ncal tracks are all $$$ and as u know thill is the cheapest out of TH, LS, SP. there are other tracks that can be had for $5k or less. just have to shop around. i'm hoping with the charity angle i can score some discounts from track rental. i just research more and it down and write a proposal. anyh000 gtg. need to tidy up few more things on FartMachine.

(please respond, so the chinese RACIST will see it)

No, you don't. My repeated offer to him was to do it in a test & tune day or a DE day, using the same car. Keeps costs VERY low, evens the playing field (both have to deal with traffic & passing rules), etc.

But the pink haired pole smoker IS TOO MUCH OF A COWARD TO FULFIL A CHALLENGE HE HIMSELF MADE.

He knows that I would clean his clock, and wipe the track with his fluorescent mullet.

Actually, Frank, Reno-Fernley is the cheapest track around at the moment. That will change as its popularity grows, though. VR had a very good suggestion -- just go to a test and tune day. You have to have a race-prepared car, though, so make sure you can pass tech and you're good to go. I don't recommend doing this at a DE though -- you might **** off the organizer or the flaggers if they consider you guys driving 'aggressively'.

As usual, and as I have said many times in the past, I'm in for whatever a responsible adult on this Forum sets up.

On the other hand, we all know that GhettoChicken**** couldn't organize his buddies into a Gay Pride Parade, so we will simply continue to laugh at his ridiculous posting!

This is from the post that started this thread:

The more you doe it, the dumber you will look when you don't show up for GCC07 once the logistics has been worked out. I'll have the last word. Hahaha.
Yet on May 27th Ghetto Capon had already worked most of the logistics out:

you pick a date. i'll check my schedule too.

$1195 a day. not bad. leave $805 for airfare/hotel/food. Challenge will be $1000/sec up to 3 sec. so $3000 max.

We both get our own cars. To be more fair, we can switch cars and do average of fastest lap time of both cars.
Of course Mark had put down money to accept ghetto's challenge, forcing ghetto to run and hide.

Amazing how abject terror can cause one to lose all short term memory!

(Frank may need to go to Wiki to find out that a Capon is a male chicken with no *****)

In a moment of clarity (after 6 am Bikram Yoga this morning) I have more ideas. It will be fantastic.

You **** can keep on talking. The more you doe it, the dumber you will look when you don't show up for GCC07 once the logistics has been worked out. I'll have the last word. Hahaha.

G-C has landed in the ocean of Reality, which is right here in the G-C Forum! He couldn't coexist in Reality, so he was locked up in his tiny cage.

No, but G-C is trying to turn it into a sea of **** so that he can relate to it!

keep the talk up. it's all good since the more yall talk the more reason yall better be @ GCC07. or else..... haha, you'll look stupid.
Sunday Driver is old and washed up, beating him won't prove anything.

Just name the time and place and amount and I will be there. Even though you have wavered on everything regarding this challenge, I am still here, still willing to put up the money to show you who is boss...

I think Glen has offered the use of his track membership and it would cost next to nothing for a mid week event.
So there goes another excuse...
