But what if you really like Mexico Blue and prefer to drive the car yourself instead of the car driving for you?

Rad

Anytime you think you are better than Ian I am sure you could both drive the same car and settle it. Methinks you would get your *** handed to you. I will even offer up my 6GT3 as set up when Ian won SS in 2007. Only mod would be rear toe links. Let me know.

Problem solved on noise

Stock exhaust will go on for the event, I need to see Ian take down this mighty Fiat

I may or may not win.......but Rad will have his work cut out for himself with Ian

Ian, we can ride down in my truck

SCCA rules with all the adjustments allowed in class. Just remove all the go-fast parts and run ASP with me, or get PAXED. Feel free to adjust sway bars and make any changes allowed in class.

I can have the approval from Dave for this event to put it together, so Fort Myers is not an issue. I would need confirmation from Izzone, the ringer and CuatroCero on the date, with penalties for cancellation and public disclosure in case of abandonment.

For parking lot racing, I cannot bring the Fiat, I did before and I regret. I'm lucky to have survived a few close calls with curbs, plastic walls, cement walls and poles in the last 7 years, but not stupid enough to keep trying. Last time I ran the Fiat at a parking lot, I messed up a front fender not hitting anything, a Fiat fender costs more than a brand new economy car. Airfields only.

If I have to bring the Coxster, I will bring the drinks as well, last place is guaranteed.
Rad, if your afraid of damaging stuff ... Chumpcar it is.
Challenge is on 91 Toyota Celica with about 70whp. Cut springs, powersteering belt removed (cause it was leaking). Otherwise stock. 2:55.1 at sebring. You'll wanna go faster cause you gotta hold your breath to get past the smell of electrical fire, oil burning and other odd burning smells.

Autocross.......dont knock it until you have got good at it

It is boring to be slow at it, but a handful to be fast and good.

Ian started as an Autocross guy and can take any one of our Aero Beetles and make us look stupid......but from his autocrossing he can catch teh car just about anywhere

Yes, 9 years of Autox is the ONLY reason I haven't hit anything (other then people in the way) in 5 years or w2w racing now. I'll preach that till the cows come home. IMHO far better starter for racing then karting. Far cheaper anyway.

How did I miss all that ?
So I guess the war of egos is on. Please call me with time and place, so I can bring beer and chair to watch it.
I never saw Rad driving, or rode with him, so can't tell. From his videos, he's fast.
I saw Ian and rode with him, and I know he had the ***** to ride next to me during a full weekend, and was a tough one, car was all over the place. I rode next to Ian.
let's put this way, after a few laps I asked him to pull in....
Great driver and safe
