What I've been doing...
Because I've had a lot of PMs/questions about how I'm dealing with the agony of not racing...
Now I just have to see if I can muster the courage to track her. I'll most likely see all the HC fools at Hyperfest. No, I won't be racing, unless someone falls ill at the track and I convince them to let me drive
I'll seriously never forget the good times, and trying times , that were had throughout my short racing life. It was fun, but I'm also having fun "growing up"

Re: What I've been doing... (slammed_93_hatch)
Nice car. Funny when you start talking about the courage to track the M3 I say it is "hard to put down that crack pipe isn't it?" Is it talking to you? Funny I went the other way. Sold my respectable tt supra 6 speed so I could track an 88 CRX. Must be my mid-life crisis talking. As long as you are having fun is what matters.

good looking car! I only drove one 2001 M3 for about 4 miles... thick steering wheel and the shifts were really long compared to my S2000..... Maybe you could loan me yours for a few laps.

big ditto on the above; miss racing wit u! and very nice looking car you got there, franza!
on a side note, i am going to a PCA event on may 21, 22 at pocono north (will be instructing there for the RTR PCA). i was planning on taking the Probenstien, but on of my pals has been boasting about how fast his new car is, blah blah blah.... (his new car is a E46 M3, bone stocker). of course, i shot back that my 4 door 4 cylinder commuter car would put the stomp down on his overpriced ****-mobile...
well, the trash talk went back and forth, and now i have to take my daily driver up there and put up or shut up... well, you guys know me well enough; i never shut up!!!
so, its "street tire shootout" on saturday for him and myself; his E46 M3 on oem tires & brakes, versus my (insert mystery 2003 japanese 4 cyl 4 door car with very light tuneup mods and oem tires/brakes).
i think his car is probably a bit more capable than mine; slightly..... he is a fairly good driver (he's an instructor, too), but he's not a racer. of course, we won't be "racing", but we will see who gets around the track fastest and who is leading at the end of the 20 minute session!
i better not break/crash my daily driver, or i'm gonna have to put insurance back on the Probenstien and drive it to work for a while! where's my earplugs???

Yeah, especially those of us who have had the experience of Todd *adjusting* his line down the front straight at Summit to try to keep my Prelude behind him during an HPDE. I'll never forget that one, I still remember coming through turn 10 with a run, and thinking to myself, "He isn't seriously going to run the inside line down the front straight to keep me from passing him during a school, is he? Yep, apparently so." LOL!
Matt
P.S. I passed him anyway.
