PeteK posted this link for last month's event, it's a really good guide to performance driving, I recommend everyone read it. I know I've reviewed it each time I go to the track and always find some nugget that helps me..........it's a PDF so make sure you have the latest free version of Adobe on yo...

Most of the people who drive in closed cars like the MINI prefer an open faced helmet, but mine is very similar to yours and I don't find it to be a problem. PeteK also wears one and he takes his face shield completely off, I'll do the same next time. It either unclips or unscrews at the corners, so...

For those who would like to see what it's like to do this in anger, watch these Corvettes at a T1 race at HPT..............fun, but OMG scary too! The Real Deal! Compare this with our rather tame tour and you can see why we say ours is just for fun, these guys mean business! Watch the first couple o...

I've run twice now at Heartland, but I had previous SCCA experience......as much as anything, I just wanted to stay with the group the first couple of times, but now that we have a large enough group, we'll probably have a significant number of MINIs in both the Novice and Intermediate groups. If an...

I used to get a laugh or too reading some of the names................good riddance tho.

Think you could help me figure out how to stop getting the 50 -100 spam emails I get every day at work?

Probably...........during the rest of the season if you can't make a session for any reason they will automatically move your reservation to the next session as long as you give them at least 24 hrs notice. Since this is the last one for the year, I'd expect they'd either refund, or apply it to next...

Make it so................ :lol:

That will get rid of about 150 accts, maybe you should consider removing any account with no posts in the last 3 years?

As an aside, is there a way to send a PM to more than one person at a time?

That's part of the problem with uploading these to Google video, they compress the hell out of them and you lose all the detail. The second one might be worse, since it was a lot darker out with the rain approaching. What happened to the sound? I admit it wasn't the best with the mount rattling and ...
