Winter nostalgia...

When winter rolls around (I know, it's not winter yet!) and the racing season is on hold, I tend to look at old racing photos on my computer and think fondly of cars from my past. Here are a couple of the photos I dug up, one for each car, from the oldest to the most recent. 

I attended my very first driving events with this car in 1998. It wasn't suited for the track, but at least it didn't break.
In 1999, I bought a Neon that was supposed to be more economical and more suited to track driving.
In 2002, I bought my first Civic, which was also my first "real" race car (i.e. with a roll cage)
In 2003, I bought this old rally Mazda 323, also with a full cage
I built this 2000 Civic coupe in 2004 and kept it until 2014, going through several engines through the years.
I bought this 2002 Civic SiR in 2016 and it was fun right out of the box. Too bad I crashed it in the summer of 2017...
The latest Civic track car, another 2000 coupe, is a work in progress, but already a capable track car.
