I'm disappointed that VW/Audi/Porsche haven't found a way to produce a car that's competitive with the BRZ (which is becoming the 944 of the 21st Century at track events).

Congrats. As a father to three teen kids, I know what it's like to watch them grow distant. I can't wait 'til mine decide that maybe I'm a little bit cool.

(De)winterizing lawn sprinklers.

I bit the bullet last summer and had a system put in. The install price included one winterization. I've seen the YouTube vids on using compressed air to blow out the sprinklers, but I have to...

I would venture to say the all-Brit Top Gear gets better ratings than the all US Top Gear. But I agree that a lot of Clarkson's appeal would not carry over to a US based program since his wit is...

Anyone @ VIR from the Bethesda/Rockville area?

I have a small inter-Dorki package from JD (power tool) that I'm looking to move from VIR back to N. Bethesda.

I generally enjoy the guy, and he enhanced his image most recently when he raved about an American pickup truck.

I can run 1:25s at Summit yet can't top 115 in the SRF. I get out-drag-raced by 944s. There's a reason I have given up on HPDEs

Sometimes you just need to pull through the pits for new scenery.

They don't have the latest VIR updates on Iracing (New pavement, gators, and bonus exit pavement in T3, T10 and T12), but the general layout is still very useful.

Spec Racer Ford Gen 3 upgrade manual. I have 7 months to get smarter.

I have to give credit to a very small crew at SCCA Enterprises that has developed this package, and the installation manual. Needless to say, the winter of 2015-16 is going to be a busy one.
