A big thanks to SuperVixen for the invite she sent me on Myspace (SPLTIME).

Good luck and all the best.

Glad you made it. Hope you have fun here. Raining in San Francisco. I wish I was in Florida too. Tampa to be specific. ;)

I don't know if its cos I'm English, but theres nothing more satisfying to me than the rain drops hitting my window and the wind howling, so calming :)

I got the spyder to specifically not enjoy any rain drops and howling wind. :)

Different strokes for different folks. I'd rather be driving on dry asphalt.

I think these guys would tend to agree with you. :ohmy:

They must have found enough parts on the track the next day to put together another racecar. :151:

I've always kind of wondered what the motivation is for pro-level racing outside of nascar and Forumula 1; it seems like it is a money pit taken to a whole new level since I can't imagine there's enough money in sponsorship to touch the costs of being a competitive race team at the lower levels, or is there?

Not that racing itself isn't incredibly fun, I'm working on getting a track-only car now and I'm going to spend a lot of money on it, but that's because I'm going to be driving it too. What would not be fun is dumping many hundred grand per season into someone else driving an expensive car around the track for me with just Joe's Bait Shop and the like paying maybe a couple grand to sponsor? I don't think you'd get more money then that because anything below the top echelon of race divisions wouldn't have the viewership to justify high dollar sponsors right?
