Default Okay, it's that time of year again...

while you're sitting there with going to the track on your mind, but either the car is being fixed, or there's no place to go.

Not to fear, Big Pine Key Motorsports is here for you. Some of you guys will remember this from last year's off season.

When you need a fix, just give it a view!

Happy Holidays!

That stuff is in the basement, and Mrs. Falcon hasn't been down there is 3 years. Hell, I could die down there and no one would find me for months.

TeddyFreddy, it is Grand Turismo hooked to a Sony Playstation 2 with a Hot Seat.

OK, then you owe yourself a favor, buy the real deal:

1. Xbox360
2. Microsoft Wireless Racing Wheel
3. Forza Motorsport 2

There is simply no comparison!
FM2 is the best commercial racing simulator on the market today.
I really mean it, simulator, no kids stuff.
Here is a HD video (big, but worth the download time; Save Target As):

I can race you online this winter if you want. I live in snow-land Canada so while my Z06 naps I have to keep myself in shape.

If I can just get rid of the understeer, it'll be sweet.

My wife bought the seat and game for me a couple of years ago. I got to drinking one afternoon during the winter after getting it set up and decided to make a video of the goings on at the Big Pine Key Mobile Home and Adult Theme Park.

It looked like you'd been drinking in that video clip . You know if you stuff the car into the corner with the brake pedal it'll push every time, even on the video game....you ought to try more rear brake bias

It was posted for its entertainment value.

You know it was a year ago that I bought that car from you?

Next best thing

Z06_505, Webz and myself went Karting today in Indiana.
Complete carnage on the track and I suspect the two of them were doing some serious cheating as evidenced by the track times.

I may have lost the battle, but I will win the war

Damn Jody, That looks better than the last time I saw you at the track! You've improved greatly!

Thank you very much, I'm here all week!

Don't forget to tip your waiter and barkeep!
