East Tennessee Region SCCA

The R1R's have been awesome. I feel like I'm still learning how to drive with the extra grip.

if I were located in Knox itd be no biggie but I make a concious effort to not bring it out here and let all these hooligans around campus beat up my car. it has a habit of being targeted by vandals. I may try to talk the faja into trailering it out here but I dont really wana put that on em' dunno...

I've been looking around on the website for information on how the championship points are calculated. Is this posted on the site anywhere? And what is this "jacket" I keep hearing about? Is there a championship trophie event or gathering at the end of the year?

I noticed a lot of people taking pictures also. Are they being posted up somewhere else?

But don't you have a Miata?

You've got lots of options for engine replacements for the Camaro. I look forward to seeing/hearing whatever you decide on.

fun as always.........In the old rust bucket without shocks and tires it kind of reminded me of whitewater rafting with all the extra bouncing I did.... :oops: I hope it at least gave people some laughs out there because I sure was laughing in the car at how crappy it was.......but still more fun t...

Ob lost+found: I have a black bag with the Sprint logo on the side of it. It was near grid spot 14 during the second run group. If you think it may be yours let me know. It's not mine, but it was sitting near my grid spot. I meant to carry it up to the tent, but I forgot. I'm glad someone saw it an...

I'd love to have something like that (with a passenger seat and a more comfortable driver's seat) for a daily driver. It would be fun to AutoX also, but I don't know that I'd ever have it on a road course.

If I ever get rid of the Focus, maybe I'll put something like that together.

I'm typically obligated on Thursday nights, but I may try to make it out there. Anyone know if I'd be able to get away with running my car and my bike without having to pay double the entry fee?

"yeah, it's one of those honda sts cars like this one (pointing to haupt's car) and they were racing each other all over the place." That person definitely didn't see it for himself. The two cruisers in front of us were "racing" with us too. People up there seem to be so prejudi...

The problem didn't seem to be that he was pushing the car too much for the conditions. The problem seemed to be the driver losing focus (no pun intended) of the roadway, dropping two tires off the pavement (not from too much speed over a crest), and then not being able to get it all straightened out...

howd he manage to lose it to the INSIDE of a turn? It all started before the turn. He got a couple of tires off the road, and over-corrected a couple of times. Once the tires all caught traction, he was pointed down the side of the mountain. Michael saw it all, and explains it pretty well in the Fo...

One of them drove their car off the side of the mountain. Everyone was OK, no injuries. No d...

I'm going to be in the Deal's Gap area Saturday around 2:00 or so with a group of Foci from Focaljet.com.

That's some crappy public relations they've got going on at Subaru of America. Seems a little backwards to piss off all the people that otherwise would be praising the company and practically selling cars for them.
