Attended my first race as a volunteer for a long time today. First time since August of last year due to some health problems last summer/fall. Some familiar cars, some new ones. Just good racing. Pics and videos.

Funny, I was just on sccbc’s website yesterday reading up on licensing requirements and whatnot. I really, really, want to get on a road course eventually. Probably ill advised to use my daily driver though, lest I biff it.

*Glances out window at derelict e38*

Hmmmmm. Basketweaves and Hoosiers might be a good look.

I’d like to get into road racing, but $$$ is just not there right now. At 26, I maybe not at a good stage in life to be racing.

The finances aren’t really available over here either, so no chance of any ability to be competitive whatsoever, or to repair it if much of anything serious breaks... Sounds like a ton of fun though. Chances are it won’t get past the idea stage though, unfortunately.

I wonder though if there is anything in road racing that’s like an equivalent to a test and tune night at the drag strip. Less organized race, more solo (or staged) track time for fun, excitement, skill building and vehicle tweaking.

I haven’t seen any track day kind of stuff in BC.

Surprisingly unfortunate, with so many performance cars and enthusiasts in the area.

But isn’t that test n tune on the drag strip? I was hoping for, ya know, corners.

Also, after a couple runs at Englishtown (rip) an 1/8th mile strip kinda leaves me wanting.

The way I understood it, it should be on the track. That said, I haven’t ever been, so I can’t be totally sure...

Track day...BRO! No racing licence or SCCBC membership required. I am contemplating doing the first time/novice thing. Not sure though. You interested?

I’m super interested, but I doubt I’ll be able to swing it at the moment. I’d need tires and brakes at a minimum to even think about putting the FX on track, and as much as I would absolutely love to, it probably isn’t the best idea to track our only safe/usable family car. (Still want to, though)

The E38 would be a blast to use, but it is presently unsafe at any speed... Maybe next season?
