Another new member and racing fanatic
Hello everyone,
My name is Ryan and I'm from York, South Carolina. I am a first year mechanical engineering major and I am transferring from York Technical College in Rock Hill, SC. I will admit that I don't know much about tuning cars or putting upgrades on them. But what I lack in that I make up for in racing knowledge. On a good weekend I will watch around 5 races. Besides that I am a huge sim racer. My sim of choice is Forza Motorsport 3 until Forza Motorsport 4 releases. My current car is a stock 2008 Ford Focus SES 4-Door. It's not necessarily fast but it is fun to drive and that is all that matters to me. |

RE: Another new member and racing fanatic
It's not about what you drive or how fast you are, it's about the fun. Welcome!

Thanks, I can't wait to try my hand at auto cross. It is something I have been wanting to do for two years.

RE: Another new member and racing fanatic
Welcome to the boards! I think I remember you from the first meeting. I started out with a 4-door Saturn when I was a freshman, so don't feel bad
 . I beat the crap out of it until it begged for mercy.

RE: Another new member and racing fanatic
I didn't even have a car my first year at Clemson so you are already a step up from where I was. Welcome to the boards.

RE: Another new member and racing fanatic
Welcome to the club! The more you hang around, the more you'll learn. The more you learn, the more you realize what you don't know. That's how it goes for me, anyway.
(btw, sorry, but I have to say it - Forza isn't a sim  )

RE: Another new member and racing fanatic
Nope, it's too fun to be a sim!
