They DQ'd the RX2? That's bullshit. Stupid ******* Camaro drivers.

 

Aside from visible structural damage how bad (...err worse) is the RX2 underneath after the wreck?

 

Sorry to get this thread all off track.....time to get it back on the rails.

So I talked to Rick today and I guess when they originally evaluated my submission they put me in the wrong group. After chatting about what I wanted to get out of the course he thinks (and I agree) that I can benefit greatly by starting in the Green group. Woot woot! Looking forward to it!

Sweet! Getting married tomorrow then gone for two weeks but will be looking forward to this when I get back. Later gents.

 

I'll look for you Saturday morning John, specifically what car will you be in? All that is left for me is the tech inspection, heading to C&C Northside on Wednesday to get it all looked over.

 

Sounds good! I'll be in a blue VW Golf R. I'll look for you as soon as I get there. Gotta get that tech inspection done as well.

 

Just a bit of a follow-up, this event was by far the most fun I have ever had on-track at MSRH. When I originally signed up I was a bit worried about how much actual time we were going to have on track and after this weekend I can say that is not a concern at all. I've had hours on track at MSRH doing LeMons races and honestly I learned more before lunch on Saturday at this event than I ever did at LeMons. Nothing against LeMons, there's just a massive difference between "track time" and "quality track time", especially for someone new to the track racing scene like me. The Drivers Edge event was worth every penny (and then some) and I fully expect to participate in as many of their events as I can afford!

Big thanks to Stephen for having the idea to try this and I'm sure he will post up here soon as well. Seeing that gorgeous red FD on track practically brought a tear to my eye!

Now a couple pics, for those of you that aren't friends with me on FB (losers).

 

^^^ What is FB? Must be one of those Homo VW Things.

Anyhoo, LeMons only has two races scheduled for the Gulf region next year. Of course we are going to race Road America too (brrrrrr Wisconsin in November).

WHO has interest in racing this next April?

Chihuahua Express

^^^ I'm going to be driving and navigating. The team I was picked up by is racing a '63 Barracuda.

Anyone else raced this or interested?

Is this worthy of a new thread?

 

It most definitely is.


$2500 to drive in Mexeeeeeco? I'll pass.

 

FD at the Chihuahua Express:



How can you NOT want to do this???

 

Had an absolute blast, I'm hooked. Already signed up for the event January 26-27 same track. Spots still open but filling fast rotards!

I am still in green group for next go round, I imagine John will be in blue or yellow so come on out and enjoy the weekend. 3+ hours of track time, lots of valuable classroom time and very helpful instructors. Even got to go for a ride in a spec miata

Driver's Edge is the best way to learn how to hit the track.

Will post videos as soon as my new computer arrives and can properly edit before throwing on YouTube.

 

Drug smuggling education program? Looks like a blast
