MIR is a pretty good spot. I wouldn't go to certain events though, due to the random stabbings.

Capitol seems to be mostly muscle car guys, I don't see any import 'mean mugging' going on...even from the civic drivers I continually embarrass...but they seem to keep to themselves anyways. I go there to get seat time, not make friends, but even then I've met some cool cats there. One guy was doing low 12's on a bone stock but chipped 1 series and we talked for a while. Another guy in a mustang was giving me launch and tire selection tips. This dude in a altima designed his own single turbo setup and he showed it to me (but was sloooow LOL) And there always seems to be a few Z and G's there too.

I'll be hanging around at the track a bit this year, but I sold the dr's and stiffened up the suspension so I doubt I will run much. We'll see.

best bet would be sell what you have now and come back when you are financially ready as it sounds like it could be at least a few months minimum.

good luck

I am financially secure enough to keep everything I have... Im not in financial trouble I made sure I was prepared for this type of thing. Just will have to put the car on the back burner and not make it my priority till I find good full time work again

Thanks for the encouragement though!!
