Who's making fun of my avatar now?!

SilverBack · 07-05-2010, 06:14 PM

Pit violation! We can't see your face

*tomato* · 07-05-2010, 06:40 PM

hahaha!!

yeah, I can probably find one with my face close up but it prolly won't help much because of the glasses and the helmet is covering 95% of my face anyway!

I'll see what I can find.

These are the best pix I can find of myself right now.

Shopping with my little buddy.

Wow, SolarVitz, that ship model in the background is a real beauty! Models like that are kinda rare; the only other examples I've seen were in a museum in Exeter...

For the record... that is so bad ass! I'm incredibly jealous!

*tomato* · 07-06-2010, 03:27 PM

aawwwww, don't be. You can do it too. I'm pretty sure they're still doing that course

One thing, though, if you're sensitive to heat, don't do it in the middle of the summer.

I wasn't prepared for the heat factor. I did it in the middle of the Summer, and by noon, with the fireproof suit / helmet, it felt like 120 degrees in there (was probably well over 100 degrees out in the sun anyway). The engine probably releases some heat as well, and you're pretty much laying right under it - or it feels that way.

So takes that in consideration if you register. Otherwise it was grrrrrrrrrrreat! I need to do it again.

*tomato* · 07-06-2010, 03:31 PM

Hey, we're getting some pretty cool pictures up in this thread lately! Who knew we have such handsome forum members? ;)

(CL, great pic with your mom!)

I wish I had the $5g to spend on the race course.

Unfortunately for me, it's all about saving to try to buy a home. It's never ending.

Oh I know all about racing in the heat!! I've done track days on my bike at Streets of Willow and Buttonwillow... in the middle of summer. I'm pretty sure that when I was at Streets of Willow (near Palmdale) it was well over a hundred. Now factor in full leathers, helmet, and a hot bike between my legs. It was torture! Well, not the machinery between my legs anyway. Just the heat! lol

For fun.... (I can't remember which I've posted on here before, but I'll add my favorites again)

Passing on the inside/The rest of my avatar pic:

*tomato* · 07-06-2010, 06:11 PM

^

I remember you

Pix like that ^ you don't forget
Plus, if memory serves, you said you had a CRX as a project at one point

You could post a whole thread of these pix ^ as far as I'm concerned.

Hey, I'm with ya, saving money FTW!!

But you have to budget for fun stuff as well now and then.

Yeah... I'm the one who's intro thread went on instant lock down. Huge bummer when you're trying to get into a new forum. lol

And yes, I had an 88 crx hf that I ended up selling to make room in my garage for the bike. At the time I was working on a turbo ls/vtec and just finished blueprinting the motor (just about to sleeve the block) when the finances went dry for the project. Oh well... I'd love to get back into it, but I have better priorities. :(

*tomato* · 07-06-2010, 06:16 PM

Oh, yeah, that's right, I remember that too ;)
Yeah, sorry about that.

Was before my time, but I think I understand what happened.
Well, don't let that stop you from making new friends and posting stuff :)

speaking of making friends ...

*tomato* · 07-06-2010, 06:17 PM
