Well... I started racing in the 80s. Since then it has been on and off... mostly off. I did three seasons with the Jim Russell school at Laguna Seca and Riverside from 81-83, and then dabbled with the Winfield school at Paul Richard in France in the summer of 85 then joined the Navy. Did a little sprint karting in the early 80s, then again from about 93-97. I took the Skip Barber school and did two races with them in 95. From 99-00 I tracked my 94 RX-7 several dozen times then traded it for the Z06 in late 01 and began tracking it. My first real racing license was with the SCCA in 2003.
I've been fine since the wreck, spending most of the summer at sea. Z06 still sitting on a trailer pending a decision. If someone doesn't buy seege's car I may go back into debt and buy that one. Otherwise, I'll probably go back into debt and have Phoenix Performance repair my car this winter. I'm at sea next Spring so my next real chance to race isn't until next June. Not in a real hurry to do anything given that time constraint. I'm also sort of waiting to see what the SCCA will do with the touring classes. They are evaluating making a new touring class for the C6 Z06, SRT-10 Viper and Ford GT to race nearly unrestricted. If they do that, the C5 Z06 will likely remain competitive in its class (whatever they end up calling it) for years, making me more likely to spend the money to fix my car.
