The story
2011
Evans Tuning began drag racing again in 2011 after taking 4 racing seasons off with a 95 Acura Integra built for the True Street Class. The car was built for 2 years by Jeffrey Evans before it was ready for competition. It made its debut in the 4th Annual $10,000 Outlaw FWD Shootout with Brian Ballard driving during Fall Nationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ.
Record and Crash
Jeffrey Evans was able to set a record in the class running an 8.980 @ 167.34MPH during the first round of qualifying and on the 3rd full power pass in the car. He was the first in the class to run an 8-second quarter mile at a True Street event in full legal race trim.
Control of the car was lost after it made it to the end of the track. The car swerved across lanes and crashed into the wall. Although Evans Tuning has said on their official Facebook page that they will compete it 2012, it is unknown whether this car will be repaired for next season.
