    Racing miles? :eek:

    When a racing car's been around for so long and done very well it becomes like a museum piece--no one wants to hit it. Kinda reminds me of a certain hockey player who was the only one not to be checked in the latter part of his career. His name is Wayne Gretzky, and no wonder he scored something like 871,000 goals!

    Of course. But even IF it did have 600K miles, it wouldn't have an original part left on it. So much for the museum piece thing!

    Hey Greg...I guess I'll be bumping into ya at Steel Cities next weekend. They have the ITR cars grouped with the ITAs. Should be interesting mix with the ITE and ITS cars also included. (As I understand, Dr. Dan will have his balls-out 500hp ITE Firebird on track with us. Should be a scream racing with him in such tight quarters!)

    Default Lets go racing!!

    Ugh, is it time to race yet? The work week just seems to drag on and on and on.
    This whole racing thing seems to be a double-edged sword in regards to work; on one hand I can't focus at work because all I'm thinking about is racing, but on the other hand I now find myself actively and continually looking for work (I'm a self-employed animation/design consultant) so that I can continue to afford to race.

    I think I'm officially an addict.

    same here man. I always want to go racing also but find myself always on a slim budget. (who doesnt??)

    And ofcourse the work week always drags on...especially like this past Monday (Memorial day) usually there are 5 days to get work done, but now there are only 4 days this week to get 5 days worth of work done.

    but we all gotta keep our jobs if we want to play on the weekends...

    Welcome to the addiction! There is no known cure. I find that when I'm in the car whatever that may be going wrong in my life is merely forgotten. I'm living the moment and nothing else matters.

    No Beaverun for me. the house chores have been neglected for too long. Now it's time to dump cash into the other money pit. Anyone know of a 4 car garaged condo anywhere? Plus, I have a bachelor party to attend. I'll see you at the end of June at NL.

    My old house in Columbia Station had a 4 car garage.
    I miss that....
