I guess this is not the right time to tell you guys that it was 75 degrees here in New Orleans today. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

No withdrawal here. pavement is still free of snow and the Metro trailbrakes good (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
The one rough winter I had was when my car was an auto...but at least it was RWD & V8. |

Is it going to be a long winter? My new parts arrived on the Tuesday morning following the last possible testing day. If they had arrived by Friday, I was planning to take the day off from work just to make damn sure it was ready by Sunday. Does that answer your question (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rant.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) ??? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
I was told up front that they probably wouldn't be ready in time - no complaint against the vendor is intended, but I was really hoping our "tentative" last event would get rescheduled later in the month. Nope, right on time (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Aaarggh! Is it March yet? Is it March yet? Is it March yet? Is it March yet? |

... with the upgrades I have planned for the car, the 'Honey-Do' list to work on and work, it won't be that long between Nov and Feb.
Besides I have plenty of on track, in car video I can watch, both of my car and the SWC-GT series, if I find I can't sleep. |

Unfortunately we do have a little winter here, but only about 2 months worth.
It gives the wallet time to reload a little anyway. |

I hate being away from the track but with the list of modifications and things I'm doing to the car, I'll be lucky if I get it all done by March. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

On the way home yesterday I was driving my 4x4 pickup pretty hard around some turns and doing some trail braking and thinking about lines....and it struck me... the good thing about having winter off.
It keeps me from burning out and by the time march rolls around I'm invigorated again. :drive: (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif) It also let's me do mods without worrying about getting the car ready for the next autocross. |

Roads are still clean in Toronto although not for long I should think. My car hasn't been out since the last track event in October - I don't really enjoy driving it on the roads around here - not much point really.
When I start to suffer from winter withdrawl I find it helps to put a pot of Castrol R on the stove and let it heat up real good - sort of brings it all back..lol. |

I'm glad I live in the (relative) south. We usually only have maybe 5-10 days of snow a year, so I can drive the car pretty much year round. Plus our first track day is usually in Feb.
