Sorry Rich, you kinda caught me off guard, lol. Mike has 4 letters in it too, lol,. I have been on CEG for a while, at least a few years, I just have never registered on the forum. Thanks for the props on the car, its nothing special. If you look close, the rims are off my buddys Cougar, we painted them rattle can black and put a little clear on em, heck of a free mod huh? The exhaust is from Bosal. Anyway, hope to see you guys around, hope we get a meet together, I have some great roads we could run near my house in Bham, mabye we could check out Barber or something.

I have tried that dude! And that talked to me like I was some idiot. So... We are stuck with a dyno and that is all. I asked about a driving school and the jerk just giggled!

I want to drive on a road course more than anyone, but... I will just have to stick with Blender.


If yoou can make something happen, then I will be there not only with a camera in hand but with a video cam!!

Barber is focused on the Porsche Driving experience, which given their rates, is a VERY good idea. The couple running Barber used to run VIR and they established a country-club-like system for track days. A monthly fee got you x-number of days on the track. As of ~18 months ago there were no plans to do the same at Barber.

There is always little Talladega--Talladega Grand Prix Raceway. Reasonable rates and car friendly layout for the occasional 'off'.

Yep! I talked to them as well. Their prices are actually pretty good too, but they would not allow us to drive there unless at least one of us had a SCCA license and paid for a medical team to be onsite. The medical team was $450 a day, plus the price of the track; which I don't recall what it was right off hand. We would also have to have at least 2 corner workers for every turn. IIRC, for two days it worked out that each of us would have to pay out around $200 or so dollars. I think that was with 12 or so people.

I saw we just show up in the middle of the night. You know, like in that Mazda Tribute commerical.

Its alll good! I am sure I caught you off guard. Some dude outta nowhere just starts running up to the car... yeah... that would do it.

I did that this past weekend while we were back home in Greenville.

I was sitting at this intersection, waiting on the light to change, and this 95 tour ran by with rims. So of course, when the light changed I took off after it. I chased them for a short while and was able to catch up to them within a few blocks. I followed them to a club, in downtown Greenville, and once in the parking lot I jumped out of my car introducing myself.

It was at that time that about 5 mexicans jumped out of the tour and started walking towards me. Of course I was all jacked about the car, but I soon found myself surrounded by 5 people that did not speak English at all and did not find my antecks very funny.

I started walking back to my car and opened my door, to pop the hood. One of the guys started yelling and for whatever reason, one of the other guys held him back. Once the hood was popped, I turned around and yelled at them, "Settle the f*!k down homes!". They seemed to understand that... . I raised my hood and they all gathered around smiling while looking at my heatsheild and UIM.

Thank God for Zetecs!!
