So... I have taken this week to do some thinking on the race with Hio thing. I am going to officially back out of it, and here are the reasons:
As some of you know, I mentioned a little while back that I was thinking of taking the car back to stock, and getting rid of it to possibly get some land.. or something that will actually hold value.
If I go 4 hours away(which i am not fond of anyway) to race, and break something, even possibly the motor, then I am screwed on making money on getting rid of the car. I personally don't want to take that risk.
Not to mention, I was going to purchase a set of $450 tires just to be able to race the car. Seems like a bad investment to make just for a race.
The track is opening regardless that weekend for test and tune.. and that does not mean a Meet cannot still happen. I am just not going to risk breaking something on a car that will be gone within a month, or sooner if someone offers the right price.
With all this being said, here goes:
Hio, I apologize for the callout knowing ahead of time there was a possibility that I was getting rid of the car. I'm man enough to admit that my defense of the statement you made about dragging my car got me going.
Had I planned on keeping the car, this race would have definitely happened.
I have been going back and forth alot lately, which is why I have not taken the mods off the car yet. I enjoy driving it every time I get into it.. but at my age it's time to put priorities ahead of toys.
BUT, Hio, if you are going to find yourself in the area(within an hr drive or so for me), before the car is gone, I will be glad to meet up and run you even with my current 20" tires on the car.

Yeah I know, it's all good. As far as me riding, I had always wanted a bike. My dad passed away suddenly, and I decided it was time to get one. So I got a bike, me and my friend took the MSF class, and I started riding. Did everything right (didn't touch the bike till I took the class, didn't get on the freeway for a week, RARELY did any more than the posted speed limit, etc), but I still paid the price 4 months later.
