Greg, in case you have not done a track event yet. Prepared to be hooked!

I've done the ZO6 experience (3 day) at Bondurant and the ZO6's at Spring Mountain... I totally get how addictive it is... and how much fun it is! I almost bought one of the fox body mustangs Bondurant was selling when they switched to Chevrolet - and have kicked myself ever since for passing that opportunity.

I think this is WAY too much car for me... but couldn't pass it up. I've seen it - and it's too nice not to grab! Now I'll just have to not embarrass myself more than I already have.....

I was looking at the safety requirements for the Northern California Shelby Club Thunderhill event... and noticed that I had to have cotton pants (long) in Yellow, Red and Green.... Also a long sleeve cotton shirt - same colors..... and a 4 point harness in Green....

Immediately I'm on the horn with Rodger Lee asking why I'd have to have a seat belt in Green - like WTF difference that would make?? And were was I going to find cotton pants in Yellow, Red and Green.... look like a GD Eyetallian flag out there! Sheesh!!!

Then I'm emailing Charley about the color of the harness.....

RING RING -- Cell phone is going.... belly laughter on the other end so I know it's Charley.... Calling me to tell me what a dumbass newb I am....

Rodger probably was going to call but he had to go home and get clean shorts.... he probably laughed so hard...

When do I get my Weld Racing Crew member shirt!

1 question can you run historic events with this car or do they only allow the real cars with proven history?

**GregWeld** · #6 10-07-2011, 06:33 AM

It became historical the minute I bought it!

Weld Racing Redeux!

Didn't you mean Hysterical?

No...Most historic events only allow cars with race history. The Shelby Club tends to let cars like this in at their big events and I wish they wouldn't. My Shelby still has drum rear brakes and Ford front disc etc. It can't keep up with the modern cars.

True story buddy -- sad story, but true.

For the life of me I could not understand these ridiculous requirements!
