Three events in a row :D

Tomorrow is our chapter's last Autocross of the season. It's been a terrific first season for me, and the comradarie of the guys in my class has been great. Then I'm off for two days at NHIS (my second and third track days).

I've definitely been hooked, and it will be a looong offseason until next April. At least it will start off with a bang: two days of EVO schools on Easter weekend.

Hehe. I still want to see pictures when you put them on.

I actually may try out ice racing this winter. It's just way up in NH (3+ hours), so I'm not sure at this point. But there's a good chance the bug will get to me.

I'll take pictures!! the car is going to look sharp with those rims!!

I'll probably have to mount them in 2-3 weeks

that wheel pin from LeatherZ is going to come in very handy!!

I did some ice "racing" about 20 years ago. Well not really racing, but about 5 of use on a frozen lake with our motorcycles (modified knobbie tires)

We had a blast!!

No, really it was a lot of fun. We did it on enduros and dirt bikes. Once you got into 2nd or 3rd gear you would put both feet out to use them like outriggers.

Nothing high speed, just fooling around on the ice.
