5. Buy slower, cheaper car to race.
6. Notice that actually racing slow, "cheap" car costs as much as track days with the cool, fast car.
7. Sell cool, fast car.
8. Race, race, race.
9. Realize that you're broke, the house is falling down (because you have no time to deal with it), and you're sick of driving a big diesel pickup to the 7-11.
10. Sell all race junk.
11. Buy cool fast car.

Just a spectator on this lengthy and hilarious thread. <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />
Hoosier Daddy and Appropriate gear...funny stuff!!!Though I am ultimately slow as a non- racer, I think I might have some expertise to share with this team. I would be happy to back up team doctor Anir with what appears to be much need psychiatric consultation. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

"Team Shrink" -- absolutely. And badly needed. You're in. But do you have enough time to provide therapy for the entire team? I strongly urge you to consider shock therapy for our Team Promoter, Phil McG.
You'd be in anyways on the two 993 rule, since the Dino, and any Ferrari, is suitable substitution.
Does non-racer also mean no track at all? You have to try it. It's a ball.
