new ITS car...

[Racefreak24]

[attachmentid=389]My name is Dan LaShomb and will hopefully be attending the NHIS driver school. My car is an ITS #4 Ford Probe GT and once it gets a pulley tensioner, CV joint & Rack & pinion it'l be ready to go. For the school i will be running (hopefully not craching) Buddys #58 ITA escort. I will be running a few times a year in the NER.

welcome to the madness

Dan,
Welcome to NER. Not a bad idea using an already working car for school instead of trying to thrash and get your car ready. Good luck!

[JeffYoung]

Cool car. We officially welcome you to ITS Team Oddball (I am one of the charter members).

Keep us posted on how she does. It's a good looking race car, I like it.

WELCOME FROM ALL FORD FANS!!!

[Fastfred92]

Welcome, even from Non Ford fans

Thanks for the support everybody, I'v been a race fan for as long as I can remember and racing is something I'v always wanted to try but u know how it is...you just cant afford it. Well, unless I hit the lotto I'm never going to be able to afford it so I just gritted my teeth and beared it because one of my biggest fears is to have a laundry list of "I wish I would have..." things when I'm older. Probe VS RX-7 and BMW isnt much of a match but to get out on Watkins glen, Mid ohio, Road america, atlanta, VIR and so many other tracks I have grown up watching is well worth a mid-pack finish. To race is a privelage...to win is an honor.

BRAVO!!!! Great attitude! Im sure the bug will bite you real hard and make you say "hmmm a little more power and grip and maybe..." Welcome to the madness!!! Just try to refrain from procreating for a few years and you will enjoy it more!

For the school i will be running (hopefully not crashing) Buddy's #58 ITA escort.

Yeah, NOT crashing my car would be a good thing. :P

[Prophet]

But.... slight damage wouldn't be bad for me!

Btw, coming to Mid-Ohio? I hope so.

The car is looking awesome!

Welcome to IT! I myself will be running IT for the rest of the season. I hope you will post some pics of your racing events on ProbeTalk so we can cheer you on. Also on ProbeTalk I've created a ProbeTalk Racing team. Once your done with the school or before you can join up and post events and such on CarCrazy.com. CarCrazy web site has a clubs section, there you'll find under racing - ProbeTalk Racing. But wait theres more. If you looked in the Racing section of the website. There is a sticky post that is dedicated to a discount with Porterfield racing brakes. Just follow the information in the 1st post and you'll get a killer deal on brake pads for your car.

Godspeed!

Racefreak24:

Welcome to our group. Got to agree 110% with your philosophy, as that is what got me to where I am today. I started working as an official with SCCA in 1966. But 4 kids but a hold on any on-track activity. In 1984, I was toying with the idea of an IT car, but new home, etc got in that way. I learned a lot about racing working at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and IRL for 10 years, but soon realized how long I would have to save up for the Prevost and the 18-wheel hauler! A new job and a bout with cancer in 1999 made my mind up real quick how fast those 'wish I coulds' can become 'wish I had's'. So when the opportunity came up to buy a pretty cool car with a Shelby name, I jumped.

My racing ambitions also center around just being able to drive some of the old tracks where I started my racing career, but I my case more of them are long gone than are still operating.

If you get a chance to get up to Mid-Ohio, give us a shout. We'll make your weekend as pleasant and fun as possible.

Keep us posted on your progress.
