Andy's car is really nice. Joo can buy my car for $25k too. I'll make a bunch more money then he will though ;) It's built by a short fat guy in the driver's seat.

It was great to finally meet...

This is the best I've seen so far.

Instead of the blanket change to 14, why don't we move the age AND ADD ADDITIONAL SCHOOL/HPDE EXPERIENCE requirement. Honestly, I am disappointed in how easy it...

I'll be there, but I'm in ITR.

Honestly, I like the big course. We don't get enough events there as it is, let alone skip us out of that too. Is this our club's choice or the tracks?

Ok, I'm listening...I want to do something since July is the last HPT event & I can't travel very far....hmmmm, the weekend after my national sales conference. Sounds like a great opportunity to blow...

This is a great reminder...

First race this year, I thought the car felt really loose during the first few laps. That's when I realized I never tightened the shoulder belts. I was fortunate not to...

Sweet! I was looking for that last week.

3 weeks until our first SCCA event at Heartland Park. I'll be running in ITR. It will probably be the only chance I have to get a track record :P

Since this subject seems to be gaining life...My argument, while apparently invalid, is that the duct area when using the parking lights is a simple, effective way to add brake cooling while at the...

While I agree with some different language to clarify such an old rule, I find it interesting that the front parking lights ~3"x5" can't be used (everyone seems to agree here). Afterall, they are...

Thanks to all who have provided input. I can see I'll have to spend a little more time learning the nuances of this lovely GCR before getting creative on anything else.

Awesome stuff. I can't wait...

Good - it looks like I am starting to learn to read these things the right way ;)

Thanks for your input.

Andy - thanks for your input. To make sure I don't do this inappropriately...

That's classic 'good rule gone bad' if I've ever heard one...

You asked, so I'm answering. I do realize I'm in the minority on this one.

fwiw - I drove my car to work today. I do this on average 2-5 days a month. It saves gas compared to the stupid big...

I guess I'm on the other side of the fence.

Race a honda - $400 for an ecu that uses the stock harness & spend $300 to tune it with a new chip.

Fits in the case & is extremely reliable.

Wow - I think I know more about BMWs than I thought was possible.

I guess I'm the only slug with an ITR that will be running in ITR. I really don't care about the weight at this point. It will be...

Alex - definately skip "racing" for a year or two and do some HPDE's so you can learn how to drive at speed. You'll know soon enough if door-to-door racing is an addiction you must feed. During my...

Hmm - good point. This was an S2. I didn't get a chance to look closely. Another race buddy had ridden in it during and HPDE. I guess I'll have to go look at the differences between S & S2 (I didn't...

If you want to see a 944S (please correct if I'm wrong in my car recognition) in motion, watch the last Heartland Park video.

I'm just glad we are making progress for this class, so I can race this:

I will admit several times driving the race car to work. It used to be my DD. Although I get many silly looks (especially since I'm dressed up professionally) I've never had a problem with the...
