A baker’s dozen, it seems.

There will always be a few that make drama. I’ve been involved with NASA-NE for over 15 years and the core people are my track family. Ownership has changed but but there is a core group that keep the feeling that you describe. We’re all out there to enjoy our day. Those that choose to create drama don’t normally stay…

I started watching this on vacation and your points are valid. While I may have talked some shit at say the kid that borrowed a car to run or the “entrepreneur” fool that used it as a platform to say “I banged more and hotter chicks than you” it does show the reality of car culture.

I originally wasn’t a fan of blind spot detectors until I just made the trip up from Florida. The mirrors in a Chevy SS are tiny.

Just came from Naples by way of Fort Lauderdale all the way up to NJ. I used cruise control in Virginia because I was afraid of public hanging for doing 5 over.

I just came from Florida and I’m pretty sure you can get plates for a hot wheels. Yes, the little ones that are 10 for $10 at walmart.

If it has current registration and insurance I think it’s bullshit that they can make you move it. So the tires are flat, maybe they have a slow leak and it’s not often driven.

You forget that there are cruisers with plate readers and “concerned” citizens that can call in cars that violate questionable zoning laws. I recently had to move my project RS off my land because it wasn’t registered or insured. I understand that it’s mainly to keep shitty lawn ornaments to a minimum but I live where…

At Robb’s skill level, there isn’t a question of what is more “fun”. I’d love to be able to have the skillset and funds to be able to say, what should I race today?

You are very correct. Want to race on the “cheap” in a full class, you have honda challenge or spec miata. I hope to see a spec 86 class in the future but for that to happen I think toyota and subaru need to get together and give more support.

Driving racecars is fucking expensive. There are no 2 ways about it. I am lucky enough to be involved with a team that can afford to do it every few years. I have to crew to earn seat time but when I do get to take it out it makes all the work well worth it.

Your fastest lap is normally your quietest lap. The one where you hit everything right and the tires aren’t talking to you. Lateral loads eat up tires as much as overpowering them. The best drivers are the ones that can manage their equipment and use it to the fullest when the need arises.

You speak with experience.

Racing is not cheap in the least and while the vette is very capable, it’s still a lot of fun to run something that isn’t looking to actively kill you if you make a mistake. There is a very good reason spec miata is so popular. A spec 86 class would be wonderful but I don’t see it happening anytime soon, if ever here…

I believe we ran an entire season on one, maybe 2 sets of tires in our PTD BRZ. We ran the maxxis RC-1's and they wear like nails. They don’t have the grip of some others but our driver overcame that and still did very well. We ran an assortment of suspensions on it and I believe the KW’s were the favorite.

We came up with pretty much the same results when we built a NASA PTD classed BRZ. We found a salvage FRS, slapped on the subaru front and rear (they were sponsoring us so it had to look the part) caged it, Tomei header, new airbox, an AOS, oil cooler, stoptech brakes, suspension and a few other bits and we had a…

I started with a 200x back in the day. The only way to make them turn was with the throttle. Slide the rear and hope you suddenly don’t get traction. That would complicate your day.

I would have love to watch it but xfinity said no playoff hockey for me last night.
