You need more to qualify for points, but for guys like us who use our toys for daily drivers, I think a roll-cage is too much. Ano, game? Don't have to go full-bore, just fast enough to have fun...

I went there to observe the event kasi nagplaplano rin ako. Weighing the pros and cons, car, budget and the most important- fun factor

I'm thinking hard... sabi ng manager sa Cruven may binebenta na race-ready (as in widebody, full-exhaust, 4AGE, TRD, blah blah blah) Starlet na 95k lang... perfect!

Pero, in all fairness, I really just want to bomb around on that mountain track with my street car... I'm not crazy enough to race for points. Knowing myself, I might actually push hard enough to get into real trouble if I hit a patch of dust, oil or gravel.

You are right take the safer route to fun. Front or rear wheel ung starlet?

Rear wheel daw. Tempting, pero I'm kind of short of throw-away cash, since I'm in the process of building a house. Another year, and I might be able to say yes without completely alienating my wife...

Parang nakakatakot drive ung starlet na yun sa hillclimb but sa slalom drag circuit ok. ung mga friends ko na nka sti at evo nagtalbugan tsikot nila awd pa yon.

Depende naman kung gaano ka ka-hardcore mag-drive, I guess. Kita-kits ba sa next leg?

Isasama ko si Carlo kung okay yung sched...

**Si 06** · April 11th, 2007 06:18 PM

April 28 ung next race if I'm not mistaken. Venue I still don't know. Laguna or Bataan yata and the last race will be in Subic sa Motorsport week but thats not part of the series.

Okay, I'll call the organizers and see if I can get to the next scrutineering.

Was really bummed that I wasn't able to go to the first one, early pa akong nag-sign-up...
