Howdy Fellas, I live up in Canada near Toronto. I started out with G+ slot cars at a hobby shop when I was @ 6, playing the Indy 500 game on ATARI 2600 with rotary joysticks @30 years ago, RC cars, dirt bikes, go karts and really enjoy good clean racing. I have almost all the Forza games but really only started online racing Jan 2014 with Forza 5 and spent most of my time in the X class with F1 cars and later in the R & P class with the DBR9 and Mazda 787. I bought the Thrustmaster TX a week before Project Cars came out, later bought the GTE wheel, pedals, shifter and have done close to 400 online races in Project Cars between playing on XBOX One and PC. I miss the smell of the red gloves I wore riding my dirtbike in the winter when I was @ 13 yo. I rented a car and did a couple of laps on the Nurburgring Nordschleife, I freakin love this shite as I'm sure you do too. Wanna race? Braken99 Attachments:

I miss the smell of the red gloves I wore riding my dirtbike in the winter when I was @ 13 yo. Gasoline, Sweat, and Awesome. And how they'd crunch for the first couple minutes after putting them on. I was never much of a racer though the rest of my family was heavily involved in Southern California Motocross. I preferred open desert fun and Motox Grand Prix. Growing up in town with one of the most historic dirt grand prix in the US was a treat, though the only good thing to be said about the town: Lake Elsinore Grand Prix Welcome

Last time I was there for the races was 2001 or 2002, Moved away from there several years ago. The Grand Prix was awesome, and that region of SoCal "Inland Empire" is kind of a Motocross Mecca with some great historic tracks like Saddleback Park and Glen Helen Raceway, but that area has also gone to hell with crime and drugs and all that. Was just too much.

I just watched a good episode of Frontline about Chapo Guzman. Pretty crazy stuff.
