I couldn't find a thread for it already. So happy new year!
What are your motorsports resolutions/goals for the upcoming season?
I've got a lot of them, but I think I'm going to net the biggest results from learning how to use the clutch on the bike properly on track.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

Don't crash and maybe win a race or two.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
fix bike, don't go down if that happens.
pass instructor clinic... if funds go nicely, maybe rent a car for race license?

Happy 2007 everyone. I should be able to get my car paid off this year and move significant funds to IRA, Money market, and 401(k). I will also look to move out at some point and go to a place I have never been before. Miami, South Dakota, or somewhere else.

goals this year include going back on a workout program and getting back in shape, sell off some cars and move towards a more sensible car situation (GASP!!), eliminate/minimize my debt to make a mortgage easier, get 240z track ready, and potentially become an instructor. I also would like to dump a significant chunk of change into an IRA to buffer my retirement plans as well as drive at a few new tracks.

i'll second that for myself too. i remember when i used to be able to run a few miles as a "warmup"......
and dammit Dave stop teasing me with the Z! all of you guys selling off the old/getting new hotness is making me want to jump on the bandwagon :oops:

Big red: make it run like it's supposed to (whatever the hell the problem is). Daily. Bling out, make it the 'complete' car that I want.
Silver: Put new engine in it. Maybe man up and do some real track events?
STi: Sell it, then miss it.
