HAHAHA thanks guys!  I will make a note when I signup Feb. 1st.
I'm not in it to win it. Just to have a good time and do my best. My car will be in the modified 4cyl class. I think....
I do have a lot of fun in the city playing bump bump with the crownvic's.

Geeez. Remember that some of your best buds from here will be on the track with you.
I don't think the inspection will find those issues. But I kinda like it when brakes work the way they're supposed to.

Yeah the emergency brakes do work in an emergency. They will "self adjust" after that and stick. Its a decent car nothing really dangerous about it. Working on the suspension now (tie rod ends, ball joints) will also clean up the wiring. (temporary turned permanent kill switch)
I wouldn't drive it if I thought it was an unsafe vehicle. (still a KIA)
just has a few problems.....

Subscribed... As always, I hate that this event is so early in the year.
If I come, I'll be in a be-tailed '07 Civic. If they let me cross the border with it, that is. But just to spectate.

MetroMPG, I'm sure Bob G would love to see you drive in the event if you make it out here. I would too.

Toyota PriusC is the most fuel efficient car in the USA and part of the biggest selling and most reliable hybrid family on the planet. |

They donate at least $1000, plus the prize for the best school. Last year they doubled it to 2k (plus school). And that is at the least. There is a lot of stuff to pay for...track, insurance, food, ceremony stuff. Keep in mind the point is for donating to the charity/fund.
Changzuki tied with someone else last year, so they doubled it. On top of him giving me a FREE ROOM, he also donated his winnings back[to the charity]. He doesn't mention it because he has the right idea of charity...you don't tell people about the charitable things you do...but I can, because he's an awesome guy and I have a lot of respect for him.
I should note, I am not 100% certain if it is Toyota, or a local dealership. I believe the reps were all from a local place. It could be either one, but I am not sure which. I could see Toyota sending just local people, but I could also see a local dealership wanting to sponsor it for the cause.
