Well I think the time has come.
As my son gets older things will get more and more expensive. I need to plan for my families future and that's not being done sufficently now. Another reason is that I've lost alot of the fun factor. I really want to do this to WIN. Which is bad as it has made most events a business only type attitude, thing. I have fished since I was 10. And basically stopped completely years ago. It's a bug I can't shake. No matter how hard I try. This will be my new hobby. FWIW if you act NOW the car will be for sale CHEAP. Or maybe it would be better to part the car out? |

QUOTE (sgarnett @ Jan 24 2006, 06:34) If I was starting fresh today I'd build the car for STU. Yeah, some of the on-course race tire thrill would be gone, but simple "arrive and drive" would be much more "family friendly" and therefore more fun for us family guys. No, this isn't as off-topic as it might seem (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Lonnie, have you thought about trading the ESP car for something more fun (overall, if not on course exactly) and less hassle, such as an STU car? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (I drove an STU car last year a couple of events) Personally I find that the easiest class to live with in autocross is stock, especially when it involves a hatchback or similar small car with small tires. Everything fits in it easily and you can quickly swap when you get there. Or run on victoracers and just drive to the event on them. Come Monday morning you have something quiet and comfortable to drive to and from work, that probably gets stellar mileage too. My personal choice for a car like that right now would be a new Sentra SE-R spec V. They just got re-classed to GS where I think they'll be even more competitive. Carmax around here is selling them for ~ $16K spankin' new. Something tells me Lonnie just wants to fish (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/whip.gif) , but is gonna keep his car. |
