Ryan's out the 20th. I'll start a thread about doing it on 4/3 and see how that goes. I can't wait for them to opeen that track, it looks real sweet. Mark, do you remember how long it took to do 1 lap? F1's track 1 takes about 22 seconds.bazooka joe said:so is the 20th still on for f1 boston? i'm ready! i did the f1 outdoors in bridgewater last summer, it was awsome too! we should try that one to someday next year...?my mechanic bougt a cart last year, hin and his brother race twice a week, nice track, banked turn, real nice!

Yeah, that was one thing I liked, already had perfect rims for the car and plenty of subtle style. Don't like having to spend 2k on a new car just to get it looking ok.
And on the hatch / wagon battle, I'm going to put my vote in at "wagon". What hatch back has a roof rack? What wagon doesn't have a roof rack? Mazda 3 is a hatch, MP5 is a wagon in my eyes.

OK, lets start with some definitions - what is a 'station wagon'? Well, the very first station wagons were called 'depot hacks' - they worked primarily around train depots as hacks (taxicabs). The modified back ends that made them depot hacks were necessary to carry large amounts of luggage - everyone traveled by train then, remember, and you needed a car that could comfortably carry people and large amounts of luggage from the train station to home. They were also called 'carryall's' and 'suburbans' (a name Plymouth used on their wagons until the late 1970's). 'Station wagon' was just another derivative of 'depot hack'; they were vehicles that were used as wagons (to carry passengers and cargo) from (railroad) stations.
Some people define station wagon history as starting with the 1923 Star (the first 'production' station wagon), and ending with the 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon. This definition embodies only the classic, stretched wheelbase, rear-wheel drive vehicle, derived from a standard production automobile (usually sedan or hardtop) chassis.
Stationwagon.com's definition is actually more broad, encompassing the earlier depot hacks, and continuing into the smaller, front, rear, or all-wheel drive wagons of today. While today's vehicles are certainly not full-sized, they continue the tradition of being built from a (sometimes stretched) sedan chassis, and embodying some form of rear tailgate.
