rangers are MUCH cheaper than tacos, but they are ford afterall. and i may get flamed for this, but older ford trucks are garbage. especially rangers from what ive seen.

toyotas just hold their value really well. i would never find a tacoma for $4000 unless it wasn't running. I guess I am just SOL then

Even if I can get it for under $6000? Reading reviews I hear that the yotas run forever and can go for well over 250k miles, some even 300k

am I asking for trouble buying a truck with that many miles?

guys, i found this truck decently close to me. it's listed above KBB value so i know i can talk him down. i figure i can use the few dents i can see as well as the fact that it has no 2' reciever to my advantage to get the price even lower. http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&csDlId=&csDgId=&listingId=87077395&listingRecNum=5&criteria=prMx%3D10000%26sf1Dir%3DDESC%26prMn%3D0%26mkId%3D20088%26stkTyp%3DU%26mdId%3D22250%26rd%3D100%26crSrtFlds%3DstkTypId-feedSegId-mkId-mdId-pseudoPrice%26zc%3D44333%26rn%3D0%26PMmt%3D1-1-0%26stkTypId%3D28881%26sf2Dir%3DASC%26sf1Nm%3Dprice%26sf2Nm%3Dmiles%26isDealerGrouping%3Dfalse%26rpp%3D50%26feedSegId%3D28705&aff=national&listType=1

what kind of times are we talking for a team member?

looking around for the last few days leaves me to believe a ford ranger might be my best bet. small, decent mpg, and has plenty of towing capacity for my trailer. plus it has a bed so i can put my generator and all the gear back there easily.

now that we have 3 weeks of nothing, i am sad.

wut.

So you're okay then? no injuries? I talked to you at beaver last weekend about your wrist injury last year and how bad that was. i felt really bad that you got hurt again (if you did get hurt). either way, glad you're ok. and i do feel bad for the kid. his leg looked pretty bad

i feel like a truck that big would be overkill and cost me more in gas than something like a toyota tacoma, etc.

Im only a college student so im looking for something older and cheaper. Under $5000 max for sure. How do Cherokees tow?

I am looking at buying a used vehicle to tow my trailer for trackday and races. It is a 5x9 tractor supply co trailer that hauls two bikes. Total weight with genny is about 1600lbs. Anyone have any advice for a vehicle that wont break ny bank with gas usage when im not towing and can handle my tow load without struggling?

Was that you that got hot the hardest and got taken away in the ambulance with the little kid?

but man it would have been glorious to see rossi win the world championship on every major factory team.

really? so you want the rider to be killed? they get caught eventually, they always do.

he also has little to no competition. he is just that good that he "beat" the premier class of motorcycle racing.

thanks fellas. ill just do the race school saturday and see how i feel if i want to race or not and talk to todd accordingly at the end of the day and get it figured out.

alright got it. now the race school is $195. is that nothe total cost? you said something about a license cost?

I am thinking of signing up for the races sunday and have a few questions... i already signed up for the trackday saturday and i remember hearing that i can get a discount for signing up for the trackday saturday and the races sunday? i am taking the race school saturday so maybe i should just sign up at the track with todd and work out the discount? how much of a discount is it anyway?

i was planning on using my genny to charge my phone... is that a bad idea then? will it damage it?

I got the Qstarz Bt-q818x as recommended on the Track Master forums

Do you use the internal phone GPS or an external GPS?

Well I just ordered a bluetooth GPS receiver so we will see how that goes. The app is actually MUCH more awesome than I thought. With a solid GPS signal, it will show you your lines via google maps and it will tell you where you brake and accelerate as well as tell you your speed through each corner/section of track for each lap!
