Ever since I got off the track at the wcc 05, I've wanted to run at the track again...

I know theres a lot of events around... but, I just LOVED racing other 914's! (cept mark... he was slow, and I didnt wana pass him (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) jk mark)

Theres a few tracks local that I would drive to for just the racing event... buttonwillow, thunderhill, laguna, infineon (actually, the last two kinda scare me with the walls..)..

But I think it would be great to get the racers out again and have another go..

I was dreaming about the 06 wcc, and even got wide eyed when I saw the birds eye of the track, but when I was told that all we were going to do was an autox, I got depressed... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad2.gif)

I'd love to see an event were we get all the major players out and have a blast! Run like a 10 event weekend..

Autox,
Skidpad,
burnout contest
Drag
track day
show
brake contest
obstical course (I dono...)
ect
ect

Have trophies, for individual categories, top 3, most spins, best line, most improved, ect...

I'd like to personally race, and see the big dogs race each other... (big dogs I mean, JP, Drew, Andrew, Trekkor, Andy, Joe RS, Felix's, Fiids, Aarons, mine, ect.. ect.. I cant name everyone... lol)

I wana see the big 4's against the small turbo 4's, against the stock cars, against the big and small six's, the subi conversions, the v8's, the v6's, the rotary's, heck Even the electrics out there!

I wana know who's got the best, who drives the best, and who smack talks the best!!

If anyone else has the same feelings... Post it here.

I think our cars are ment to be driven.. This would be one darn good test!!

Andrew
