taco mac has the best wings in this area IMO ...(well wild wing too) ... and some of the taco mac's became summitts but they have the same exact wings and still have over 150 draft beers not counting bottles! w00t

Well When I'm not working on my car I'm working on someone elses car. Or I like to build car models and go to car shows. But mostly I just kick it with my friends and talk about cars. Oh yeah and I like to play Gran tourismo in my boring times.

ditto, i got a nitro tc3 that i race at the track. i can easily drift it with control on the turns. it's pretty bad as$. usually if you want to drift the car, just use harder inserts in the rear if you are using rubber tires, and use harder shore in the rear if you are using foams. i use 45 front and 37 rear foams. what kind of car do you have?

hmm my hobbies are.....kickin' it with friends. (get togethers and stuff)play volleyballr/c carscounter strike

Depends on what you're doing at the track. I'm not a drag strip guy, just road courses. If you're talking SCCA, absolutely, you gotta do quite a bit as they have rules/requirements. But at a performance driving school like the Audi car club, you use your own car and it doesn't require any special tires/wheels/harnesses/cages/etc. It just has to pass a technical inspection, which is easy if you maintain your car well. Owning an Audi is not required. The only mods I did to my old 240sx for these events was upgrading to DOT4 brake fluid, put on slightly more aggressive front brake pads, and used a $20 torso harness (nissan seats do not have very good lateral support). I ran on all season radials, and it was a blast. Audi holds these schools all over the country. they're inexpensive and fun. If you're interested, I'll pass the link along.
