Larry DSM means Diamond Star Motorsports
I'm glad someone explained that. I asked the same thing a while ago on Mainestreet and no one explained. I thought it meant Damn ****ty Machine.
What kind of equipment do you need to race at Epping? Do you need a helmet? I would like to try it but I don't have a helmet. The season must be coming to a end real quick. Maybe I could go on a wednesday if I requested a 8 hour day at work.

You need a helmet for anything below 14's. Roll cage is required for 10's and a Drive shaft loop is required but not sure at what ET. I belive the track closes next friday.

I was just doing a little reading on their site. Damn, I don't have a helmet and if I went after work I would have to bring some pants(still wearing shorts).


You have to have pants no matter what you run. If you dont have a helmet or cant borrow one then dont bring one but once they see that you have a turbo on there during the tech inspection then they prob will require you to have one figuring that you will be below a 14.00

Brian and Larry

Diamond Star Motorsports worked with Mistubishi and Chrysler to make the Eagle Talon and the Mitsu Eclipse they are one in the same essentially


yeah there both crap.

Larry, why are you asking about DSM, thinking about trading in the cobra for someting that you can handle :D
 
Ok guys (for those who care), I called SVT DIRECTLY today and was asking about when I was going to recieve my build sheet. Well at the end of the conversation, I casually mentioned that I have seen ALL OVER then net that SVT is going to be disbanned. They kind of laughed at me and told me yes, it's true about the lightning being DELAYED, but THEY ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!! So I guess I have to believe them over all the internet rumors. They also told me the same thing happened when the focus was canned. So take it for what its worth. This info is from Special Vehicle Team, not some SVT dealer.
