    Welcome to the habbit!

    Hey, I used a 4 cyl Jeep Wrangler for my "tow vehicle" initially which on the way to my school lost 5th gear among a few tires. You're living it large! Just enjoy the experiences, and have fun with it.

    even if you are in the midst of getting the license, you might want to come as "crew" and check it out. mid-ohio is a great track.

    I'm looking forward to not getting in everyone's way as I wave to the corner workers... ...I'm new to driving, not racing. My grandfather raced (D Prod), father raced (Can-AM, F5000, etc.) mother raced (SSC Pinto), sister (FV) and brother-in-law (FC, F2000) and I've crewed for a F Prod National driver and my brother-in-law's Pro F2000 team ( www.zsportsmidwest.com ).

    As Mr. Gran's wife stated: "Dreams are for doing..." So with the new course at BIR being recently certified by the SCCA, I decided that the time to race was now or never... ...I always wanted to race (very badly) but my sponsor (Mr. Checking account) kept refusing my requests for racing funds. He stated I should wait until the funds were available... ..."F" it; I'll make it work, some how (dumpster diving for aluminum cans).

    See ya on the track...

    Great attitude! My brother and I are in the same boat, doing this as affordably as possible. Whether we ever run towards the front or not, though, NOTHING is as enjoyable as a weekend at the racetrack, and especially when you're there with your own car. Keeps the adrenaline flowing, the wheels turning upstairs (slowly for me), and a smile on the face. Good luck!!!

    Favorite tool to remove undercoating---- A curb!

    "Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."
