I will be heading to bertil roose friday night so I bought tickets to see the movie up there in the poconos. They have something like imax in the theater so it will be nice to see/hear that M23 on a big screen.
It should be a great movie.

I just emailed Dennis from Roos to let him know you're coming. Definitely talk to him about getting your competition license. It's a full Regional SCCA license that you'll get.

Those F2000 cars are a BLAST!!! If you feel the back end getting lose - just give it some throttle and the weight transfers to the back end and bam, the grip is back! I saw so many people loop the cars around because they hit the brake once it started to let go. They are really easy to catch too. Much more progressive than a cart.

Also, when pushing in the clutch, watch your shin on the steering rack. I crushed mine the first time I pushed in the clutch - huge gash/bruise on my shin! When shifting, don't try to "push" it or "finesse" it into gear - just ram it as hard as you can. The shifter mechanism isn't that great - can be lose and vague, so just punch it as hard as you can into gear and you'll be fine. Those were the biggest issue of getting used to the cars. One of the guys didn't drive manuals at all (knows how to, but drives a 458 on the street and tracks a Radical V8 - I know, tough life) and he wasn't fast because he just couldn't get the heel-toe or the hang of working the shifter.
