hangin it up....

[Kitt]

Try doing some dirty riding... the street is fine and dandy but at least in the dirt you can still ride as aggressive as you want, pin the throttle, and challenge yourself. As much as I suck at it, it kept me entertained this summer.

x2, honda crf would be a good place to start

That's the block I stumbled on this season. Get a dirtbike. I'm hoping to be improving my financial situation for the upcoming season, but I won't be dumping money into it like I used to. Even without considering money, I wasn't let down skipping a race weekend to rip two full days in the dirt. Never thought twice about it, and after the cost of the bike, you're dumping like $5 for a weekend of gas and no limit riding.

x2...

But oxx, until you come back, can you be my pit velcro/upholstery guy still?

If i could afford a dirtbike i could afford to race. i really want one. maybe one day ill have one

[brewmaster]

Damn Brian, sorry to hear it. Hopefully something comes along and changes that all for ya.

Over here I'm just trying to sort out the stuff so I can race here. Sounds like a VERY active club racing scene here, with a bunch of classes, series and tracks to choose from.

Arent you the fellow who missed a weekend because you were too tired?

Wasnt that the one sunny weekend we had all year?

Whatever, I'm not quitting...



In all seriousness... I'm sad to hear this. Oxx was a HUGE source of entertainment and advise this rookie year. I don't know what I'll do without him pitted across from me. Hopefully you'll be there hanging out, and lending a hand.

I am sure that someone will fill in...

Sucks to hear. Stepping away from car racing was one of the hardest things I ever did, especially since our daughter literally grew up working on the car. It was the right decision, and I wouldn't (can't) go back, but it still sucked.

Your welcome to my SV if you need it for your "licensing weekend."

OK... just jealousy talkin'

And Oxx, sorry to hear that bro but yeah, definitely know where you're coming from. I don't want to think where I'd be at w/o having a bike that was at least worth some coin to sell... I won't be racing till my finances are in better shape as well. There's a reason grids are off like whoa...

Only you know what is best my man. I lost my race fund last year due to some changes in my financial situation and it hurt real bad. I'm hoping to have that under control for next year.

You should consider corner working. You can corner work both day just after practice till the last race make $110ish and it will pay for your entry fees and gas and shit. Get yourself a fast guy tire sponsor and you can still do one race a weekend and get both practices in for just your time corner working.

Just a thought.

If you need a bike you know you are welcome to mine any time.

Its a tough decision and sorry to hear your not doing it out of preference.
I can tell ya though that this summer with my injury and missing pretty much the whole season that its not as bad as you think. You get alot more time and money in the summer....which is nice in itself.
You'll be back, lots of people have taken time off and returned.
