I am proud to be associated with you guys!!

Recently there have been several posts by new racers, new forum users, want to be racers, people from sanactioning bodies other than SCCA, etc and this forum has quite simply been cordial, factual, and welcoming.

That is refreshing as some of the boards I haunt "eat their young" with "use the search noob", or "go read this thread and come back later and then we will answer your question".

Now I will run and hide and learn how to use the search button before I post again, OK?

Obviously trying to cover up the true OGRE you really are, huh Paul?

Did you run out and buy a Miata Paul?

Did you run out and buy a Spec Miata Paul?

I am a newbie too and have been receiving great help on my ITA/7 build. I would like to thank this forum a ton for the great help. I also would like to thank the fellow RX-7 racer who referred me to this great forum when I was out visiting the Pocono races on May of this year.

Sounds just like the typical race paddock...

That place settled down quite a bit once the Little Boys Club realized that all racers/autocrossers aren't white male Christian right wingers. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Sandbox can be brutal, but i still retain my thick skin from my pre-retirement career (and my 9mm)

Not all, but we're working on it !!!

OUCH!!!
I've learned the hard way, if you do buy one, not to let you guys know!!!

I whole-heartedly agree with Paul.
Seriously, this site was very helpful while building a car and continues to be.

the good thing about teh Sandbox is you can say anything you want, right, wrong or indifferent....just like if you were standing in front of someone...well not right in front of them.....

Very opinionated bunch to say the least....

[JeffYoung]

It's interesting......I think that would be a good rule (and I can't take credit for this, Ron Earp came up with it). Don't say something on a board unless you would say that to the person you are talking to's face.

While I enjoy some things on the Brown Board, and most of the people on it, quite a bit of what passes for "debate" over there would fail that test I think.

[Xian]

Very true... teh Sandbox covers very nearly all aspects of racing and, well, everything. I've been a little surprised at the number of folks that have found there way over to the site in little more than 2 years.
