OK, 1st... Good thing you're going to school. Hopefully you'll learn how to type and communicate on a public forum. Punctuation, proper spelling and conveyance of thought through written word will go a long way here. How you got through HS and accepted into University with writing and spelling like that boggles my mind.

For a 'tuner shop' you might want to check the regional forum. This is a sub-forum for motorsports. All of us hail from different parts of the country and Canada. You'd have a better shot at asking locally.

Thirdly, what are you going to do with your car? Road Race? Auto-x? Rally-X? Road Rally? There's quite a few programs that SCCA offers that you could use your membership to participate in... so we cannot really offer guidance in how/what to do to your car without knowing what you're going to use it for/how it's going to be used. (And a tuner shop wouldn't be necessary for most of the stuff).

as for the extent of my grammatical capabilites they are actually fine. As for graduating and getting accepted into college that was not challenging to the slightest degree, however when you are young and tend to chat alot on AOL or AIM, you begin to develop a new type of communication on the Internet. Which explains the typing i am sorry if i threw you off, But do not be mistaken i am educated, bilingual, and will be double majoring in accounting and finance along with playing D1AA Intercollegiate football. So i think will be fine as for the main reason i will be participating in SoloII and AutoX. As for the tuner i am looking to get my car really hooked up i would later like to pursue NOPI, NIRA, and other groups my goal in the end is to pursue professional racing and represent the 8 to the fullest degree. Although the SCCA will serve as a starting ground to get me started, unlike many young uneducated drivers, i do not intend to danger my life or that of others on the street and will race in sanctions only as well as atend as many driving schools as my schedule permits me thank you again and dont worry no offense taken

Hey Spictacula, You may or may not already know of BeaveRun Motorsports complex. It's about an hour from downtown and probably about half that from RMU's campus. They have a small road course (another one planned), a kart track and an autoX area. What kind of racing are you looking to go pro in? I too have ambitions of becoming a professional racing driver though my goals are to reach Formula 1 or Champ Cars.

Good luck, and you can find more info on BeaveRun at www.beaverun.com

Welcome to the board. Glad to see another Pittsburgher on the boards. With summer coming to a close we really need to organize a get-together. I'll start another thread for that. Did you buy your car from the Moon Mazda dealership?
