OK, OK, after sitting around listening to Steve J (N24RE) talk about his ITR all weekend, and getting Karl to haul my Busted *** (TM) Hoosiers to Hubcap Heaven on Friday (listening to Honda-Tech talk most of the way), I figured I had better get over here and see what all the fuss is about. There are so damn many THSCCers here we might as well have a direct forward link from the webpage. Whitney? Shultz? Anyone? Beuller?

Now the post topic - For those of you who haven't heard the story, I picked up some used Hoosiers at the Grand-AM Cup race up at VIR 2 weeks ago and used them at VIR this past weekend (BMWCCA school on the North course). After literally gooing my way all around the track (many puns intended) all weekend, I have only two words: Hoosier Daddy!

My good GAWD what grip. Why didn't somebody tell me about this before? I managed to scare the daylights out of a certain VW driving instructor (Mark! Mark!!! let go of the door!!!!!). I'm afraid I can't ever go back now. Street tires don't even feel sticky enough for the street.

This is really going to get expensive, isn't it? (damn).

-Matt - now shopping for a tow vehicle....

Poor Matt has been bitten by the large, black, round crack rock. I feel for you man. In fact, I'm willing to help - let me drive the C5 at the next THSCC school/TT. It'll help you out. Seriously.

And I was serious about letting you run in ITS. Or maybe that should be "IT-Chit-Talk."

No replacement for displacement. Hrm. Talk to me after Viper Days about this little saying

--Rice, who says "Welcome Matt!" and apologizes in advance for the trash talking from the "inner circle..."

 

You honestly have no idea........

 

I was wondering who the first Honda guy to reply to this was going to be. I should have known.

Put your skill in my car and then talk to me about this saying.

As far as running in ITS, I don't think Cameron and Steve would be too happy about me showing up in ITS. Maybe we should start running a "Chit Talk" class. Every other class can run for trophies, Chit Talk can run for bragging rights.

-Matt (imitating Rice) thinking that when Rice actually drives the C5 he'll sell his Honda.

Oh No........Matt has made it to Honda-Tech.......we are in BIG trouble now

Matt is the only C5 owner I know that will give a slow ITR driver like me a pass just to make me feel better

Good to see you here....and I am going to find you a tow vehicle...just give me a few days.

Ciao'
