AJ, Great News!!! Good to hear. Mike

Kind of a hi-jack of this thread... I never realized how many photos I took ended up here - or how many had cone killers in them. Mike

Lets hope for good news at 2pm then.

AJ, I hope things work out for the best! Mike

Actually, I don't worry about how many cones I hit. If I make it thru a run without honking the horn or turning on the wipers ... it's a good run. Mike p.s. seriously, everybody hits cones at one time or another.

Another point that should not be overlooked is how difficult it is to get a good sized lot to run on. Not everybody that manages a parking lot will listen to your request to use their lot. Both BMC and OVR SCCA have those contacts already and they have the insurance contacts too. Of the two organizations, I would rather work with the SCCA because they tend to have bigger lots available to them. Miatas seem to handle the smaller lots better than my fat car. Mike

When MrAutoX checks in he may have contact info for the Ohio Valley Region SCCA autocross chair (Andy). They have helped other groups run events before by bringing timing lights, cones and workers. Mike

As I understand it, that is a result of you guys changing your state governor. Mike

ASP and SM

Really nice looking Vette. Great photography, sometimes clouds work nice to soften the light. Mike

I've never tried to understand classing ... but there is a LS1 motored ride in XP. Mike

I wonder how this could work since the cameras use IR light to photograph the license plate and eliminate shadows? Mike

AJ, You're going to have fun with that combo this year! I like the graph. Mike

Hey Ashley. That V looks good "waking the dead" at the cemetery in the background ... one of the last races we'll have at Cooper I suppose. Mike

I agree, think autocross not road course and have a blast. Mike

I love that '64 Malibu. I have a 64 Cutlass from California badged as a 442 taking up valuable space in my garage. It started out to be a street cruiser, but when I got married it turned into just a disassembled roller. I think it'll eventually become a road course car - who knows. Mike

AJ, Seems like we've know each other for years .. oh wait we have .. a couple anyway. See you at the auto-x soon. Mike

Brian, I've seen your "Not Brian" name here but I didn't make the connection. Cool to see you in a rear wheel drive GM after all those years with that very hot Civic. Mike p.s. I remember hearing about columbusracing from you those many years ago. I should have joined here then.

I may have seen a Red SS with Black just off Sancus. I used to have a Black '99 SS (looks like there is one in SinisterSS' signature). What a great car! I really miss that one. Mike

Looks like the perfect way to relax at the end of a day. Mike

Well I call it Worthington because it's Worthington schools. It's really a Westerville mailing address and mostly Columbus taxes so it's kind of no-man's land. Short answer: Near Polaris. By the way thanks to all the people who have been giving +'s. Mike

Rich, Thanks, looks like there are a lot of people I will recognize here ... and many more that I don't with cool rides and hobbies. Mike

Ben, Yes, it already seems like a good forum with a lot of input of all types. I should have tried to join sooner. Mike p.s. I could tell it was you, I recognized the photo of your ride!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I do like horsepower and while there are many ways to enjoy a car, seeing what you can do with it as a machine is the most fun for me. Oh, as far as the original ZR1 comments, I appreciate the thought and support you posted. The ZR1 is an amazing car with improved handling (mainly shocks) over every other Corvette and in the right hands is a thing of beauty to see. I am very happy with my N/A engine but when you see a ZR1 making very angry noises it does make a believer out of you. What a collection of great automobiles you guys have in your photos above - way cool! Mike

I also have a GTO as a more "Daily" driver. Also very stock. http://i398.photobucket.com/albums/pp66/ReddyZ06/91c32012.jpg Mike
