Dont worry he is real. Very involved with motorsports at a very high level. Very suprised to see him here. Man he opened pandoras box
Anyhow, what I see is a launched agenda, that for once recognises the fact that we dont have ton of cash to throw at the hobbie. The funds set aside by corporate sponsors is damn impressive. I have to look at the times during the testing and at the Mid west GTG to say that this is a car that can run pretty strong with the Miata group dispite being design to be cost effective for the end user and potencially a car you car drive to work. Face it guys, Focus's are easy to drive!
This is an opinion and take for that, but NASA (at least out here) is growing fast. Dont think for a second that the corporate guys that put this together at Ford and other places didnt look at the SCCA. Its the right place to be with a car you can actually race cheep. There is some help to pay for it (Amazing) and the cars have shown decent speed.
This is about really racing, going at it! Not having the fastest tuner car or 50k Focus. There are venues for that too, just call Redlinetrack events and sign up for the time attack. I have learned, and continue to learn that message boards have a wild demograghic, and I have learned a ton here at FC as well as made contacts. Our mystery friend has fogotten more about true race car set up than I know. For what its worth his opinion is highly regarded by myself and his suggestions (when I can get them) on car set up are ALWAYS tried.
