ADAM, if those posts were directed to me. I plan on doing the school in april. And I have not had any track time yet, I don’t really plan on being very competitive because well I don’t have enough experience to BE competitive. ---

I’ve looked into Solo 1, and it seems like something I want to do, but I don’t know if I can deal with the costs associated with it, considering that I have no skill to begin with. How much is this school thing they have? I really want to learn that, since I’m way more into grip than drift. I was thinking of starting off with solo 2 actually, since it’s cheaper, and I’m dirt poor and all. I remember reading a whole bunch of stuff about it way back when I first gained interest in it, but I didn’t do anything about it then, so I kinda forgot everything. What’s this rally thing you were talking about, what kinda costs are associated with it? Cuz as I said… I would really love to get into some serious racing, but the costs and distances have been scaring me away. I can’t force myself to shell out 100 bucks for a race when I SUCK at racing. I hope the summer track meet turns out good and I atleast learn to heel and toe (yeaa… I’m a n00b) ---
