Chip Herr will not be driving for STaSIS this year. He is entered in a Mazda 6 driving for Tindol - CBS4 2008-02-26 16:54:19 (224 views)

StaSIS isnt running in WCTC? - Steve S 2008-02-27 08:42:51 (192 views)

Doubt that's the case... - Z-Tuned2 2008-02-27 18:02:12 (138 views)

Jared posted pics of an R8 at STaSIS recently.... and the new TT and S5. - Silver Streakin' 2008-02-27 18:35:18 (194 views)

We shall see... - Z-Tuned2 2008-02-28 13:07:45 (106 views)

maybe Champion will step in, esp. if they don't run the R10 for the whole season. - jbchinoca 2008-02-27 12:23:10 (90 views)

Probably more of a business decision... focus on making more, rather than racing. - Pat-SoCal 2008-02-27 12:00:35 (96 views)

I emailed Jason..no response yet - Steve S 2008-02-27 15:11:43 (72 views)

He's too busy working on the R8.. For Pobst/Galati reunion...:) - jbchinoca 2008-02-28 06:09:39 (80 views)

If that dream comes true...then I will have to have them name the car after me...LOL - Rakete 2008-02-28 13:35:18 (74 views)

I hope they stay in racing. Their "tuner" packages for Audis are really nice and a good value. - PoTTomac-Greg 2008-02-27 12:11:10 (80 views)

i'm available if stasis needs me....8^) - Press 2008-02-26 19:20:39 (101 views)

You can basically guarantee yourself a ride... if you come up with enought money! - PoTTomac-Greg 2008-02-27 08:52:04 (96 views)

How much is enough? <In my tingling world of fantasy> I sent them an email - jbchinoca 2008-02-27 12:21:03 (118 views)

Average of a quality WC car ride is about $16-20K per race. - Mike S 2008-02-27 20:33:04 (90 views)

<Cough, choke> Good God, my wife had a tough time parting with the $600 for my Fontana - jbchinoca 2008-02-28 06:13:08 (104 views)

LOL! : ) Yah, a DP car costs about $80K per race, a Speed GT car $40K, GA Car $40-60K, IRL.... - Mike S 2008-02-28 20:36:09 (110 views)

That's what home equity loans are all about! - PoTTomac-Greg 2008-02-29 11:19:27 (85 views)

Uhmmm, back burner. Wayyyyyyyyy back! :) - jbchinoca 2008-02-29 05:37:19 (77 views)

Oh, and that's before insurance, crash damage, travel costs, etc. Race cars cost TONS to operate. - Mike S 2008-03-01 13:05:50 (66 views)

Even the so-called "amateurs" that win at the SCCA runoffs clearly spend big bucks. - PoTTomac-Greg 2008-03-03 05:57:52 (81 views)

yeah, no sucha thing as cheap racing anymore. We paid a $50 entry, which included insurance, - jbchinoca 2008-03-01 13:13:48 (89 views)

Even Koni ST and WCTC entries are all over $1K per race, now. Hard cards are $300-700 per series - Mike S 2008-03-01 20:43:30 (77 views)

WCTC entry fee is $2400/race $2700 if you're late - Eric Fletcher 2008-03-01 22:35:13 (67 views)

Yep. Over $1000. And for that fee, you get, terrible stewardship who let people drive like - Mike S 2008-03-02 09:59:04 (97 views)

Kinda like the attrocicity with Mika Salo, even saying on-air that he "took him out on purpose." - jbchinoca 2008-03-02 10:53:46 (75 views)

You mean adding new dealers, or switching alliances? I'll put $10 toward your ride! - PoTTomac-Greg 2008-02-27 12:40:09 (104 views)

OK, new campaign, "Get JB into a Stasis ride fund" :) - jbchinoca 2008-02-27 12:45:11 (88 views)

Just $19,990 to go! - PoTTomac-Greg 2008-02-28 06:54:52 (79 views)

A mere pittance. :) - jbchinoca 2008-02-28 07:24:52 (75 views)

jailbait? - Silver Streakin' 2008-02-27 18:34:03 (108 views)

Hey, this isn't AWOT, lol :) - jbchinoca 2008-02-28 06:14:59 (79 views)

Old news, actually. Chip signed with Tindol in early January. STaSIS is apparently not running in WC - Mike S 2008-02-26 18:03:44 (197 views)

That sucks. They were the the only reason I watched WC Touring. - jbchinoca 2008-02-26 19:52:00 (88 views)

not old news here. can't blame him, though. sounds as if he was being paid with STaSIS parts. - Silver Streakin' 2008-02-26 19:14:11 (190 views)

Everything is wrong with WCTC when you are in the series. Terrible stewardship, no organization, - Mike S 2008-02-27 20:36:53 (129 views)

what can be done to better the series? hopefully it doesn't fall apart. - Silver Streakin' 2008-02-28 07:17:52 (109 views)
