We were waiting for all those Shelby Club Sunday drivers to get out of Greg's way. :unibrow:

I had a great time today and to my surprise my boys had a great time also. I asked the boys if they wanted to go to Buttonwillow with me and they said yes so it looks like I finally got them to start likeing going to the track.

We watched Charlie race from the garage area and then we (me, Dave, and the boys)watched Greg from the grass area just below Earnhart Terrace. Turn 3 is one of my favorite places to watch at Sonoma Raceway because near the end of the runs when the tires are slick the cars start to get sideways and sometimes spin 180's. Greg looked really good out there and I can see how excited he is with his new hobby. Good stuff!! :thumbsup:

This is the first event I have ever gone to where there was so much carnage, lol. I think there were about 4 accidents today which involved a car and a wall.

Uh.... wait.... I forgot to tell you that I fell off Charley's Segway... Yep... flat on my face (where's the toothless grin icon?)....

So I'd ridden it earlier -- with Charley's "instructions" (unrepeatable in a public forum)... So I needed it to go to talk to the guys about fixing my car... Sure! He says... but I didn't know you actually have to turn it on to make all the gyros etc (and the machine) work... So I jump on and lean forward - it goes nowhere - so I lean some more - it goes nowhere... so..... Yeah, okay - it starts with dumb and ends with azz..... I lean more and now I just fall flat. SPECTACULARLY GOOD FUN FOR ALL WATCHING....

It'll buff out...

I'm glad you came out Gae! Glad the boys enjoyed the day. I love the track... and maybe will do better next time (at least I didn't SMASH a wall... just swapped a little paint with it). There really were some NASCAR style wrecks out there!

Oh man what an eventful day! :rofl:

Hopefully the motor carnage is minimal.

aww man that sucks, but it could have been worst I suppose.

I have a feeling BW is going to be packed with rental cars on the day.
