holy crap! that was before i was born, Al!

how hard is it to get your race license?

 

2000 posts! WOOT!

 

**** thats a lot of cash. What about those track days that mac was talking about? And yes she did have a great time.

 

keep me posted on the Gingerman one, for a few hundred I will go.

 

First, you have to have a legal race car (what is race car spelled backwards?), get a physical and get your novice permit. Then you need to attend 2 SCCA drivers schools and regional races. If you don't screwup, you will get signed off to obtain a regional license. One of the SCCA drivers schools can be waved if you have attended a professional drivers school. Or have previous racing experience. After completing 2 regional races, you can apply for a national license. Regional races are a more low key, local event. There are classes for cars which are only allowed to race in Regional events. I ran my RX7 in such a class (Improved Touring, ITS). National events you race for Division points. At the end of the season the points leaders for each race class, from all the national divisions, are invited to the SCCA National Runoffs. These have been held at Road Atlanta (I attended in 79, 80 & 81) and Mid-Ohio. They are now being held in Topeka, Kansas at Heartland Park (this is owned by the same man that owns Blackhawk Farms Raceway).

 

I got married in 1981.

Now it's 2001, A Spaced Head Oddity.

 

That was the worst movie ever made.

I loved that movie. I got a VHS tape of it before I could afford a VCR. The tapes cost $80 at that time. I still have that tape.

Thanks for posting the pics, Al.

 

Yeah - thanks for the pics...those 3000 GT pics make me sick to my stomach...hope he had some sort of racing insurance or a mattress full of cash...

What you don't see is the RX8 that was wrecked. It wasn't quite as bad, but it didn't end up in much better shape.

 

i think the concensus was that it is probably totaled too and if not it is very close. Hope insurance will help him out with that.

 

does anybody know how to contact that professional picture guy that was there? I meant to pick up a couple of the shots he had.

 

Thats right I forgot about that. Next time I'm bringing a camera.

 

You talking about the guy that showed up early on Sat? Man that sucks, his car was nice.

 

Hey Al, would by any chance have any pics of me?

 

i totally forgot about mine in my bag

 

batteries, do'h!
