i was racing in a national cup 8 years ago...i was young and silly back then. im actually embarassed about that, so not many know about it :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
Huh? Details? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

well, i had a chrash every other race...always too fast or something. when i managed to finish i was usually very good :) actually everyone was amazed i was able to drive that fast in my first year...i started racing soon after i got my drivers license, so i was the youngest in the competition. i was even in magazines and on tv...a real celebrity :) |

slovenia...not much of a competition :) although there were always competitors from other countries as well. we were even driving on formula 1 circuits (as we often had races outside slovenia)...not f1 cars though heh. i was driving a clio-the same car that won the championship a year before i got it...i didn't win but it was fun anyway. i got to know a lot of fun people back then, and we had good time...that was the best part really. |

i just checke don internet...the price for a car like that (should be a bit less for a racing car i guess) is about 10.000$ overhere. you seem to get everything for cheapper...a friend of mine is getting a motorbike honda cbr 600 for about 2000$...the price for those bikes overhere is 7.000$. i might get one of those if there are going to be more...i'd make good money on it :) as for pics of my racing days..i'll see if i can find some.. and stories..it's been a real long time and my memory ain't that good. i remember i slided off the road on my first race, and luckly i got stuck to some bushes, coz otherwise i'd fell a long way down..god knows what would have happened. this way not i was only lucky to not get hurt, but also the car wasn't badly damaged..ahh. this competition was made out of rally alike races and circuit races - i liked these one better, coz of safty and it was more fun to drive with other people, for all the pushing, overtaking, duels...i was training so much at that time i'd probably still remember all the curves even now. i often rented cars and went there a week before every race just so i knew roads perfectly before the races...had quite a few close encounters on trainings as well heh. before i started i haven't had any experience with racing...i got noticed when my and my buddies some times rented cars and went to a racing circuit, and i was able to match the times of the racing cars with a casul rent-a-car...i was really mad in those days :) |
