Thanks for the warning.... I'll remember to bring plenty of ammo.

So I know we "spar" about passing and lap times and on and on... it's all good fun.

The thing I think about when everyone on here is spending big dough to have huge horsey power - and the latest in fat tires... and the most awesome clutch in the history of the universe.... is --- I bought this Lotus for 60 grand... and spent another 10 or so grand on getting it race worthy... so about 1/3rd to a half of what building a Camaro runs these days... and other than change oil between events all you do to drive this car is set the tire pressures. Yes -- there's some passing going on in this short video. This little POS car makes it appear as though the others in the group are applying brakes on the straights...LOL

The first 'Vette is a ZR1 that is tracked regularly and you've seen it fly by the Mustang in other videos.

........and it uses 8-9 gallons of 92 octane for the entire day.

Nice driving Greg!... looks like car and driver are getting dialed in :thumbsup:

Great pics Sieg. I knew there had to be a reason you were invited.

Thanks Dale! I hope you enjoyed the USCA event!! We had a ball at Sonoma.










FINALLY SOMEONE IS CATCHING ON!!!

Norcal Shelby
 

Looks like I missed a great day at Mini Nats
Gaetano... wondering how many times you passed
that white Fox Bodied #9 Mustang.. one of my buddies
Dave Murry and he is really fast.. chases the Winston
cup cars....I don't think he watched track junky pulling away:)

I hope to bring the Pantera to Thunderhill in October
Checkered flag (started by Pantera owners) is running
on the Monday afterwards so I may hit Sunday to learn
the new track as my buddy Viper boy has already been
there once so I don't want to give him too much of an
edge. It would be great to hang out with you guys.. try
not to break anything

Pantera has been a pain lately..going to the Italiano show
in Monterey next week and it seems to not like car shows
Burned the rotor up one week.. on the hook home and running
an hour later.. then on fire the next week.. blew an oil cooler line
but it burned mostly oil on the headers that set the air cleaner
on fire and killed the motor.. two squirts with the Fire Extinquisher
and it was out.. what a mess to clean up. it is still dripping oil
out of the frame rails..

All good now and new lines.. thinking about that suppression
system I never put on the car

Panteracer

That's funny. He was my biggest competitor. Stayed on my tail but could not ever get around me lap after lap. I'll post some pics.
It would be great to chat with him. If you talk to him can you find out his lap times. I think I was a bit faster but not by much.

Bob --- I think it's a thing with FORD motors.... None of my Chevrolet stuff breaks.


Sorry to hear of the foibles! And would love to see ya in October! Hope the Ferd will be done but if not I'll run the little 1.8 liter Loti - it kicks ass on Fords and Chevy's.

I can see why the white car couldn't get around, the jack ass in the orange car would give him a point by. :action-smiley-027:
