display at the 2005 SEMA show in Las Vegas. It was then involved in a sweepstakes that was conducted by Mitsubishi Motors North America and Yahoo! Autos. The individual who won the vehicle lived near my work, York Mitsubishi. He needed a set of wheels that was a little more daily driver/economical and he knew that our dealership had a history of racing and an intense love for the triple diamond! We arranged to acquire the car and now it is our company show/event car. My father and I are the two principals involved with the dealership and we use the car as my daily driver, and as an autocross/track event/show car. We drive it in the events along with my brother-in-law Adam. We had bought an Evo IX a little while ago to make it into a show car and then we obtained this one! Talk about luck.

I also have a 2006 Endeavor that is my wifes car. We used to have a Lancer and a Montero Sport but they were both traded in on the Endeavor. You can see info on those cars in my main garage.

On these pages you can read about the car, the events we attend and the general obsession we have with Mitsubishi and Ralliart.

2007 Events
Below are photos and details about the events the car has attended.

2007 Pennsylvania State Autocross Championships
Adam did a great job finishing 5th at the PA State Championships! Talk about tough competition and some very nice cars. It was a blast and running against (for me) and running with (for Adam) the big boys in the STU class was fun.
