You know I was just poking you. I totally agree -- even when guys can spend unlimited amounts of money on "stuff" -- what's the point.... other than "I could". We are just building street cars. GM can put dry sumps on their production cars because of the price they buy for... they've got guys like Stielow to package it - and the customer just pays for it. I think they're smart doing that because of the bad rap they'd get if people went out and tracked their cars and had issues... only takes a few and the rumor mill cranks up... so they're almost in a "must do" situation.
For me -- I'd just add in an Accusump for the track "starvation" / G forces / oil climbing the pan etc occasions.

Seriously though, I'm trying to keep myself realistic about how TOW is going to be used for the next year or two. Here in Central Texas, we don't have the number of big track events that other areas seem to. I have a monthly autocross I can attend, sometimes 2 if I go join the San Antonio group. I get GG twice a year in Fort Worth, again, an autocross, and then USCA assuming I make it.
I do have tracks close by, but will I get to attend more than 2 or 3 events a year at those? Last year I only did 2. If I find that I'm going to be able to do more on a more regular basis, then perhaps it will be time to step up. But given 'life' at the moment, I'm not sure there will be a lot of opportunity yet.
That said, I have some 'life' things in flux right now which could change the whole picture.   |
