Title: Yo WASSUP!!!
Post by: Danny on August 30, 2009, 06:12:14 PM
hello every body,

My name is Danny Lester and i just brought a '04 Xray off one of the members.  I've done i bit of practicing so that i dont look like a complete fool when i show up for the practice on Tuesday and for my first offical race on Sunday(Hopefully if im qualifyied).

I believe my car has every thing required to race and am looking forward to meeting some of the members on Tuesday and Sunday.

Cya on the track  ;D

Welcome to IROCC!

Practise is good, you get to talk to other members and they will give you tips on your setup and a open parking lot to drive in. But nothing replaces driving on the track with walls and other drivers out there with you.

Don't worry about your driving skills, wee were all beginners at one time. Look forword to seeing you at the track.

Neil

Members don't usually show up until 630 or later and we are there until 830, but it would be nice to leave at 830 so we can go for dinner at the new restaurant balsilico on goldstream. Just for a change of heart.

We Only have about 3 or 4 more race weekends to go. So unless something is broken I would just run the car as it is. save you money for 1/12 scale stuff
