Figured I should listen to the rules and go ahead and introduce myself here even though I normally don't do this. (damn do I feel lame now :))

This should be a good chance to see if there is anyone that normally visits the VA Motorsports Park here in Dinwiddie, VA. Also would like to hear from the local Auto-Cross groups around here. I am interesting in trying my luck at some Auto-Cross this spring, it looks like a lot of fun and a good learning experience. I will probally also try out my luck @ Open-Track Racing @ Summit Point later in the Spring Time. Got a chance to play there at a club meet, very very fun, but could only run for 3 laps :(.

Hey Ozzman...i already like ya. You're an Ozzy fan and own a SHO...heh. Welcome to the boards...

I autocross my 85 XR at VMP through VMSC. I will attempting to run the entire next season, so you'll see me there and Cloverleaf mall. Throwing around a SHO through some cones should be fun...you should try it.

I also plan on doing some open tracking this year...but that depends on fundage and work put into my new projects...we'll see

I've seen SHOFEAR94 on SHOForum before I belive I might have met him @ last year's convention. Over 100 people there I couldn't remember them all. I was suppost to drive up to the convention with a few guys from a club in northern va, but I left a day early. I haven't heard from those guys in a while. I should probally get up with some local SHO guys. I normally goto all the big events and meet up with people from the forum. (IE - Convention, Carlise, and the Mid-Maryland SHO)


FlodaXR4 - Hope to see you around at some of the events this year. If I would have seen a merkur I would have remembered it. I love those cars.

Nic - seeing as you live at VMP, I'll definatly be seeing you then. Watch for my car, I'm the ONLY 98 SHO around here.

and hello jenn

I would think you would remember an obnoxiously loud Merkur if you saw it...but this was me tearing up my tires and wasting brakes in Nov. at a VMSC autox
