Really.....? I don't know why I'm even surprised anymore. :roll:

Kevin,

You really can't understand until you have been sodomized by the Comp Board like GP was. :hand: To simulate what we went through, I challenge you to race your car in EP and get back to us in a couple of years. Especially after repeatedly being told "thank you for your input, your car is competitive as classed".

"bananabehind:

Good luck in your race today!

Well, I am not having a great week. I got to the grid for Q2 and was told Grid spots for qualifying were $75.00. I was already suited up, buckled in, and HANS on and didn't have my wallet. Hopefully Q3 will be the one!!!

Since I couldn’t take off from work earlier, Q3 was going to be the only one for me with my new build GP car. However, the rain must’ve washed off my tow vehicle sticker which resulted in RA impounding the tow vehicle for non-payment of fees. I didn’t have time to explain or find my receipt so we pushed the car to the fuel pumps, but, I found out we needed to pre-order :doh: our 112 octane fuel so the car’s fuel cell remains empty.

Well, I need to at least go and get my bias ply slicks. I know they'll have those!

… wait ‘til next year!!

Don't worry GP Q3 was cancelled, the track time was given to a new SCCA class STH. Apparently somebody from SCCA got lookin around the paddock and saw all of the Toterhomes that were there and figured they for sure would race them. The new class was put out for input via a survey inside the porta potty on the outside of Canada corner. The new class Super Toter Home was given all the remaining GP sessions. Weird thing is, you can run a Spec Miata in STH as long as its white. OH well.
 
Be careful to read the rules set for Super Touring Toterhome.

Section 6.6 , Paragraph 6 All Toterhomes must carry a Minimum amount of Shrimp ( TBA ) in FUNCTIONING freezers and refrigerators.
Ice, or evidence of ice will be considered as illegal ballast.
Spoiled shrimp will result in an immediate D.Q.

But they failed to spec how many Freezers one can have, or location on the vehicle.
Should make for a good impound.
 
Since we've both sworn never to drive a Miata, we took the toterhome option for STH. It got caught in that narrow opening between pit and grid however, so, seeing nothing in the GCR prohibiting it, we harnessed up the dogs to try to pull us out. Didn't work. Apologies to all those piled up behind us.
 
As the sun slowly set.......... down the front straight of Road America, Mrs Wombat turned oh so slowly to her cherished Weeble husband and said with a giant sigh of dispair.............. " What a shame, now that all of the weebles and wombats have merged as one, as we were told to do by the B.O.D. , in order to bring peace and harmony to GP, we ........ the last of our kind, are forced to go........ vintage racing.

How`s that hope & change doing for you now? :cry:
