Just like to keep things interesting by weeding out the folks who should have bought Civics instead of Vettes!!

Hey Rick, I'll be there and if it's a small course I might catch you, or at least stay in the same zip code.
I have to buy a helmet this week. Sharing helmets doesn't cut it.

Auto-X is NOT that hard on the cars. Not nearly as bad as Drag and Road racing. Pads and tires get abit wore that it....and to hit anything that would really hurt you...you would really have to be trying Tom, I really think Deb is abit scared...so I think we should take the high road here and help comfort her with her insecurity not bring out her blatant fear of her inability to handly that 500hp C3. It's really not her fault she cannot drive anyway..I mean after all she is a woman!
I would recommend looking at a motorcyle helmet Tom. You will have alot more options, usually more comfortable and cost will be ALOT less then a specific car helmet. Helmet rating should be atleast as high as a car helmet as well.
OK Bigboy I'm already registered...Auto-X registration page I don't see you or anyone Vettes registered yet

Naa just the cam and 3:90's. Need to order a blower pulley and that's just about it. Have been slack on the breakin...may have hit 105 at least once. 
Hope to get it tuned before it's an antique though.

Don't worry Randy I hear those new Windstar Minivans have alot of power and Gas mileage is really unbelievable!
You really won't be missing much anyway and I'm sure your Sunday will be much more eventful going to Bed Bath and Beyond

...these boy's here at the bank have been keeping me pretty busy but I do see some light at the end of the tunnel so that's a good thing. I think I was getting hitched in Hawaii last time.
Won't be ready by this weekend but hopefully not too much longer. Having issues with 02 sensors but think I have a plan for that too. The car was fine except for the clutch before I decided to add the cam and 3:90's. Nothing like taking out perfectly good parts and putting in bad ones and then having to take them out and do it again....but it's getting closer.

Anybody else want to come see the quiet silver put the smack down on the loudmouth widebody integra (again) should be there early Sunday
Be careful who you call out just cause you had a good night at the poker table
If it's on then it's on, but I will need to borrow a helmet

How about offering to buy Daves Helmet? It matches your Vette.

Looking at the entry list, I need to race the vette and the Is300!
I had about $100, but you're right some chump (nitro) ended up with all of it!!!
All the helmets I see are $300 that look halfway decent.
