I know it's a CG DB9, but it still pains me to see the car destroyed that way, and so many times. I cried in Casino Royale when Bond's DB-S was destroyed :cry: Did they have to include the fake driver in some of the crash scenes. The one with the roof being ripped off and the way the driver just sor...

I was looking at the Road One auction site, and I think I found an idea :ibrightdea: for a great "theme" type car. Ian stated that to get in to the event, we really need to have a gimmick or some type of edge that makes us stand out. In the auction photos I saw a 1979 Black Pontiac Trans A...

I don't want to pull the rotary card here but I think an FC would be something to consider for the race. I know many people with over 300k on their N/A FC's stock engine. I almost got a pretty nice one last year with low mileage for around a gand. $500 for one would not be unbelievable. The big dow...

Sharks and Alligators are scary though. They can eat me, my spiders can't come close to that! At least with sharks and alligators you can flip them on their backsides (or upside down with the shark) and it will put them to "sleep". They both have problems with blood flow to their brains w...

Jamie can't help it ...(She's got nerves of steel however ... check out her Avatar. She raises Tarantulas for tire money! :mrt: I can handle snakes, I've accidently stepped on an alligator before (grew up in rural Florida), I've been bumped in the leg by a shark while surfing in Cocoa Beach, FL (if...

My understanding is that even if they let you in with a car they know is worth more than $500, there are opportunities for your fellow racers to vote your car into oblivion. I think I'd stick with a known POS and fixing it up as well as possible instead of trying to get cute. Unless we get someone'...

Jamie, I agree about the police and DEA auctions, but I worry that even if you paid under $500 for a nice car that would easily be worth more based on Kelly Blue Book value the race organizers might invoke the BSF rule (Bullshit Factor) for the intrinsic value of the car. I'll have to disect the rul...

Kathy, I've always bought Dells since my first Windows based PC in 1994. My wife and I both have the Dell XPS Dimension laptops that we bought in 2005, and they are still going strong. Plus, Dell has an excellent warranty service that is a little expensive, but worth every penny. If there is a probl...

I watched that race last night. That track is so amazing! It's like driving on artwork instead of a racetrack.

Found these Bimmers on Craigslist. Just wanted to get an idea of what is out there. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/1135456581.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ('86 325es $500) http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/ctd/1112326464.html" onclick="window.open(...

Ramy, I might be interested. I have been looking around for a cheaper Miata so I could set it up for Spec Miata Racing. I'll wait for the pictures to be posted, and then I can talk to you about taking a look at it when possible.

WHERE?!?! Jamie, if you get GRM the ad is on page 96. If you don't, the places listed are as follows: http://www.aimtire.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.frisbyracetire.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.sierratire.net/&qu...

Mako, I read your posts from the BLEW site. I know where we can get some things for cheap. I have a 6 point harness already. In this month's issue of GRM, Hankook has an ad with Ventus F200 slicks on closeout for $85, and Ventus Z214 Slicks also on closeout for $85. If we did the Thunderhill race, w...

I would like to put together a team for the 24 Hours of LeMons Race for either the August 15-16 race at Buttonwillow (which sounds like it will be very HOT) or the Nov 21-22 race at Thunderhill in Willows. If you are not familiar with the event, it's an endurance race for cars costing $500 or less. ...
