I just spent THREE days at Sonoma Raceway (Sears Point)... for the NorCal Shelby Mini Nats. It was a huge event as this is the 50th Anniversary of the GT350.
I spent two days working with Ron Sutton on the completion of the Mustang set up - and his excellent coaching on my lines and strategies - and one day tooling around the track with the Lotus. Track Junky came up and ran two days... Rustomatic came up to check it out and blab a bit... Jeff Richied came by two days and brought a friend.
We had a blast - and it's the people that you run and hang with that make it the most fun.
The best part was when Peter Brock walked in the garage - asked who owned the yellow Mustang... and after shaking hands - declared it "THE MOST BEAUTIFUL" car in the whole place (there were a couple hundred cars running). He walked around the car pointing out all the little details and he noticed them ALL!! He also said - to the chagrin of Charlie - that "that is the hood we should have put on them". LOL... It has a "cowl" style hood instead of the standard little "scoop". He spent 10 minutes talking with us. What a classy gentleman. I'd love to spend the day walking around with him and listening to the stories he must be able to tell.
Sutton took a pic of "us" together but I'm not sure he has the skills to send it to me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
