JUST KIDDING AL

 

^^^
Well thanks Blue, I'm trying to be diplomatic in my questioning...

 

lol....i would hope he knows im just kidding

 

No

 

I heard that track wasn't very interesting. I don't know. I was thinking about doing a SCCA event there last summer.

 

I ran part of it last summer, but from what I hear about this event its the whole track. So that should be a good time.

 

Is this the one in June at Autobahn? I was thinking about that one also. Though I'm really debating going to a driving school - which should cost quite a bit of cash in itself.

I think Al knows we're both just teasing...though insight into his tranny issues may be helpful to all of us.

 

^yep, I would love to hit up an actual driving school too, but for the price thats like 3 track weekends at the very least, tough decision for me to make.

 

at our last meet everyone said that they knew of driving schools that were only $40 or so....any word on these?

oh, and i think i just scratched my cornea. omg does it hurt!!!

 

I think those are half-hour classes before events, like an extended version of the class at zoom zoom live and before an SCCA autocross event.

I thought I did that once, then I realized that I was looking at a Pontiac Aztec. Still hurt though. And it takes you eye a long time to heal after.

 

hahahah! i was once stranded in charlotte due to a snow storm (a light dusting in NC means they shut down the state, cancel school, and close up all stores) This storm dropped mebbe 5 inches that nite and NC has no snow removal force, so it all stayed on the highway. instead of staying in the airport, i decided to rent a car to get back to my sisters (im a stubborn little one!) the only thing they had that would *possibly* make it thru the snow was an aztec.

i was embarrassed to be driving it, the interior cloth looked like someone had done a technicolor puke on it, it had a shape that left oh so much to be desired and it was just fugly inside and out

that being said ... that hideous box of metal drove thru that snow like a champ!!!

 

what happened to your eye red?

The Skip Barber school is like 2k IIRC, and you need to have some hardcore insurance incase you wad up one of their cars.

 

im embarrassed to say it was poked by a plant. i was watering it and didnt see this evil spiky part sticking out and it jabbed right into my eye!

actually i think the plant is possessed. it had nothing to do with my stupidity or lack of spatial depth.

i now look like this --->

 

Being Green is dangerous to your health.

I went to the Skip Barbour Race School back in the early 80's. It was $2K then. I trained in a Formula Ford for 3 days. I don't know what would cost today. Check the web site.

The school, that was about $40, is the Chicago Region SCCA Solo II (autocross) School. You can get details at the autoshow or at the Chicago Region web site. The school should be in April.

Skip Barber
Road America is $3695
Mid-Ohip is $3999

 

Thanks Al.

 

good lord thats a lot of money.

 

bored at work anyone?

 

Whats up guys.
New Rx-8 owner in chicago here.
Just signed up for EVOLV too.
A little bored at work myself.

 

word new guy. whats cracking?

 

Nothing much right now ... cant wait to get out of work to go play with the 8. Just picked it up yesterday.

 

nice! anything fun planned for it so far?

 

Im still in the learning how to drive and showing off to all my friends stage. The showing off part is a lot of fun. The occasional stall at an intersection isnt too much fun though (havn't driven many manuals before).

 

nice! what trim package do you have? As far as the stalls, just playing around with it is a great way to eliminate that.

 

hi guys! bored here too!

is it time to eat lunch???

 

oh and blue, he got RED (the fastest color of course!)
