Default Hello

New board user, long time driver.

Just wanted to drop a note to the board saying hello. some of you know me, but I imagine a lot don't. I've been running cars for eaons it seems. Autox with TSCC and ODR, then switching to open track about 1990 with Car Guys. Been doing the track thing ever since.

I've been instructing with Car Guys for 6+ years now, running a lot of the east coast tracks. The car is part 86, part 94, part 98, part thunderbird, part late model NASCAR stock car machine. However, the main uni-body is still original so I guess it is really a 86. Makes about 320 hp.


Spent this weekend up at Summit doing the last event of the season. Wet and cold. Yech. Can't wait for some summer runs again.

Hi Tom..

this is my first post also. I was flagging the event, remember your car.

The weather sucked, but made for great entertainment. Gladly nobody was hurt (as far as I know). Well, except maybe a few egos.

Yah, it was cold and wet. a horrible combo up at Summit. We do appreciate you workers. It can't be easy standing out there soaked to the bone. My mustang twitched every time I tried to put down some power in the corners. Except Saturday when we worked a dry line. I got a few power runs in before the rains came.

What corner were you in?

Hi Calvin. Noticed you and Dale were here. Who else?
