I would but I am not to fond of driving my DD all the way down there and then towing it back in the event something goes wrong... Sneaky suspicion my clutch is on its last leg. Just a tad to far for my liking.

I know lame excuse but I am sticking with it!

Absolutely there are instructors, you can also work you way up to wheel to wheel racing.

your permitted excuses because you went to the last event . plus one of your excuses was your going to a different track event, which isn't really an excuse as much as it is a legit reason


that can't be said for a large number of others who should be flogging their evos and don't. *cough* andrew *cough*

I'd love love to come, but I have an agreement that If I do no track events prior to my wedding (april 16) and help out with the planning etc, then I can have my engine built so I can do alot more of them going forward. I call that a good deal :-)

I'm totally in for this but I'm not sure I want to commit my Evo to the scrap heap yet.

I'd like to get a relatively cheap but pretty fast RWD car that I can come within inches of killing myself in and not feel bad about it. "Because that's what happens when you drive flat out -- like I do."
