Greg, thanks for the info. although I heard NASA racers are not afraid to trade paint in racing situations, is it the same for SCCA?

Gary, I like the stickers on your car, does it make it go faster?

Rick, cool, I didn't know that

Bob, why do you have a fetish for VR? Whomever he or she is

Jack, I am sorry thought you picked up on the typical abbreviations on forums. "VR" = virgin rennlister.
Seeing that you were proficient with quotes I figured you knew.

I wouldn't say that. Contact in amateur racing is frowned upon at all levels. No doubt you'll have more contact at a Spec Miata (SCCA or NASA) tussle than in a Vintage Racing event, but I do not think NASA has (or wants) the reputation of allowing more contact.

What gave you the impression this was a BMW forum? Was it all the BMW sub-forums listed or the mass amount of BMW specific postings?
You should go troll at bimmerforums.com, that way you can look like an idiot in two places at the same time..

Gary that takes a "speshel" kind of idiot. I think we have us a stan-duhard idiot at hand. Where is the dull hamfisted troll spray? 1/2 a shot would be more than enough as this one has no game.

Bob at first I thought it meant Virtual Racer, probably a lot of them here

Greg, again, thanks, are you the only gentleman on this board?

Gary, I guess the BMW guys on this board don't count, right? Have you ever driven your car on track yet, or is it daddy's race car?

Kurt, re-read your post, look in the mirror and you will see the real idiot

Jacklee . . . you get more bees with honey than with vinegar. You have here before you hundreds of compiled years of racers and DE-goers, not to mention instructors. I am one of all of the above, for about ten years or so now. Why would you want to burn bridges like this? If you truly want advice, tone it down. If you continue to harass folks in this manor, you'll be taking a time out.

One thing I have learned over the years . . . when I first started driving / racing, I thought I knew everything and my mouth would go on and on. Now that I DO know SOMETHING, I tend not to speak as much. You'll get a whole lot more advice if you just sit back and let these kind people help you out in your motorsports career.

Jacklee,

I'm with you buddy. All these guys are just stalling because they don't want to give away any secrets, but I can tell you one person you really need to look up or PM (that's Private Message in Spanglish) because he has never lost a DE.

His name is A. Wayne. Do a search for him. He knows A LOT and is not afraid to share what he knows with everyone on Rennlist.

Good Luck Buddy! Via con Dios
