Mike,
I understand you worries. you have a huge responsibility on your shoulders and I see it takes a lot of molding to make sure HWFMR keeps in the direction you want it to be in. I will watch my writing, and keep this in mind every time I go to say something that could be interpreted differently then I expected it to be. I will re-instate the title in my signature. By the way, just for your information. I removed Calendar guy from it because I was unsuccesful in pulling the calendar together in time for release. Dealing with PAG is not fun. You can play phone tag for a month and not get anywhere. I'm going to start in august or september this time to get this calendar actually released this time around. So until then, I'm no calendar guy, I'll remain merely team tyke.

Oh yes! An HWFM baid aid. If got a divot the size of a golf tee-head right in front on my headlight caused by flying track debris. Cost to fix, $1400 since they would have to remove and replace stone guard and blend 3 panels. I would definitely put on a the turtle band aid .

PS my wheels are only blurred because Steve did something with shutter speed so I looked faster.

Mooty, thanks. I support Mooty's application to HWFMR too (different thread I know.)

If you are around on Sat, stop by Viperbob's. I'll be there getting JIC's installed. I'm not waiting to get started with the mods.

Here is my beloved race car:


Since it's no longer with me, when - if - I get back to the track, I'll be driving my Boxster, just like before I got the 924. I've been very sloooow replacing the track car . . .


I'll spare you my car's final pics, I'll just say it wasn't on the track when it met it's end, and it wasn't my fault.

A team band-aid sticker is a great idea. Unfortunately it may get a lot of use.

And great minds do think alike.

When Jeremy Goldberger met the wall at Sebring, and was pounded out so he could run the next day, teammae Jeff Phillips used red racer tape to make stitch marks on the damaged panels.

Old Guy

I have no moto-xperience. So this will be a difficult decision for me.

If that shot of you on that two-wheeled thingie had you tangled in the wires above you, you would be in for sure.

I think I should open up your application to discussion by the team membership.

Gentleman, ladies and Mother Superior?

I say let the Old Guy in. I have MotoX experience as a passenger. Yes, I was very stupid in my youth, but thank goodness my boyfriend was a test driver for CanAm. I think he just like to have me hold on tight as we went over bumps, stairways, through mud.... hem.... no wonder he had a smile on his face Boy was I DUMB!!!!!

Hey Old Guy.... you don't look that old IF that is you in the picture!!! Don't lie now, or Mother Superior will get her paddle out!

Here's my contributions; the first picture is my street car and the second is the race car. Since the photo the race car has received about $6000 in suspension upgrades so it corners through turn 8 at Putnam a lot flatter (not sure about faster though!)

Mike and JoAnne that is the Riverside Old Timers I was racing with!!
You have to be 40 minumum to join! I crashed one race when a 73 year
old guy took me out!!
Mike I have tried to get people to take my pic when the wheels are over my
head but ambulance keeps getting in the way!! My finishes
last year 5/8, 7/10, 12/13 (got stuck in the gate), 14/16, and 9/11.

In the NOVICE DIVISION!! (worst to best , novice/amatuer/expert/Masters)

The last time I went out with my kids, I lost to my 8 year old!
he is on a 65 I am on a 250!
the 13 year old ditched me a long time ago!

I did however finish in the top 100 in points in our 134 person club!
and I promise to track my car as soon as Viper Bob gets done with it!!
