See, that was easy.......

I would think I would be a group 2 driver......
Check out the T-shirt Thread too please. I'm placing orders this week. I'm sure you want in.

WRX boy will be on the track for the first time too. He's autocrossed, but nothing like this. Once he's deflowered, he'll then be call "WRX Man!"

well then,
Group 1:
silverEIGHT
WRX boy
Pam
Group 2:
L8APEX
valpac
Phlash
Group 3:
TrackAddict
AC8?
Lego

I don't know Mister Wilson, so I have no idea what his skill or experience level is. I tried to group it based on what I know about each person's driving. Lego and Phlash were interchangeable, and can go where they want. This was just a suggestion.

Comments?

I can't wait for this, more delayed gratification...

That looks good to me. I'll be happy in either group since I'm going to have a **** eating grin the whole time I'm there anyway!

yep, nice sound. should be coming from an 8 though. Maybe someday we'll have a SC to play with.

BTW, just ordered a DVD of TGPR from Tracktapes.com. Reasonable ($20) and the guy said he has like 4 hours of laps on it. Gotta see those apexes dontcha know.

HaHA, I'm gonna be "deflowered"....

Thanks for letting a non-member, non RX-8 driver come and play with you guys. Go easy on me.

Can't wait!

Let me know if Mr. Wilson cannot make it.

WRX boy, no worries, we are ALL there when the de-virgining took place, however, I was merely 9 when it happened for me. I have 'officially' been tracking now is some fashion for 'right at' 20 years. (This includes my 3 years off for college when I didn't take a ride in nascar).

As for the nonRX8 things, these guys are great about that. Trust me, an Evo owner at most track events, is like a AIDS infected, ferious tiger. No one will get within 20 feet of you. However, these guys didn't let that get to them, I have made some GREAT friends in this club, despite the car I currently own.


Man, AM I THAT OLD? TrackAddict, can you tell, when you ride with me, that I have been doing this that long?

WRX Boy - welcome to the group.

STF - 20 years of driving huh? Had me fooled. You take turns too fast, drive too close to the walls, and keep your car sideways. I think you should practice more.
