Default Anybody getting their racing buddy a gift for christmass?

Im getting mine a Hans. I guess its more a bribe to get him full bore into the racing thing. Need him in head first. So to speak

What other racing gifts are you guys doing this year?

hey, 650 for a friend is nothing...I guess Im alone in this. My friends are family. I will have to draw the line at cup cars though.. we do have a pact though if any one of us win the lottery we will al retire and buy stackers and hit the road for every club race...

My buddy is getting a bag of coffee. Hey, it's high test.
It's "Havana Blend" Montecristo coffee from JRCigars.
Cost me $10.50. I did consider getting him two but I have to pay shipping too.

http://www.jrcigars.com/index.cfm?pa...ee_montecristo

I have to say, it is a great coffee so if you want to save over $600 on your gift and can't go with a Han's, this stuff is excellent. While you are on the site a five pack of these http://www.jrcigars.com/index.cfm?pa...CLUB%20CABINET tremendous cigars won't break the bank either.

Screw that. Build your own track. Make your own rules.

Probably so. I'm doing good to afford my own gear.

Ah, we should all be so lucky to have such buddies!

I know I'm getting my racing buddy something for Xmas, but doubt it's going to be racing stuff; since we didn't do much for our wedding anniversary this year, I'm probably gonna have to come up with something shiny and sparkly!

A chromed crescent wrench? What is Munk's? I have never heard of it. Is it a tool brand or a garage?

I'm buying my buddy a set of coilovers for Christmas. He's kind of on a huge budget with his kid and is driving on some tired *** suspension. I also get to drive the car so it helps a little.

I've been getting gifts from RL racing buddies all year long...

Loaner spare trailer tire for the trip home - from Toby
Fantastic photos - from RSKY BIZ
Lessons in Fatherhood - from TR6
Experiencing the BEST DE program around, rain or shine - from rwjackson
Time - from VR (a second here, a second there...)
The opportunity to do "stupid stuff" with professional racers - from Glen
Data analysis services - from himself
Directions to find my way "home" - from 951and944S and 87_944s
Friendship (while still being able to teach, and learn; push, and be pushed) - from mglobe
Inspiration to meet any challenge that life throws at you - from deep_uv
Thanks, guys! (I must have been a very good boy this year!)

In term of gifts people will remember, it's not what you buy, it's what you do... These guys don't care about material gifts. Right?

Right?

Right!!!???

Ahhh, crap. I'm in trouble....
