hey guys/gals
im new here, been lurking for a while and finally joined, wanted to introduce myself My names Phil, and i have usually hang around on TGO, so i know a handful of you guys form there. Love my 3rd gens. So, i have an 86 trans am, its pretty much a protouring car at this point, probably going to stay that way and eventually begin my racecar build on my recently acquired 92 firebird. 86 (IMG:http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/Phil_9111/PIC00018-2.jpg) 92, 3.1 auto, slooooooooow (IMG:http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s209/Phil_9111/PIC00025-4.jpg) the 92 will be the racecar in the future, im just starting my plans for it and still have a lot of things to figure out with the direction i want to take it. Most of these plans require piles money, and thats a little tight right now since im looking to buy a house soon. So far i've only dealt with the issue of the horrible steel wheels that came with it, picked up a set of black crosslaces which will go on this spring once refinish them a bit. so thats the basics, hopefully i can learn a lot from you guys -Phil |

I couldn't come up with the name. I worked with a guy at Jegs who had one that color. It was a Formula (as I remember).

QUOTE (raybob9289 @ Feb 13 2010, 10:59 AM) Welcome Dude, The Yellow Chicken is gonna be a CMC car? probably not, not totally sure exactly what im building it for yet, have to see what i can do to the car before finalizing anything. Im from the central NJ area, and unfortunately there is not a lot of autox events really close, closest that i know of is the scca road course at englishtown, then some autox in NY. Again, i need to look into this more, though i don't really know where to start, maybe you guys can help (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . what i want to do to the car involves little of the factory setup, so im sure that places out of most classes. |

Phil, try www.autoX4u.com
Personally I don't like the road course at Englishtown, it is a love it or hate it deal. Another point is that all the roadcourse dates bring out the new guys with their rice who like to curse at the tech workers! The parking lot side is a traditional autocross lot which I prefer and they put on a good event. |

And its funny to read all the fighting That's the problem though, there seems to be so many fights now days. Most of the threads with some good tech turn into a pissing match between a couple people and then the whole thing gets locked. Lately I've only been using the site for the classifieds section. Either way, I'm eager to see what you do with the new car. |
