Dan,
Thanks for the info. Lift throttle oversteer in an MR2? Never heard of it. I just never lifted the throttle
. Hey, with only 112 hp, lifting is a bad thing. You're right, they are VERY prone to that. I owned two '86s and loved them on the street and autox, but never open tracked them.
I will do more research into the local NASA chapter here. I haven't even considered it until recently, so I don't know anything about it.
One thing I really liked about PDA was that passing was only allowed in certain areas, with point bys. That way I knew someone was passing me, or the person I was passing knew I was there. I expect to have spins. I just don't have the $$$ to have an incident, then do an interview in my best southern accent and say "Rubbin's racin'".
Your car looks great. I don't go to shows to win a trophy. Hell, I never hang out until the end. Given a choice between going racing or to a show, well, it wouldn't even be a "choice". I just like to go to a cruise here and there and hang out. I find it relaxing from time to time.
Since I'm done open track events for this season, I'm in no major rush. I'll start looking into the costs of spec racers and making them street legal. Then compare that to what I already have in my car and how much further I have to go. I really like my car.
