I'm going to be in Richmond next weekend and am going to this auto-x, just seeing if any other MMers wanted to join me? Should be fun.

So, without any introduction, Ferrari Maserati of Washington pictures!

Yeah, I bought a 540i sport package 6-speed. Pictures to come.

Connect the Dots

Being told you're a hack is a humbling experience. It's not an entirely bad thing, but it certainly doesn't make you feel good and it's not where you want to be when you're learning. But if that's what you're handed you suck it up and make the most of the advice you're given.

Monday, 10/30 was my first run with Team Promotion (TPM), and only my second day on the Summint Main track. I had heard a lot of good things about TPM over the months so I was very excited to run with them. Their reputation was for having a structure very similar to something like NASA than with REDUC and STT, two other groups I have ridden with who, honestly, just seem to run open track sessions. Although I outpaced the Intermediate class with STT at Jefferson circuit I deicded to run the beginner group with TPM so I didn't get in over my head with a new club and a track that I knew I wasn't proficient at.

To cut to the chase, the beginner group was a good call. I felt like I was weaving through a parking lot during my first two sessions and that irritated me. It seemed like the track was overcrowded with riders who didn't know left from right. I found an instructor for the third session of the day to get evaluated to move up a level where I could hopefully turn the pace up a little to actually learn something. We were let to pit out at the leading edge of that session and found wide open track - my instructions were to "just show me you can ride." I got my tires warm and went about 8/10'ths. I felt good and I was happy with the way things had gone until the session ended. My instructor had over ideas, though.

Instructor 1 Wrote:You're definitely the fastest one out here [in this group], but you're really inconsistent and your form needs work. The three traffic free laps we got in you never took the same line twice and your form looks more like you're "willing" the bike with your upper body than commanding it with your lower.

This season has been a tight, seesaw battle of what is the worst race sanctioning body in the world.

The FIA earns a few more points today because they are blocking Toro Rosso F1 drivers Vitantonio Liuzzi and American Scott Speed from participating in the SuperKarts USA Grand Nat'ls (in Vegas) because the event is not CIK sanctioned. CIK is the karting division of FIA and of course do not welcome competition from other karting sanctioning bodies. The FIA threatened to take Liuzzi and Speeds' F1 superlicenses away if they participated in the event, citing safety concerns but obviously that is hogwash because Liuzzi was just riding a Moto GP bike last week.

Gotta love 'em :?

http://drawn.ca/2006/10/03/the-human-camera/

it's 8:15am. My sister just called me from campus and said that she stalled and her car wouldn't start back up. It's Evan's old beater, the white 240sx. I'm on my way over there right now, but I lack tools and know-how, so I doubt I can do anything.

It broke down this summer too due too due to a bad fuel pump.

If anyone sees this and is willing to help. gimme a call 571 236 0556 Chris thanks in advance

It's that time of year again, I need an inspection. Obviously my car would not pass the visual emmissions part of the test but everything else is good.

Help, please....
