Life happens and the time has come for me to sell my race car. :( I do not want to stop going to the track so I need an affordable track rat. I am looking for a sporty RWD car that a 6'4" 240lb guy can fit in(no Miata) and can be tracked in stock form. Budget is $10k.
The list so far is...
I snapped this pic while getting the car ready for the first race of the new season. The coyote swap is finished and the new weight is 3048 lbs without fuel or driver.
So the time has come to for a new phone. I have an old unlimited contract with Verizon and will be buying the phone out right. The first thing I will do is root the phone and activate the WiFi tether. Ability to do both of these is a must.
What say the SVTP droid gods?
I got the opportunity to go to DirtFish rally school in Snoqualmie, WA. I spent three days last week learning all the skills needed to control a RWD car on gravel and slippery surfaces. The skills I learned should come in very handy racing in the rain and maybe the occasional off track...
I spend a lot of time in China and I have seen all types of counterfeit products. That said, seeing this really surprised me.

I searched through the forum and found a lot of information about low voltage, but nothing about overcharging.
My 98 Cobra was charging around 16.5 volts at 1000 RPM and would maintain this till the redline. I made the assumption the voltage regulator was bad and replaced the alternator...
I took the Cobra to Daytona this last weekend for the NASA event. Getting on the banking was a little intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it the track is really fun and extremely fast. Below is one of the faster laps of the weekend.

I had the chance to ride in a Veranstaltergemeinschaft Langstreckenpokal race car at the Nürburgring. The car was a 3 series BMW. Not the fastest car, but it braked and turned great. We were on track for an hour and made 5 laps. I recorded one of the laps...
Who's going?
I'll be there running HPDE 2. My last two track days have been a blast.

Four laps at VIR in my ’98 Cobra race car from last weekend.
I know the typical SVTP member is a god behind the wheel, but I still have a lot to learn. I hope you enjoy.
I took the race car to Barber Motorsports Park this month. While I was there a professional photographer took this picture. I though I would share.

Does anyone else have a problem with the side of the new car? It is plain and has no C-Scoops. Then last night I saw an Explorer. Its the same side.

The time came for me to replace my 225K mile '02 Mazda Protege5.
After months of searching I bought a brand new 2012 Mazdaspeed3. She had 73 miles on her when I drove her off the lot. Believe it or not buying this car was cheaper then a low mile(~20k) used Mazdaspeed3.
