UTCiv

A gentleman by the name of Bill Rockhold was taking pics of heats 1 and 2. He was out there with me for the first 2 runs of the 2nd heat. He said he has 2800 of the 1st heat. Edit, what ^he said.

Howdy, one down, 2,575 to go! Pics are going up at http://gallery.ovr-scca.org/?Dir=%2FAutocross%2F2012%2FPE01+05-06-2012+Matt&Page= Critiques not welcome, you get what you pay for.

Sorry bout that. Bad connection.

I had what I would have believed to be my best run red flagged due to the MR2, das borgen was with me. Best run 43.9, best thrown away run was 43.5+1. I don't think I know anyone on here unless you were/are on COS or OBc. 1997 M3 White w/ Stickers 25 SMS I'll hopefully have my pictures of Heat 2 up sometime tonight or tomorrow on the OVR site. Working photog was a lot of fun. I took over 1000 pics of the heat and edited down to ~500 for OVR hosting. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you ran 2nd and want larger res or some of the slop.

I attended the University of Toledo in the Civil Engineering program. At the time, I also owned a 97 Civic EX getting a GSR swap and I joined honda-tech with that user name. I kept it ever since. I wasn't too creative and didn't think I would keep it past honda-tech, but I've never seen another UTCiv, likely for good reason. And thanks for the welcomes!

I've been a motorsports enthusiast for about 27 years now, which is as far as I remember. Moved from Toledo a few years back and now live in Canal Winchester. I currently have 2 Subarus, 2 BMWs, and 2 Kawasakis, of possibly interesting note to you guys: 1. 1998 Subaru Legacy GT (I gather from other Oven posts you guys love Subaru! :ninja:) It was once stock till the HG blew and I used it as an excuse to put in a low milage STi drivetrain. It was still supposed to be a DD. http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7347/dsc03227lm2.jpg Then it got full suspension, brakes, etc and became my AutoX/Track Day toy. http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7612/leg1pb3.jpg http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/4521/dsc0952wy9.jpg Then we moved down here in 2007 and I had to drop to 1 vehicle so it became a DD again for a few years, but now it really serves no purpose other than a spare vehicle, but I've got so much time invested in it, and it's so much fun to get stupid in, I'll likely keep it. 2. 1997 M3 I've had it for a year and am really only making driver satisfaction upgrades at this point. So far: 1. Misc. drivetrain upgrades that make me feel a bit better about running it hard when I do drive it. 2. Exhaust - This is my first I6 engine and I really enjoy the sound of it pulling through the gears. 3. Steering wheel and shifter upgrades - My main interface with the car besides the pedals. I've AutoX'd it, and will likely track it as well this year as a baseline for the performance and feel of a stock M3. At <60k easy miles, it still feels surprisingly very tight. http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/9650/20111016bmw4.jpg 3. 2003 Kawasaki ZX6R Track Bike I've ran it for the past 4 years, it's been down but it's a well put together bike that still runs great. I got it flat black and updated the paint to a retro-racing theme from an early 90's 250. Then I promptly put it down at Mid-Ohio and messed all the new paint up. http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1589/pnt1.jpg http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/543/kawasakibrochurezxr250b.gif http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/3664/pnt2.jpg http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/7/88648548.png I think I'm selling it this summer since I told my wife I'd stick to cars and karts once we had our first and now we do. Looking forward to seeing some of the cool projects others have worked on and meeting folks at the local events.
