Just though I'd acknowledge viewing Keith O.s' car in this issue of Grassroots Motorsports.
Thats got to be cool when you get to see your own car in a magazine.
Yes, I was very pleased and surprised because I didn't expect it... To be honest - I expected to see it in there last year.
A guy that used to autocross and lap with us locally had a black Type-R Integra and I had a black LS1 Z28. We switched cars on occasion for autocross fun runs and had some real fun on lapping days since our lap times were fairly similar (he'd kill me in the turns and I'd hammer him on the straights
). We had a running joke (remember both cars were "Zaino black", too) that if I would just put Type-R stickers on the Z, I'd be able to run away from him on the track.
Fastfoward to two years ago. That Type-R owner got a job as a journalist for GRM. When I bought my race car, I sent him pictures of the car (complete with Type-R stickers) and he loved it. He mailed me some GRM stickers and I put them on the car. I guess he cruised the event website from the Mid Ohio race in April (the snow event) and put it in the magazine. I still haven't contacted him but I guess I should.
