Default Argh....going thru "No Track Time" withdrawls....

Agitated state constantly....irritable...frequently found gazing off into space for considerable amounts of time...envious as crap when friends talk about recent track escapades...

Gotta sign up for something soon..or I am gonna burst. Ugh.

Default I know that feeling well. I skipped most of last year to save money for my wedding.

I did the following:
-winter driving school via ACNA at Tim O'Neal's rally school in NH
-HPDE in my A4 at Pocono S via Entropy Racing
-Rookie Driving Experience via Richard Petty at Nazareth
-an auto-x at the Mazda Rev It Up thing here in Philly.

that was it for '03.

Default that's partly why I love racing in enduros...

takes so long to recover from one...then prepare for the next...you don't notice the months between them.

My car is in pieces in the garage until our next race in October. It just isn't fun for me to spend 100 degree days at places like Willow Springs or Thunder Hill anymore so I'm determinatedly skipping the summer.

But I still havent recovered fully from the 3-hour and have a TON of work to do on the car...I have over 10 hours into cleaning the thing and I'm only about 70% done. Between the chain lube, chain oiler and general leakiness of the engine...it was an absolute mess.

Default We have two Dodge SRT-4s and one 944

Currently, the 944 is prepared to ITS specs and my dad drives it. One SRT-4 is set up for T2 racing with my brother driving it in regionals and I drive it at national events. The second SRT-4 runs in ITE (unlimited prep, IT safety specs, DOT tires) with me driving in regional races. Follow the link to our website for more info, pics, movies, blah blah blah!
