So time for the pics and info. I left friday morning at just before 5am. I headed east on 58 to 395.

Once I got to Bishop I decided to avoid the beauty route and go though the straight flat route. It is very smooth and scenic this way but, I think I found BFE to the least. Well 455 miles later I pulled into Fernley Raceway. What a beautiful place, the track is up on top of a hill. The track was purchased by a new owner a year ago or so and they are working to make the facility top notch. The track as we ran it was over 4 miles long with 32 apexes or 23 turns. It has about a 120ft of elevation change. The hill is a blast, the hill down is fun but a little on the pucker side. The pic of the down hill does not do it justice.


Now on to the goodies, I had few small bugs to work out Friday when I got there. New car stuff. Once I got that sorted I we were able to do some low speed laps around the track and start to learn the track.
On Saturday we got 5 sessions I got to have Mary ride along 2 times. She really helped me learn the line very fast. She also gives you confidence to push just a bit harder then you would by yourself. ( EX - Don't you touch that brake or I will kill you ). I was still breaking in the engine and bedding the brakes so I was not the F-15 fighter jet that Mr Shipka was, But I can also say I might be one of the few that have been passed by James at a buck 20 down the front stretch just before he hits the limiter saling into turn one. That is quite the sound. It even backfires like a C6R once in a while. James drives his car faster then anyone would guess for a nice as the car is. Ok time for some pics.


I'm standing on some really tall box, Yeah that's it.
