If I was that way - I wouldn't let anyone drive them...


It's only fun when you're with your friends - and they're having fun!

It took about 5 seconds for that to register, and I slammed on the brakes and did a u-turn in the middle of 121. I drove back, and the place was wide open. It was a weekday, and some cars were running practice laps, others were being worked on in the garages. I parked and just walked around the track for a while. Such a cool experience!
It is beautiful. That is my all time favorite track, even though her & I have "history."

Thought this might be a better track prep video



Appropriate car, his lines look pretty good, and he's smooth.....IMHO.

That car is FAST -- and make note of the steam roller tires on it!


First he picks off Chet (117) --- then Pete (004) -- then finally Charley (35) -- and finally hunts down Kevin Sitner.... all the skinny tire cars fall one by one....


I've seen this purple people eater run with our group before and it goes like stink. Nice driving too!

I was in the back of a minivan with three other people in it and had another car following us in our group... This was my view of Sonoma as we drove past...



There was even a WRL race there that coming weekend too...

That's too bad you missed it Lance. It is an awesome track. I've driven most of the top road courses in America and "Sears Point" ... as it was named for decades ... is my fav.

I'm looking forward to Aug 2-3 with g-dub & Siegmeister. Gaetano's coming as long as his car is good to go.

Who else is planning to attend ?
