Looks like POS's car may get nationally competitive again. Perhaps Thomas could co-drive it so it can bring home the gold!

Looks like I should have bought Sammm's car in order to stay competitive.
Looks like either way the MX-5 MSR and Sol/Sky are going to get buried by the RX-8.

Yep, I like playing in the highest stock class There are quite a few tweener cars that are between AS and SS that might be fun to see compete. But alas all the guys with the high dollar machines want somewhere to play too. It'd be interesting to see something like an Audi R8 in SCCA.

I never said I could buy a R8. Actually I would probably buy the cheapest (except the C5/C5Z06) but competitive car for that class just like I did for the current SS and oogle the GT3RS, Gallardo etc. A used s/c Elise or 07 Exige S is well within reach and especially by 2010.

I learned this the hard way.....
Take all of your valuables out of your car at night. This includes taking the mounting hardware off of your windshield or dash and hiding the power supplies. I lost over $ 1,000 to a thief with no hope of recovering my items and to top if off they smashed my window in the rain and my truck got soaked. Let my loss be your learning experience.
