Racers/Drivers! Plans For Next Season.

[matthewAPM]

Hey guys keep the talk outta here.

Thanks

Drifting isn't racing but Im going to continue hitting everything local, increase regional attendance especially at competitions. Maybe cage it and get some power. Stock isnt cutting it anymore.

But its still motorsports and you are moving forward. Hope all goes well next season!

Now if you discuss the topic of the thread you get bitched at, just as if you were talking about ice cream in a fried chicken thread.

haterz GTFO StrAight Line>Curves any day! Me spoolin and b18c1turboed will talk about whatever we please!

BTW Danny did you get that GAY-E-M figured out yet?

[matthewAPM]

^talentless racing...

Anyways. Nick (318iser) and I are both building DSP BMW's for next season. He will be in a E30 325is (15x9 6UL with 275/35-15) and I will be in a E36 328is (18x10 CCW 285/30-18). Should be a good autocross season and good competition in the Atlanta Region...I hope.

Will also be at Redline Time Attack events if schedule allows. Stock RWD FTW!

Opinions are opinions...road racing > drag racing all day for me but I respect what drag racing is and the skill it takes to do it properly.

If you get the channel Versus RacerTV comes on around twice a week, they also do a special on Baja.

[matthewAPM]

Yeah that is the only channel that i know of that plays it. All they play is GNCC stuff if im correct.

You ride a Yamaha right?

Damn, I wish I had the time and money to get involved in autocross or road course racing. I truly have a passion for motor sports, but I'm really lacking the resources. I really wanna atleast get out and see some of you IA hoes in a race.

You can do autocross or track days if your car runs well and meets BASIC tech. You don't need a cage, no race license, not even race seats. Autocross is like $30 bucks and you can get your feet wet in a track day for $100 for 40 minutes on Road Atlanta, sounds like a short time but it's plenty for a beginner especially at that track.

[TheChosenOne]

Nice, i've thought about it before, but some advice that many people have given me and that I try to stick to is "Don't have your racecar be your only car". lol. Well, right now, my daily is my only car. Should I still give it a wack?

But anyway, back to the topic. How do you all feel about the competition in our region for your own respective classes?

Autocross you can run your car stock, track days you can run your car stock, no need to build a car if you're just starting out, a faster car won't make a new driver fast lol.

The competition in road racing is huge in this region, we have tons of tracks all of which IMO are big name tracks such as Road Atlanta, Daytona, Sebring, VIR, Barber, etc.

[matthewAPM]

Well to tell you the truth, as a SCCA instructor, I would NEVER send someone out to road atlanta without doing an autocross or two. Come do an Atlanta Region autocross. Its cheap, almost every class will have competition and for the most part its a great group of people.

Autocross is very cheap. $30 entry fee and your good to go. Nothing to really hit other than a cone. Once your ready to get onto a road course, go to little talladega. Most events are around $150 and you get about 2-3 hours of track time. The reason I say to not just jump into road atlanta is I have seen some very very nice cars get totaled on there first time out.

What all is done to your hatch?

[4uh8ers]

I am planning to hit all the atlanta region autocrosses this year and try to make it to some of the hpde's if funding is good. I will be doing it in my dd so i'm trying to get my foot in the door this season. Then when funding is good maybe pick up a e30 or something i start getting competetive in.
