No one said it would be easy, did they? Keep working it. Maybe with time you could become "Scooter, the HWFMR Mascot"

Wow, tough crowd.![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
To answer a few questions: I haven't ever been on a track, so that part of it will have to wait until next year. Sadly (or thankfully, depending on how you look at it) there are no photographs of me on my Honda scooter. My wife tells me it was hilarious though.
If it means anything, I have no idea what 'trail braking' means and have only recently learned that an 'apex' is not the former lover of a primate. And I'm pretty sure 'heel-toe' refers to a dance they do in the southern part of NJ, where country music is more popular.

God listens to Billy Ray Cirus? OH man! I'm so close to braking out my Black Sabbath Albums and going to the dark side. Achy Brakey Heart for all eternity is definitely not my idea of heaven.

Only good if you go to the Dark Side of The Moon......................
There are exceptions in every type of music....BT doesn't listen to his Strawberry Alarm Clock stuff any longer either.

So will it help my chances if I promise to represent HWFMR at the new track at Millville, NJ and provide assistance whenever possible when it opens?
I'm only about 2 hours from there and hope to make it my 'home track'.

You from Joisey? I'm from Joisey! Exit 56
You people from South Joisey are hicks! Hell, the distance from Houston to Dallas is bigger than the whole damn state of New Jersey.
I grew up in Northern New Jersey, so I have a real identity crisis. I'm not good enough to be from NYC yet I get to play with their accent. Trust me, give yourself a raise and move out of that state.

I keep hearing how Texas is so big. You realize that if they cut Alaska in half, Texas would be the third biggest state, right?

I hear ya. Only thing is, they're finally putting a track up here, and I work in NYC, so I can only go so far.

OK, I've got a driving story, even though it didn't happen on a track.
I was seventeen, driving a Fiat 850 Sport Spider convertible to school on icy roads. I'm weaving back and forth around my friends because I've got a rear-engine car that I can control way better than their front engine behemoths (or so I thought).
I pass a guy on a straightaway doing about 35 mph while he's crawling, and continue straight when the road turns left. I slid sideways into a curb and the whole car hops up sideways. The car stalls and I can't get it started again while all my schoolmates are driving past and laughing (several of whom I had just passed).
Finally a friend stops and we lift the back of the car up over the edge of the curb and set it on the street (if you're not familiar with the Fiat 850, think Alfa Romeo without the class or working electrics. Two people can lift one axle.)
I heard about that maneuver until spring time.
