Doomed turbo #2 was shipped from Texas. Car will be back on the road in no time. I very excite.

I'm going to be driving my car. Zero fuсks will be given about imminent failure.

A 90 foot roll? That sounds like a very unusual race.

Yes, that's Harry Grove. I like CDC events because they don't take autocross too serious (cough SCCA cough)

I also. I like sitting around in non blazing sun BSing with my friends at CDC events.

Most of the other events are not that srs. Sure there are some people that are way over competative but that's ok....I ignore them. You would love a FedEx event in your car...you can actualy go fast

It's all about expectations.

If you arrive expecting racing then you'll think it's gay.
If you arrive expecting to dick around with your car a bit, drive around some cones for like 4 minutes and spend 6 hours in scorching sun talking about cars with other people, then yeah, you'd be spot on.
