i just brought that up because it would suck for someone to work so hard on a project and expect to drive and then be like "oh, yeah, you don't have suit go sit in the corner".


if wooley can make a cage or whatever it would make a great article in s3.

in fact the whole build up would make a great article for s3.

i'm with chris on the team thing. i was looking forward to helping yancers with his spec miata. i'm not sure what's happening with that right now. last i heard he was busy taking bike rides in the woods with malty. sounds kinda gay.

we would just have to swap in a new seat. greg has a fat guy kirkey that i need to buy. we could just make another seat bracket and keep it bolted to the seat. then when it's our turn bolt in the fat guy seat/bracket combo and go. just like le mas when they changed drivers they change seat cushions.

I still vote for multiple teams so we can have a BM (BosoMechaniks, not bawl movement) take over.

multiple teams would be hella fun if we could find enough people and money to cover it.

and yea, all of this would make for a rad article/articles in S3.

I'm sure erin will chime in, but its a yellow 5 lug FC.
4 piston calipers (stock fc shit) runs and drives, 5 speed...
It would be perfect.

I know somebody that is giving me a firesuit, i think that its just a little bigger than me so others should be able to fit in it as
well (im like 5'8 or so 145ish). I can find out more about it though.
I also might be getting one of my old seats back, its FIA approved. If not, my old boss might be able to get teh hookup on seats since he road raced for a long time.

And if that didn't work out, I need a new one for the drift car anyway and i'd totally take it out and bolt it into another FC for such a worthy cause.

I would love to do this if you guys are serious. If you already have 6 people, i will donate to the cause anyway. I also know how to find parts galore for that car as far as making it run/drive better and such. (if we use the FC)

I wanted to do the GRM challenge this year but i might not make it since i didn't end up with teh car i wanted for it. The idea of this is driving me crazy though.

Im very serious about this. I know a lot can happen in a year (especially in the dM time portal), but I am without a doubt willing to make this happen. We have too many resources for us not too.
