Driving Discussion / Plans for 2015

« on: January 03, 2015, 11:43:05 AM »

My plans so far:

S2000 (AP1) in BS
Use up current ZII rubber and replace with ZII Star Specs
Try at least one Pro-Solo (probably Packwood)
Attend at least one event in Montana
Canadian Nationals (Fort Macleod)
U.S. Nationals (Lincoln) (Jo and I already have seats reserved)

Test drive a Fiesta ST (and race one if someone is willing).  If we like it (and fit in the seats), we might buy one and compete in HS for something different.

Waiting for the new Miata to arrive; looks like it might be a good replacement for our S2000 when it finally wears out.  Jo and I *like* convertibles

Member Introductions / Murray -- Intro

I have been racing for about 8 years now.  I was awful (really!) when I started, but not so bad these days.  Practise and dedication do an amazing amount to compensate for any lack of natural skill...  A few club championship trophies, and a lot more "almost" results

Racing (autox) is my passion; track days and ice-only rallyx don't really do much for me, but perhaps I can find a car that sings on those conditons.  My wife and I currently own an S2000 (AP1) and a Mazda 3 (total pig on the ice), but we are seriously looking at replacing the truck/Mazda with a Fiesta ST.

I guess the biggest thing is that I am looking at retiring next year (I am old, I tell you, old!)  If I do, then Jo and I plan on driving across the continent next year to autox at as many events as we can.

I also designed and built the timing systems (both hardware and software).
