I don't think Erica is going to the school. I have brought it up twice, but don't want to pressure her into doing something she doesn't have time for. She still has her college class, as well as some difficult classes at work this year. And, we will be down there on Sunday doing the championship.
As for beating you, my new cat produces power and is lighter weight....of course I will win

no practice day this Nov. you would have to wait till Dec to try and get in on a practice day.
oh and if you were to want to race with us, then you would just sign up at the location.
IF you were a member of CSCC (paid your $30) you could sign up for races on the internet. but for non points card holder like yourself, you simply pay when you get there.

Sorry guys - as you can see, Keith has been busy with pictures and I didn't want to take the computer away from him ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
SO HERE IT IS - SNOWFL8K'S STORY:
"It was a dark and stormy night......." when snowfl8k came around a corner at a speed reasonable enough for your gradmothers cadillac. That's when she spotted it - gravel in the road. "i can make it" she thought to herself " there is a nice path right through dirt. If I can get it just right......". Just then a big scary ghost kicked up a swirl of the dirt with his enormous scorpian tail. It was too late - there was nothing she could do. As she hit the gravel and felt her back end lose traction she wished she had taken the time to check the tread on her feet. Her shoes were getting old and it was getting close to time for a change. That's ok, the traction control system would save her from this misfortune......Oh #$&! She struck the ridge of soft dirt with her left side. The momentum from the spin rocked her onto her side into the soft dirt that lovingly cushioned her from any further damage. "i hope everyone is getting a nice view up my drive shaft!" she blushed. Once the dust had settled she inspected her damage. Her nose was a bit bent out of shape. Nothing some tender loving care and fresh coat of paint can't handle. The left side of her skirt was a bit torn and battered. Her shoes were nice and scratched but a good polish could take care of that. All in all - not too bad. It definately could have been much worse. This will be a great story for the kids

find the section on the right on "how to get a Cal Club Card". I wouldn't do it now though, as the season only has two more events. Buy a card for next season. If you go to two events, you basically get your money back.
no Willow for me for awhile. I'll let you know when I am in the market for high rate speed.

he he he... thats so funny. I was expecting you to tell a boring normal story. and after you did, I was going to "re Vamp" your story..... but now I see I dont need to.
I tought you well! except the story should always include ".... so I was racing this ricy little honda" and "....... once I showed the Honda who is boss, all of the sudden........"
but you did pretty good.![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I didnt really get into detail on your car, but looks to me like there is nothing there that could not be fixed esely by a body shop. I bet M1 can have it done in just a couple days. I saw no reason why anything needed to be replaced. just fixed reattached, and painted. (and a little bending.)
the only concern of mine was the fender. it is clearly bent up a little. things like that are sometimes not fixable as the entire fender is bent. (even though you cant see a bend, you can see where it does not line up with the headlight and such.) something like that needs to be looked at closer. a body shop of course would be able to tell you much better then I could.

he can get it now. any new points cards as of last month are 2006/2007 cards. (it's a 2007 card and they are allowing you to use it this year also.)

Let Casey and I know if you need some help with number choices.
We were all going to try and get 800 numbers....
edit: Oh, and if you get points in either the November or December events, you'll be eligible for a 2006 RX8 CUP decal for the 2007 season.

Snow - I was 2 cars behind you. I do want to thank you. Until now I had never seen the underneath of an RX8 in such good lighting. The driveshaft looks cool. Seemed to move in slow motion while it happened. You should have heard the curse words in my car, and we were just watching it. And next time make sure you have a lid on your drink.
All jokes aside . . . It is good to see that you made it through okay. cars are just metal, glass and rubber in my mind. I am glad the important part of the vehicle ( you, the human inside) made it through to see another run.
BTW - What happened to the stability control on that one? Isn't this what it is supposed to prevent.

found these....
here is what my car looks like with just the carbon fiber graphics before the blue was added. also on this side (which was done first) you can see that I had the decal placed much higher in the front. after it was put on I changed my mind and decided I wanted to lower the front of it. so we took this one off, and moved it down. I think I have more pics of it just black at home.![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
just htought I would share.
