Oxymoron?

Thankfully Chet is OK, wadding up a car is a risk we all take when at the track and things can go wrong and unrecoverable in a millisecond.

You can develop strategies to minimize your risk exposure, especially in your line selection. Do a track walk whenever possible and pay close attention to potential high risk sections of the track. Carefully analyze track maps, pay attention to corner entry and exit trajectories with respect to vertical obstructions.

Could a wider entry line into a corner give you a faster and safer exit line?

Taking proper safety measures is more than simply having all the best safety equipment you can afford. :thumbsup:

Well except Chet. Glad to so old Weld is
still out there tearing it up

Hope to see some of you at the Shelby event in October
as I am running thunderhill the next day with a bunch of Panteras

Greg was haulin' azz on Saturday. Fun to watch. That's what got Chet in trouble. He was trying to hang with Greg through 8-10. Sorry to see Chet's Mustang smashed up, but Chet was ok. Sore ... but OK.

I didn't rave about some fancy a$$ beer, split it 3 ways and than not finish...:BlahBlah:
And even though I witnessed it, I did not push that lil girl in the pool! :lmao:

I did have a lot of fun hanging with the motley crew

What amazed me was the car ran after installing a distributor with a hammer.
My ear is still ringing from when it back fired.

I gonna assume Gregette is not on Lat-g, cause payback is gonna be a bitch if she saw this pick. That's one girl I wouldn't piss off.

Classic GW.

We should have a MEME contest.

GregWeld 08-09-2016 12:35 PM

It's not fair to pick on dead guys before they're gone!!


Plenty of time to talk about me after I'm gone.....:drowninga:

I was right next to that back fire!

The other back fire I used a zoom lens.

That's not Gregette......I shall name that one Crackette. :unibrow:

Gregette saw the picture on my camera and said you would......I said you're damn right. Everything is fair game with good equipment.

Good times!

After a long weekend with the mods, I would think they all start to look alike....

^^ Did you get permission to post that? I think there was a big press release or SEMA reveal associated with that car.... I mean, after 3 years there should be.

:peepwall:

:D

I'm stealing that tow strap through the front facial and duct taped down trick!

That is slick and will work perfect on my car!!

Yep --- Sonoma has some areas the others we run don't.


It was the perfect weekend except that Chet crashed his car -- Charley's new car is slower than his old car -- I was too weak to drive Sunday -- I have called to get the Lotus sent back down from Portland -- Gwen loves her new Porsche Turbo S drop top. There Bob. Is that "the other car" you referenced??

clill 08-12-2016 02:18 PM

Gwen and Greg aka "T-Rex" are on the run after writing a bad check to pay for the Porsche...... The dealership is probably offering a reward by now.

Gwen asked me "do you have any cash"?? SURE! I always have cash! I had $6 -- She had $18 --- together we could scrape up $24 !!

I wrote a check on an account that was CLOSED. So?!?! The dealership didn't give me the spare key or the owners books. They MAY get paid when I receive that stuff. Besides. We haven't even gotten the car home yet!

When they call again.... I'm using your line.

In the meantime we are acting like Bonnie and Clyde --- pot smoke billowing from the windows.... screaming up the Interstate towards Tahoe @ a blistering Friday afternoon pace of California stop and go.

That's too funny! Enjoy your road trip :thumbsup: well deserved!

You looked good out there on Sat. Unfortunately for Chet he thought he was as fast as you through that section. The important thing was he was ok and he was in good spirits afterwards.

Are you bringing the Lotus to T-Hill?

I will PM you the address to send the royalty checks Lance. Just remember to apply the tape so you don't get dings in the hood like the idiot with the Orange car did. :)

LOL... I think I can see them in the picture!! Duly noted...

clill 08-12-2016 06:04 PM

I waved both Chet and Greg by because my tires were not up to temp and I suspect neither were Chet's. Greg was running Hoosier A6 autocross tires that come right up to temp. Plus someone with a Panoz has just oiled down the entire track because his engine builder had left a plug out of his engine block. So driving around a track with greasesweep and cold tires is not a good recipe.

Just FYI ---- They STILL have not been paid!!


LOL


Eventually the bankers will make it all work. We'd had a couple meetings (in which I was stoned out of my mind on my cancer treatment) where "the boys" (my bankers dudes) were pretty concerned about my "ability" to have much cognitive function.... Which is working out pretty well for me, because they just shake their heads and set to work fixing whatever mess I managed to create.:bur2: :bur2: :bur2:
