Another Introduction

I wanted to say hello to all of the North American racers in the group. I live in South Carolina, but am working on a stragegy to get back to Seattle...where I belong. I have been racing AI's for quite some time, but am new to online competition. I discovered this group while searching for more serious drivers than the public forums offer. I have no doubt that I found what I was looking for!

Cheers,
Michael

Hello Michael,

Great to have you here with us!!

Thanks for the warm welcome

I wanted to thank you for the warm welcome! I just sent the admin a note to have my user name changed from bluneski to Bob Luneski so that I can apply for trial membership. Of all the groups I've looked into, this seems to be the one most committed to promoting a positive experience.

Best regards,

Bob

P.S. I hope you're a Duck fan!

Class decision for 1/29?

1/25/09
- Machwerk 1967
- Mini Challenge? WTCC? WTCC 87?

Has there been a decision/consensus on the class(s) for this race?

Thankx

It is still pretty far out, but as of now I am leaning towards the WTCC 87 since there are a lot of other Mini and WTCC events.

Bob Luneski · Jan 3, 2009

Sounds good, I just wanted some idea so I could spend some quality time with the cars.

Eric and Bob: I somehow have a hunch that your significant other will regret giving you a wheel and GTR Evo:laugh2:... look at you Eric, from new guy in september to full time admin, I would like to hear what Mrs. Kaczmarek thinks about all of that!:laugh2:

Bob and Michael: Welcome to RD, hope to see you guys on track soon. Don't hesitate to post in this forum or email me if you have questions, I was also new just a few months ago.

Cheers,

Ian

Hi Bob and Michael,
Welcome to RaceDepartment, i'm sure you guys fit right in.
If you are anything like all the other americans (and canadians for that matter) i regularly race with i'm sure we have 2 welcome additions to an ever evolving NA community.
Hope to see you soon on track...

BTW, if you see a crazy guy from Holland lurking around that'll be me....

Cheers Marcel

Marcel vd Aa · Jan 3, 2009

Omg Eric no wonder the misses invests in your less hurtfull and expensive hobbies...

Hi Bob,

I'm glad to see another new guy joining the group. I don't want to drift too far off topic, but congrats on your bowl win! I am an Oklahoma State alum so my heart is still broken...but it really was a fun game to watch!

Regards,
Michael

Bob Luneski · Jan 4, 2009

Thanks Michael. It was a great game that could have gone either way. With no press, Masoli came in under the radar and really stepped up in this game and so did the defense. I don't think the OSU secondary expected to be flattened by the Oregon quarterback. You'all had a great season and did the Big-12 proud.

Are those photos of you Eric?? And I thought I was a risk taker!

As far as my wife is concerned, after 23 years of marital bliss we have worked out a negotiated settlement. If my hobbies get out of hand I face a series of escalating penalties ranging from additional honey do's for minor infringements to new furniture or additional cats for major ones. After a houseful of new furniture and several new cats, I try to avoid major infractions

Since we have a WTCC 87 on 1/11, I set the 1/25 to be a Mini race.
