I like your friendly notice on retaliation. I feel that way about a certain competitor in HPV at Norway.

I am thinking I will pull the trigger this spring. I doubt I'll splurge for an Exige S though. I will probably have to settle for an Elise. I am debating between Red with black rims or titanium with black rims.

You getting a new one or something different?

Are you a member at Autobahn? If not, how much track time would you say you get a year through track days and buddy passes?

Just curious.

I thought you might like that. :)

Pull the trigger now! :thumbsup:

Something more comfortable. Something that makes me feel like I'm sitting in a lazy boy chair. I already get enough racing at the kart tracks. Track days don't do it for me and I can't afford to go all out and race the type of cars that would excite me (Spec Racer Ford, Formula Mazda, etc).

I am not a member. You don't have to be either. You can join in with the many groups that hold track days there. Also look into LAPS, Inc. (http://www.lapsincorporated.com) which does 10+ lap days there for around $3-4K per year (basically $300/day).

It can be like drinking from a fire hydrant, if you have the time and the means. Are you just interested in Autobahn, or other area tracks? I usually put a list together of area HPDE events... what are you interested in?

I do time trials with NASA Midwest. It is a lot of fun. Exige/elise would probably be a blast running for a season or more.

Rick,

I'd like to make a suggestion, buy a SCCA Formula Enterprises car. They're beautiful little formula cars that look like a mini F1 car back when they still looked good. They're powered by a stock Mazda 2.3 liter four, make about 170 hp, are low maintenance, highly regulated specifications and cost $47,900.00. I saw them at the kart show two years ago and talked with a few guys who raced them. I'd have one if it were in the budget. I also saw them in action at the June Sprints this summer. It's the next step from karts.

[Rick]

I know a couple of guys who race FE/FSCCA cars. They also race karts actively. If I could afford to do it right, I would do it. But you're right, they look like nice cars. I'd love to try driving one.

Anyways... my car is SOLD! :thumbsup:

How about a Lotus Evora?

Rick, did you sell the car to someone locally?
