There are some nice ones though.

I live in MA. Haven't really seen that many first gens around. Untill I got mine I never looked, and since then (About february) I've only seen 2. I don't think it's a really common car up here. Hard to find a place to work on the engines.

there is no lack of action at that track...

If we're not using it there is a club rental or a race weekend.

my first week working there was the ALM and Speed World Challenge weekend

Can you say sweet!!

I missed the Speed GT race though

Guess I won't be too lonely....

I work for the Skip Barber Racing School as a mechanic.
And yes it awesome!! It's a whole new experience and
a completely different perspective on the sport.

We only used the track for half the day so the local road
racers came out of the woodwork for a track rental.

no 1st gens, but a group of guys had couple pretty decent
second gens to throw in the mix. (I stayed a lil late to check
out the action)
