What 3 events would you like to participate in before you die and what 3 would you like to attend?

For me, top 3 in which I would like to participate (in no particular order):
1- 24 hours Nurgurgring
2- Targa Newfoundland
3- 25 hours of Thunderhill (with my own car)

To spectate (I've already been to Le Mans, which was my #1)
1- Goodwood Festival of Speed (my buddy went in '04 and apparently it is as awesome as it seems on TV).
2- Monaco GP (and all the support events)
3- Macau GP and Touring races (just seems like a cool event and a cool island).

 

I have 4:
1) Any race at Spa
2) Any race at Suzuka
3) Drive a WRC (or production/group N turbo rally car) in a rally
4) Race my H3 car on a street circuit

Watch:
1: Manaco F1 GP
2: Italian MotoGP

That is pretty much it. Not really into watching as much as doing.

 

Keeping this realistic and in order of likelyhood:

1) 12 Hours at the Point (either this year or next)
2) 25 Hours of Thunderhill (sometime in the next few years)
3) Rolex 24 which has been a dream of mine for years (shooting for 06)

Spectating:

1) LeMans
2) F1 race at Monza (hopefully before spoonface retires)
3) World Rally events (either Monte Carlo or Sweden)


Regards,

Jon

 

Before I die?

the Tau Ceti Grand Prix
The Rally de Black Hole

 

Participate:

1) 24 Hours of Daytona
2) 24 Hours OF Nurburgring
3) Le Mans (never gonna happen, but I can dream!)

Watch

1) An F1 race in Europe.
2) Le Mans
3) A WRC race would be cool I guess, maybe combine it with a camping trip in the mountains somewhere.

 

In ascending order of realism and actual liklihood...

Participate:

All this racing stuff.

- The Menage a Trois (Du-uh)

- View? Phuk Viewing!

Scott, who is just kidding about the Menage, and would probably be in trouble at home for mentioning it beyond the Seinfeldian context...ie: "Nah, not for me, I can't see myself in robes and lotions"...

 

I'll try to be realistic...

Participate:

Any race, any car at:

1. Tremblant
2. Mosport
3. Road Atlanta

Watch:
1. Isle of Man TT
2. F1 at Monza

Funny you should mention that.

There's a deal whereby you can ship your motorcycle over to the Isle of Man and ride the course sometime during whatever you call it.

Some of my club buddies have started talking about it.

That would be one to both participate and view - cause there's no way in hell I'd "race" that course!

Scott, who thinks "realistic" is "relative"...realistic is not what got me where I am today...

 

To do:

1: la carrera panamericana
2: Monaco Historique Grand Prix
3: 24 Hrs at the Nurburgring

Done:

12 hrs at the point.
Monterey Historics
Rolex Vintage Championship

 

This thread is "worthless" without the ability to travel in time!

- Targo Florio 1932
- Mille Miglia 1948
- Grosser Preis von Deutschland 1935

Scott, who only seems to have unrealistic fantasies...

 

Participate:
-24hrs Le Mans in a GT2 Viper (less realistic)
-Runoffs in a Radical SRF3 Turbo (more realistic)
-Brunette and a blonde (not taking that back) Edit: not guys

Watch:
-F1 at Monza
-F1 at Mid-Ohio (never happen but I like the track)
-Isle of Mann TT (to give high-fives to Superbike racers at 160mph)

 

Participate:

24h Daytona
Champ Cars at Cleveland
F1 Spa

I try to be realistic

Watch:

After doing those three, who cares about spectating!?

1.) An endurance race @ Laguna Seca

2.) Complete the Rally @ Catalunya

3.) 24Hrs @ Zey Nurburgring

 

Events to do:
- Play regular on the Senior PGA Tour one day
- Blonde, Brunette, & Redhead at the same time

Events to watch:

John -- who says, it ain't always about the kaa

 

Radicals? Ugh! If I had a choice as to which DSR at the Runoffs I would run, it would be the Maloy chassis. FAR superior to the Radical, and yes, the Stohr. The reason it didn't have the straight line speed was the double-deck rear wing, which I am told will be removed by the new owner.

http://www.maloyracing.com

participate (in time order)
1. runoffs
2. speed wc at MO
3. lemans

watch live
1. monaco f1
2. spa f1
3. corsica wrc

 

Since I have given myself permission to dream....

Participate:
1- JGTC- Suzuka
2- BTCC- Silverstone
3- WRC- Someplace with trees, dirt, and cliffs and stuff...

To spectate:
1- F1- Monaco (view from my OWN yacht in the dock, after the tunnel- YiPEs!!!)
2- Trailer races- demolition derby.
3- Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, Nude and Jellied Bombshell Bonanza R!!!

 

There is no real event I can see myself participating in for the near future, so I will just say a few I would like to see:

Isle of Man TT(wanted to since the first 5 minutes of it I saw on TV)
Any F1 race
Any WRC Rally
Any MotoGP race
Pike's Peak Hill Climb
LeMans

 

Bathurst 24 hours
Tour de Corse Rally
Pikes Peak
Targa Tasmania

All except the Peak would be in the rain.

Done it, so in that spirit I'll keep mine realistic.

Want to race:
- Anything at Spa
- Anything at the Ring (the real one)
- A seat in a *good* SWC Touring car at Road Atlanta

Want to see:
Nothing really. I actually tend to get bored watching racing for much longer than about an hour.

I knew I liked you for some reason.

I'm a just mellow married guy now, so those opportunities have all come and went.

Nah, she'll likely get bored in a few years and be willing to "experiment".
There's always hope, although if you missed the chance in college your chances are now greatly diminished.

Scott, who says "Follow your dreams... BEEFCAKE!!!"

Scott,

you're my hero. Care to elaborate how do you convince them? :D

 

I want to drive closed course in a fast car (there are so many) preferably in a 24hr event at the following:
Lemans
Spa in Belgium
The Ring

All bad *** road courses.
