|  |  2003 DSM Shootout
 The 2003 DSM Shootout, hosted by Buschur Racing, was held on July 19-20, 2003, in Norwalk, Ohio. Lancer Evolutions were welcome, and Mach V Motorsports sponsored a special drag-racing class just for Evos. See results below.
(If you didn't know, DSM stands for "Diamond Star Motors," which was a Chrysler/Mitsubishi joint venture that spawned the Mitsubishi-powered Eclipse/Talon/Laser cars.)
The white Talon pictured above right, was built by Tym Switzer and owned by Scot Wegman. It produced 820 horsepower to the rear wheels. Technical problems prevented it from making a solid drag pass.

|  Evo VIIYep, it's real. ACD, AYC, lightweight bumpers and a very mean look.
| | |  PaddockThe pit area was crowded with cars, drivers, spectators, and vendors.
| | |  Hotel parking lotSeveral hotels were completely full of DSM and Evo fans. The parking lot car talk stretched long into the night...
| | |  ConquestThe Buschur Racing Chrysler Conquest (powered by a 2.0 4G63 motor mounted longitudinally, and driven by Kevin Lawson) proved worthy of its name, conquering all comers with an 8-second pass to win the Quick 16 class.
