thanks PTarga!
Hey PTarga, thanks for the welcome! I'm glad to see someone else from H-burg representin' on here! 
Yep, I'm a PCA member for several years now, most of which was for PCA Potomac when I lived in DC. I've done a few of the CPA autocrosses so far, but none yet in the Turbo. Hoping to get out for the September one.
Feel free to shoot me a PM if you want so we don't completely disrupt this thread.

Va. drivers beware!
I don't know if this is the right area to post it but I think my fellow pcar lovers, in Virginia, should see this. http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/18/1818.asp
I hope this isn't a repost.

Driving as little as 15 MPH over the limit on an interstate highway now brings six license demerit points, a fine of up to $2500, up to one year in jail, and a new mandatory $1050 tax.

I am so happy I left that high tax state and moved to sunny florida.
I never liked the fact it was the only one of 50 states where radar detectors are illegal.
When I moved here (after 30 yrs in VA) the first thing I purchased was a V1.

Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Texas also impose a somewhat more modest driver responsibility tax which they apply to out-of-state residents."
