August/September Autocrosses

I'm taking a break for most of August and most of September. The car is going into the shop for a new clutch and front and rear sways. Plus it's crazy hot outside. I could be wrong, but I think most of the NTEC guys on here will be taking the same break. Jose has a new baby, Jeremy has the death whine, and I'm a big fat sissy.

But for those of you who think they might want to make it out to one, go to dfwautocross.com for more info and dates.

The only 2 I might make it to is
August 13th - BMW #6 Texas Motor Speedway
September 25th - ER #7 Pennington Field

Oct, Nov, Dec I will pretty much be doing every autox that is left between BMW, NTAXS, and ER.

Sounds good to me. Mine is going in to the shop this week so i might be back in business by early to mid-August.

Also, interesting news, Ken O has bought himself a 2011 STI. Those of you who know him know what this means. It should be interesting.

That means we have a little time to kick his butt until he gets it all sorted out.

Mmm.. yeah pretty much. I was thinking that. I'm hoping that he's so used to driving a RWD BMW that he'll suck at driving an AWD Subaru. One can hope but I wouldn't bet on it.

I've been absent for various reasons, mostly due to trying to make money instead of spend it. I've got a pretty good looking opportunity in Dallas. Fingers are crossed. The heat doesn't help.

That said, I'll probably do 8/13 TMS as long as I'm not out of town.

If I have a new trans by then, I'll be there. If not, I might show up to watch a few runs.

Actually, he said he made some money on the deal. It's an interesting story but essentially he traded his used 335 for a new STI straight-up. Then 5 days later traded the STI at the book value of the 335 so he came out ahead.

LUCKY!
