"Days of Thunder".

I'm sure you'll spend as much time in the SCCA Admin trailer as I did last year, Fletch, saying "So he ran my client/driver off the road intentionally, doing $10/15/20K worth of damage, and he's getting a five point deduction, ONLY?"

Enjoy.

Pat is a nice guy, but he came from motorcycle racing and does not understand what is normal race contact and what is aggressive driving.

He ran many out of the series this year, and that tells the story.

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 (193 views)

It could very well mean they're developing tuner parts for their dealers too. I guess we'll know - jbchinoca 2008-02-27 19:56:34 (124 views)

I put money on that it's R&D for tuner parts for their dealers only. they should put that money - Silver Streakin' 2008-02-28 07:21:05 (114 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 (89 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 (103 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 (84 views)

Uhmmm, back burner. Wayyyyyyyyy back! :) - jbchinoca 2008-02-29 05:37:19 (76 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 (65 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 (76 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 (196 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 (128 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)
