If gentlemen's means monied, yes.

Speedtoys

No..it means you hit, you pay.

Whats "monied"?

Charley B

Monied = A variant of moneyed = Having money.

Speedtoys

Yes, people with race cars, have money.

Charley B

And then there are people like me who had money until they got a race (track) car.

*chuckle*

Depends how you do it.


The most fun you'll ever have racing, is in a car you can buy for $3000, ready to go.


Thats where I started, 1st gen RX7.


..and you can only knock out dents in a fender so long, before it literally feels like tin foil. But thats half the fun.

Racing is alot of fun and realatively cheap. In no particlar order ******,Gambling, Planes ,boats and X-wives can be far more expensive.

So given Valintines day is near ................well you guys decide!

IcemanG17

At least I'm not alone

Since I teased myself (shocker) by going to Sears Point today and see the real racers run.....Speedtoys was arranged a ride for me in the 720hp Trans Am....uh....it was a bit POWERFUL.....like stupid powerful.....luckily the driver and real race slicks were up to the task!!!

I will make a list so its more clear...then my answer

******: nope (can't afford it)
Gambling: nope (can't afford it)
Planes: nope (I think your getting it)
Boats : nope (bring out another thousand...acutally sounds reasonable..)
X wives: NOPE...I like "its cheaper to keep her"....well especially in my case since she makes 2.5x what I do

Thanks Brian!

The races started great. Steffanovich was NOT able to shake us with this years new work.

Almost worked a pass on him as well.


But...the right rear wheel broke at the hub in 7, and we ate the wall. Hard. The chassis is a few inches narrower under the car down the whole right side.

I managed to scrounge together enough funds to register for both the race and open group both days!!!!!! I will be there!!!!!!!!!!!! Time to defend my GT3 time trial win record and hopefully win the GT3 race group too!!!!! I'm excited....it should be another great weekend...hopefully the weather will cooperate!

Everyone else who is interested in going SIGN UP NOW...the lower groups are already FULL on Sat and nearly full on Sunday.....do not wait, this event does sell out...so get your registration in now!!

Speedtoys

..im torn on what to do...but if I go, it -has- to be the last event of the year...I wont do this in the hot weather.

IcemanG17

Speedtoys
