If you watch the first video I posted of driving at Thunderhill in the "new to me" Mustang….. I think I was hitting at least 50 on the straights….


And you know what --- I was grinin' ear to ear and having the time of my life.


Like anything else we do - it's about LEARNING and having fun doing it. Every time I go out - I think about how many people NEVER get a chance to do any of this… So just the fact that "we're" out there is FANTASTIC.

I agree 110%. It's all about.. seat time seat time seat time!! And seat time is FUN TIME :cheers:

That pretty much sums it up! :thumbsup:

I've always felt the slowest person on the track was still having a real good time........in their mind and that's what really matters. They're usually as much or more fun to benchrace with as the fast guys. Especially if the size of their eyes when telling their story counts! :D

Jerry not sure how I missed this thread! Had a chance to drive her in anger yet?

Gonna be fun!

Yes we had her out, we had some issues, but it was a blast. I have a lot of learning to do "feathering the throttle" is one of them (DAMN drag racers).

I also got to take my truck out on the asphalt oval there for some extra seat time..that was as fun as the road course.

I brought a video camera but no one used it,, so here's the only phone vid we have from the first session


On Thanksgiving weekend i got to drive this on the 3/8 dirt oval i got 3 20 min sessions

These were over on the big track.I was told it was the VRA big bash event??

Some more

last ones

Very cool pictures, thanks for sharing. Would have loved to hear and watch those A Sedans circle the track a few times!!

My new toy
 

Very nice truck
In my Pantera group one of the vendors brings one
out and the driver and I have ran our Panteras together
He is an SCCA National champion several times and a very
good driver.. We go and what we call play.. his truck and
driving skills are better but one of the few I will go wheel
to wheel hard and not worry about bending things up

I have a few videos of the back of the truck.. he will
come up on me and pass me down the front straight and
then slow up so we can go thru the turns side by side
We went past a Cobra replica earlier this year at 110 mph
thru the turn at Firebird with me on the inside and he was
on the outside.. not sure if the Cobra knew what to do

good times.. and lots of rock chips on my car from that truck:headspin:

Paneracer Norcal Bob

did a little clean up with the toggles

before & after And yes that is a trans brake button

One of the issues we had was a loss of oil pressure in right turns ..It had an oval track pan and p/u so I fixed it.. i shortened the p/u and made another trap door boxing in the p/u in the pan (a hinge was added after the pic was taken..While i was in there, i changed all the rod and main bearings too

before and after

I also hurt the Jerico

more pics

There is a video somewhere, if i can find it I'll post it

Sounds like you all have some FUN!!!

.......hurt?

I'd hate to see what your definition of destroyed is. :sieg:

Destroyed?? There'd be nothing left at all :lmao:

Send me what you can't use.......I'll turn it into some sort of garage art for ya. :D

Ouch! That's some hard driving.

I think Alex into the tire wall might be cheaper.


Ouch!!!

Jerdawg........found a new shift lever for ya.

Hey Jerr,

What is specifically wrong with your Jerrico ?

You have a PM Ron

Nice handy work on the pan and pick up Jer. :thumbsup:

Nice! The dark green #27 1968 Camaro is my friends car. Here's an in car video from him at that race.
And that Jerrico... ouch!

Talk about chewing them up and spitting them out!!! Thanks for posting the video...too much fun.

Fixed! :thumbsup:

If you want to play you got to pay, I've done worse lol.. That #27 Camaro hauls ass for what it is, my friend and I were talking to him about his car in the pits.

I fixed it good Sieggy :innocent: I'll be back with a PG

And we call him --- DA LAPPER!!




EEEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAAA



The truck appears to handle pretty well Jerr!

What!? :sieg:

We changed all the fluids, moved the seat closer then took it out just as you saw it GW, It handles better then anything I have ever driven. And I was no where close to it's full potenal....... YET ;)... I'll be back out soon

PG aka Power Glide. Yup, call me crazy, stupid or?? Were gona run a direct drive oval track 2spd automatic until i get a new 4spd crash box. I also got me some used dirt track tires

How about Nucking Futs! :unibrow:

Kidding, whatever it takes to be back on the track modulating pedals works with me - and I have no problem what so ever with dirt ovals!

You'll be requesting a new screen name in no time.......DriftDawgy!
