Hello,
I wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. I'm Mike from Michigan in the US and I am very interested in the Exocet primarily but the Rocket also. I have never built a kit and the Exocet looks like a first timers dream for ease of build and costs.
I autocross and do trackdays regularly and raced for a couple seasons in SCCA club racing in a spec series. I built my street car into a racecar in 16 days to make the licensing school in time and then just added through the season with no DNF's pr DNS's and I never finished last in class or run group so I met my goals. Trackdays are my main focus now and for the mid and near future and the Exocet looks like a perfect match for me.
On a personal level I am married without children and will likely retire in 5 years. I have worked on cars all my life and it was my job title in the Army but for the last 20 years it has been more a hobby then a job. There are three tracks in the area I go to mostly and another three in a reasonable drive. I have had a Subaru WRX, Saab 92X (WRX wagon copy) Eagle Talon(AWD turbo 2.0 litre) Miata MX5, a couple Ford Focuses, and a couple Dodge Neons as my daily driver and trackday cars.
I look forward to learning as much as possible and hopefully soon getting into an Exocet project. The group here seems quite sharp with lots of knowledge.
