For local (club) events, I don't really care.  As Stuart mentioned, the exemption cannot be applied for regional and national events.

I have a set of Z214s with 36 runs on them, and they are more than a year old now.  Currently mounted on my AP1 OEM wheels.

Definitely for sale -- cheap too!

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).
