You should go ahead and give it a try at the first event of the year instead of waiting for the school. We have people appointed to help new people at every event. Just get there early (at least 2 hours before start time) and walk the course a lot. You will do fine. Find out who some of the experien...

Question for the ones that ran a Pro Solo event before. On Friday on the schedule they show Practice Starts. Does that just have something to do with the Christmas Tree or are do they have a full practice course set up? :? It is christmas tree only. You get to run first and second gear and that's i...

Sounds like a good deal if it's what you want. I don't know about goldmine, though. That's kind of like saying an old Scirocco that runs but has some dings is worth $600... ok, maybe it is a goldmine... :D what are you trying to say, mark? Probably the same thing I would say to myself since I own 4...

CONGRATS!!!

I was just thinking she looked like Tyler. Poor kid... (just kidding) :lol:

Looks like we are going to have to start a junior kart program here locally in a few years!

Since none of my VWs are currently mobile unless riding on the trailer, I guess I will miss this one. Maybe the rest of the ETR VW guys can hold the torch for me. :lol:

Thanks for the link. I'll have to check it out.

Have fun, neighbor.

Unfortunately, this one is too early in the season for me. My cars are currently in pieces. One of them doesn't even have paint on it. Any chance of doing another one in late spring?

I see what you mean, I guess. You can run a WRX in ESP, but to be competitive, it will cost a lot of $$$. Unfortunately, you just described a lot of classes. At least, when you are talking about the size of my bank account. Funny how FSP ends up being one of the cheapest classes I can run in since ...

Mark, what I meant was..... How can a WRX and an STi be in the same Street Prep class, when they are so far apart on the stock class? Anything that would make a WRX have near STi performance (i.e. boost control, re mapped fuel+timing, and new gearbox w/ front lsd) would put the WRX in SM. Update/ba...

Actually, I just read Dave's post... He is probably more correct than me. :oops: However, I would be surprised if any of the local SM guys would care if you ran there. Maybe some of them can chime in here.
