Yeah, right :)

Axis vs. Allieds.. World War 2.. America, Britain, France vs Germany and Japan..

From what I read in GR motorsports, they divide the classes in two, German and Japanese cars in a class, vs American, British and French..

I loved the pics of the RX7 with the Japanese Imperial flag on it :)

Where's DamonB? I know I'm not the only one here running SS.

I have hopes that my driving skills will soon topple the mighty Z06's from the hill ... or maybe not. :D

I run out of the Kansas City Region. Yes, I run Nationals. Jeff has looked REALLY fast this year.

I only do local events but I'm in CSP getting killed by fully gutted crx's. According to the club I'm with if my car was stock it would be in Dstock but with any exhaust mods it is in CSP but all the other Dstock modded cars go to DSP what gives?

I am running CSP for a couple years as I pull the car together, then I would like to race IT. Again, another person sending finish slips to Mazda to pick up cheaper parts.

We have a great local autocross club that really supports novice racers and has a couple track days a year. So, I have been spending my time with this group developing skills (and buying parts).

Hell, who knows what class the Sports Car Communists of America will put me in. Ever hear some of the LAME protests that occur at the regional and national events. I just like to drive and enjoy MY car, set up the way I like, in the manner it was designed to be driven.
FTD will almost always go to some go-cart like contraption anyway so why worry?

I'm here! I'm here! Chased a whole mess of them at the Divisional this weekend. SS was the first run group Sat morning and it was raining; we looked like pigs on ice. Second run was partially wet and the thrid run was dry. I ran the car with three different setups inside of an hour and a half. Man it was a bitch.

I am finally going to take off the (very hard and tired) RS008II's and mount the new Kumhos for the Houston Divisional Aug 10-11. You coming?

Ahhh. Now I know who you are. You used to be on this forum under another Screen name. Your car looks good.
Hope to see you at the track.

Last year, my first, I was in ASP in the Atlanta Region:

BRAVO, BROTHER! MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY...

If you haven't guessed, I'm not a fan of the SCCA organization...I'm not sure if it's the SCCA culture I dislike, or the sheer size and bureacracy of the SCCA...either way...I prefer smaller open-track clubs.

Couldn't agree more!

The SCCA does seem a bit fascist when it comes to turbo rotaries. There aren't any classes where you can run wheel-to-wheel anymore.

And then there's the SOLO II nonsense. I was bumped out of ASP for a larger radiator of all things. This year, I was going to go to divisionals next week, but found out the registration was $55 per entrant. Not bad you say? Well, this event is sponsored by the Tire Rack. You have to wear their "Tire Rack.com" banner on your windshield or your DQ'd. I'd do it if the damn entry fee wasn't so high (usually $20 per event here in the Northwest). What the heck is the Tire Rack sponsing anyway?

I should compete with a "Tire Rack Sucks.com" sticker...

Manny, too bad you guys don't have any events here. I'm hoping NASA will grow (anyone catch the article on NASA in C&D?).

start your own NASA chapter. call up and talk to the boys at NASA's national office. Ask for Ryan and tell him Tim from RealRide.com racing sent you. they are always looking to start new chapters. problem solved.
