    Default Finally bought an F1000!!

    Hello, I just wanted to thank everyone for the great advice and lively conversations. I finally made the move after looking at many, many cars. Sal fromPhilly motorpsorts gave me a good deal on the DP04 and we made it happen! He is swapping out the 06 GSXR for an 07 and getting it set up for my first run at Homestead June 12-13. I still have a few things I'd like to get done: diffuser, paddle/flatshift system, dry sump system and maybe a few tips and tricks Ben Cooper and Tom Beattie would be kind enough to share. I'm really excited and think I made the best decision. Again, thanks to everyone that helped me over the last couple of months really figure out the class, cars and all the little things I would never be able to learn on my own. Hope to see you guys on the track soon enough!!!!!

    this side of an FA.
    I feel that as a former m/c road racer you'll be railin' in no time flat.

    Welcome, JohnPaul. The class, and southeast SCCA racing, is glad to have you. It's great to see the class steadily growing. We're lucky in the GA/FL/SC/AL/TN area to have some fun tracks, great host regions and great guys to race with.

    Have you measured the engine bay for a BMW yet?

    James is THE reason behind my new found speed.
    He is a wizard with wrenches.

    AND my new BFF!

    Yes I met Mr. Lee at PBIR a few weeks ago, a super nice guy, we spoke for a while about a bunch of stuff.
    I have his card sitting on my night table (ok, I think I sound creepier than Glenn) and will have him work with me for sure.
