stop talking woof, you couldn't make sense if you quoted Shakespeare.

ps. I'm on the car classification committee for Solosprint here in Ontario, which is a step above autocross. I'm the competition director for the Toronto Autosport Club. Ive been in the sport 5 years now, and even organized a few events.

you want to race? come get some, i'll humiliate you so bad you'll go home crying.

What tracks? I've been lucky enough to race (as in wheel-2-wheel) at Laguna Seca, Infineon, California Speedway, Buttonwillow and Willow Springs (and time trial at all of the above as well as Streets of Willow).

its the one with the biggest mouth and baddest attitude that ends up being the most pitiful driver. I learned that real fast when I competed in the SCCA amateur rally series. (before it became Rally America) I wont claim to know anything about you when it comes to being behind the wheel, just stating an observation.

i know i'm a loudmouth but i can put my money where my mouth is when it comes to operating a motor vehicle.

Toronto Motorsport Park
Shannonville Raceway
Dunville Autodrome
Mosport Driver Development Track
St.Eustashe something something (its french, in Quebec)
and i have had brief experience on the Mosport International Raceway..

here is me at TMP..

this is me during my first season 5 years ago, i finished 14th overall out of about 60 people at the end of the season and got 3rd place novice

i currently moved up to a 01 subaru RS, but it needs things replaced before it could see the track, maybe next year....

Serge, we're not talking about cars though, calm down dude. It was a metaphor that everyone else got and you just chose not to.

"Shifting up another gear" is a commonly used metaphor (to the point of cliche), the one in this thread was just a variation on that.

Maybe, he hasn't gone off on one for a while now.

How does it feel to be the youngest curmudgeon on the forum Serge?

Looks to me like he missed the apex in the second photo so there is an argument for more show than go
