Come early in the afternoon. You might be able to catch me picking up the parts of my car that fall off on the track . . .

I'll be "shaking down" my entire car in the "slow" group (on Saturday).

Thankfully other groups are willing to pay for (or are granted) 100+ db days there. :thumbsup:

Yes.... you are so right!


Track fees for Laguna Seca are no secret -- you want a 92db day -- the fee is $8,000 M-F -- Weekend is $10,000

Want a 105db day? $20,000 (per day)

Sorry for your debacle Nate! WTF......


Sadly Rob wrenched on BigWing all weekend and didn't have near as much seat time as he should have had.... He does now have a PhD in fluid dynamics though!! Even his damn CoolShirt hoses leaked! LOL OMG... that was the last straw! A quick O ring fixed it right up - but not before he'd wet - er I mean - his suit was soaked.

He (Rob) did lay down some smokin' hot laps in Old Yellar! So he had that goin' for him. Last lap of the season for the old girl and he rips off a 2:07.55 (running the Crow's Nest!) --- she's off to McGee's (a shop at Sonoma Raceway) to pull the engine - get it over to Borello for freshening.... Jerico freshening etc... get it ready to sell. The new car should be done soon enough....

The old girl is magic. A testament to Ron Suttons grasp of every part of a track car. He took a nice early Mustang and made it into a near perfect track toy.

The car is totally neutral. The motor REVS, it makes the most amazing sounds and even better power. The steering feels great and the brakes require a good amount of pressure but the reward you with all the woah down little pony you could ask for; easy to modulate and hard to overpower the tires. And the tires, the little 245 Hoosiers, they just stick. Sure when you unleash the little Windsor up front the car will dance and skate around but it always seems to be clawing at the pavement and it's easy to get her pointed back straight if she steps out.

I can't thank Greg enough for trusting me to pilot Old Yellar on T-Hill. A great track, a fast track and a magic car to tour that track with. I can't do the car justice with my description of how good it really is. I wish I had a few more laps to try and do her justice with some better lap times but the laps I ran in her were the most fun I have ever had on track. It was like being Ken Miles in the mid 60s for a few minuets.





piloting a vintage feeling Ford around a racetrack is sweet but piloting it around Laguna Seca would probably be even better.
