So 2005 was a racing bust for me. Between work and family I was not able to pursue sport driving this year to any great extent, though I enjoyed the couple of events I was able to run. My stalled engine project (semi fancy 2.1 4cyl) may now proceed due to a recent development (new cash transfusion).
I am really looking forward to 2006. I plan to get my license this year and wrack up some serious track time. Left up to me, I would run some AX, TT, DE and trackday stuff in many of the killer venues norcal has to offer. Man are we here lucky! So this post is my 914 resolution to drive the shit out of my car next year. I am sure that I will disrupt many other people's lines, in fact I am counting on it. My goal is to develop the basic skills and knowledge to race safely and yet still manufacture excessive endorphins. Look the fuck out for me! |

I've been in the same boat (either no time, or no money, or both, at any given point in time) for 2+ years now and unfortunately I don't see the situation changing for me all that much in '06. But here's to dreamin' (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

I also want to drive my car more this year (almost said next year). I won't have to drive the shit out of it, it will fall out all by itself. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) good luck this year. |
