      Hello from Michigan

      I am new here



      My wife and I attended my first Autocross last weekend in Coloma Michigan and had a great time! MOTOR STATE CHALLENGE
      After spending many years in the offshore boating world as a hobby I have now sold all the boats and am looking into a different form of fun We are starting to look at cars to participate more actively in these events.
      After attending our first Autocross, Road Tour, and Road Course event in our 2000 Corvette C-5 I think we need something else to run with This type of sport also will fit well with what I do for a living (more about that later after I check out the terms of use on here)

      I am looking forward to some dialogue here as I have been active on offshore boating sites for many years but not as much on the car sites as I should be both for work and fun

      Marc

      Welcome Marc. I'm originally from Grand Rapids but currently in Switzerland. My project is still in GR and I get back a total of about 4 weeks a year to work on it. It's not much, but it's a lot of hours when I'm back...

      What car are you looking for?

      Are you looking at PT'ing a pony car, muscle car or less traditional? It may also be helpful to find out exactly what you want to do with it, i.e. run in a class that has certain rules. Sometime the class will narrow down what the best automobile is.
      You say you have dabbled in Road Touring? Is that the SCCA Road Touring? I would love to do that in a TL or a CTS-V!

      Welcome Marc,
      Glad you had a good time at Motorstate. Nice meeting you and your wife. Good luck with a PT "toy". It has to be cheaper than offshore boating!

      Welcome to the dark side Marc from another X Offshore guy LOL (I owned the Cobra Powered "TAZZ" cat back in the late 80's & early 90's)....

      My friend Gary Montano (Drambuie On Ice) and I had a lot of fun on the water back then.... I'm sorry we really didn't get much of a chance to chat at Motor State, however I'm sure we'd have a lot of fun stories to trade from our experiences on the water....

      BTW My wife Lynn and I had the White & Black 72RS Camaro and the White on white 73 TA with the Carbon Fiber hood at the Motor State Challenge...
