Thanks for the warm welcome!
In case you were wondering here is what my car looked like when dad and I got it from the junkyard...project was from 1999 to 2005 when I drove it from San Diego to College Station. It was my daily til '07 including tracking it at Texas World Speedway and AutoXing. I drove it back home in '08 to build my 428CJ.
  
That's the short story...

I really want to try some autocross/road course racing. Looks like so much fun, but it's really expensive from my understanding.

Hoping to take the slowbra down there in April i think...
and ya steve open tracking is quite expensive when you add up travel, gas, brakes, tires, and general wear and tear. AutoX is pretty cheap though and not nearly has hard on your car, of course its not as fast or fun either.

You mean like A&M was going to "suck" in the SEC or how Johnny was going to "suck" in the cotton bowl because he was on the heisman tour and stoops was going to be prepared for him?
