Thanks Greg, Charlie and friends for letting me hang out. VERY NICE car Greg. Enjoyed your company, and your driving. Look forward to seeing you guys run again. Hopefully I can get to a happy medium of needed safety items, and keep it safe on the street for my kids to enjoy too, and join you guys soon.

I drove the same 66 Shelby again on Sunday but only for one session. The exhaust mod at the track to make it pass sound made it run like crap. It did make sound though. now the search for a system that is quiet without killing too much power. The good news is Greg only got 1 black flag...

I know last fall they started really enforcing 103 db as about 5 of my friends got black flagged. A friend called the city and county about it and they said it was self imposed by SCCA. City and County have no problem with the sound. Apparently there is one neighbor that complains. I would either tell him to pound sand or just impose a 20.00 fine for anyone over 103 db. SCCA could then give the guy the money to shut him up. I would gladly pay 20.00 per day to not have to worry about sound.

Met Jack -- super nice guy and fun to talk to -- he built an awesome car for Greg. I didn't catch his times but he had a well prepped late model Mustang with a big wing. Thing looked fast on track.

Greg/Charley - you catch his times?

Charley -- I didn't look closer, but do those stock cars there from Borelli have driver side exit to pass sound? They seemed pretty loud, as well as that rough white Mustang coupe with the kid driving it with girl passenger.

I clocked Jack at 2:08... It's a really well prepped car - and he can wheel it. Carbon fiber doors and roof... gutted out -- sorted out.
Huge 3:15's all around - compared to Charley and my skinny old skool 2:45's!
Those things are just steam rollers!
