"My car is one of the slowest/least modded out of all mentioned here thus far, but its probably seen more track time over the past few years than almost any car here!"

Not sure about that. mysvtftoy has about 50 track days on his car.

Thats why I said almost. Also he has been tracking his car since 2004, I didn't start until 2007 where I did 6 days. Mine has seen 30 days in total now over the past 3 summers, 24 of those between this year and last. So I am sure that if I don't have more than him over the past 2 that I am very near his total.

Most other cars nominated have giant mod lists and big power to flaunt. I don't so I tried to highlight how much me and my little turd have done since I started to get faster, and thats all been working on the driver, not so much the car.

Regardless, I nominated Kim for a reason ( though he has won once already) The car is awesome and he is tirelessly improving it and his driving skillZ.

my car is prolly in the mid to upper 30's in events now too, its seen alot of its track time in the past 2-3 years

**mysvtftoy** · 09-14-2009, 06:43 PM

I nominate jimy_f_84, Dfocusin, Terrible1, dhardison, McSVT

I am technically eligible again for our FOTM, although it is always nice to see someone different being honored for participation here on FJ and within the wider community

I do appreciate being nominated, though. With that in mind, here are some (reposted) images of the car being flogged:

My signature has links to in-car cams, more pics, and specs. There have been a good many changes since May 2007. I'm hoping that from here on in, $$$ spent will mostly involve keeping the money pit in track-ready condiition (expensive enough in and of itself).

Cheers, fellow travellers.

**azbobbybooshay_10** · 09-15-2009, 03:22 AM

I nominate sleeperlove. I got to ride along for a session at Mid-Ohio and had a great time.

Jeff's not only a great driver, but also always willing to lend a hand to a fellow enthusiast (as are many of the others, I'm sure).

**djjerme** · 09-16-2009, 02:27 AM

I nominate jimy_f_84, Dfoucsin and Svtftoy... I would nominate myself, but I don't have enough seat time to qualify...
