Mac Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hey, if you've my post in the other forum, you know I'm trying to get started on racing. Obviously, I'm planning on starting small with Grand Stock, but if there're any crews that need another member in exchange for some training (which is one in the same, I'd think) I'd be happy to join. I'm still in California till July, but I'd like to start in with some contacts when I get back. PM me if anyone would like to know more about me.

Mac Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 ive never seen anyone volunteer to help and get no reply. try losing the whole skull and death image you'll do better if they think your serious. It's not a "death image", just two of my favorite comic heroes, the Punisher and Ghost Rider. Yes, I'm 22 and still read a comic every now and then, but before you think that makes me immature, those two're usually made for the older croud. Zoom did PM me, though, and I think he'll be able to help alot, but I'll still look for other people to help (and more experience/training), like Crazyhorse, thanks. I'll probably make another post when I'm closer to finishing my term and moving back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kn1ghtblade Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Yeah my main thing in the first couple of races will be to just finish in 1 peice one the lead lap and no engine damage... That is my attitude going in until I get used to it... I have said before I am probably going to be nervous and scared as hell the first time I am out there about to start a live race, I just hope that goes away in a hurry...

Hartracn19 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 probably going to be nervous and scared as hell the first time I am out there about to start a live race, I just hope that goes away in a hurry... I think every driver has that feeling before the start of every race. Once the race starts, you forget about it as your consentration is placed elsewhere.

HiTech Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 word of advice .not that its worth much never .never say this to a driver that is next to you in the line .{ EYE HAVE TO PEE } that would make him mad cuz he just went before the race and NOW he has to go again .and just go out there and keep the car out of the way and finish ,dont worry aboult being lapped .cuz everyone of us have been there .and also when that green flag drops you wont think of be.ing scared anymore you .ll be haveing fun .

I have said before I am probably going to be nervous and scared as hell the first time I am out there about to start a live race, I just hope that goes away in a hurry... Just went through the nerves this year. I was more afraid of crashing someone else, than I was of crashing myself. But after the 3rd or 4th race, the butterflies go away. And when the last race of the season comes, that's when you find out if you really have jewels or not, lol. I was a lot braver the other night than in the past, lol .

Tps_55 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 yea adam i was also worried about getting in someones way but that all goes out the window once the green flag drops. But i had a lot of fun this year(even though we were involved in a wreck last race). Hopefully we can do better next year. Also thanks for all the tps drivers for having patience with me and answering any questions i had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97car Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yes we do need to run at TWS like the old days and they could learn what a bug sandwich is like(almost running over a corvette and haveing mustangs running up your rear practicing with the SCCA showroom stock class. It was still fun though,I just thought the vette would run deeper in the corners in the road course,he used the brakes at least 5 car lengths before I was.
