NorCal Shelby Mini Nats - Aug 2nd and 3rd

[Sieg]

Here's the rest of Rusto's ride.









It's one of those cars at the track that just puts a good old fashion smile on your face.

Rusto what a bad ass little car! Thanks for the picture link, they really do get some great shots....I think I'll buy a couple and have you, Greg and Greg's man friend sign them at another event!

Here's what I've come to learn in my VERY SHORT time tracking. Some guy blows past you like you're sittin' still... and since we're all competitive -- your foot goes down - your eyes glaze over - and it's "I'm going to catch that SOB!!"

What we have to learn.... that guy might be a real veteran driver -- might have super sticky tires - might have 100 hp on ya... might have a better set up car. You have a tendency to FORGET that you're on 200 tread wear tires -- don't really have the air pressures set up right -- don't have the wheel time - and the next thing you know - you're a spinning top (if you're lucky) or going into the weeds.

After doing that a couple times --- I don't chase -- I "gauge" to see if I can run with them but within MY driving skills and limits.... If they're just running off from me -- I let 'em go.

Everybody's car is different out there... so NOTHING is even. One day I'm struggling to stay behind a f'n MIATA and I'm working hard and driving a little over my head --- and I KNOW I should catch and pass a stink'n' Miata..... then I find out it's being driven by a pro Winston Cup driver.... This dude doesn't need any power -- He knows how to roll that thing thru corners! Live and learn... Learn to just drive what you brought and how you know how to drive.

Before I go buying any Chevy engines I will find
out who was driving Dave's car. It sometimes run in
three groups. Dave only runs in blue unless he gives
Someone a ride. He did share Joe Silvas car for a few
Years and was just bringing his car back after three years

Broken parts
Was crewing on a buddies can am car for a few years
and saw suspension parts break on several cars. Tire tech
is so much better now that they tear old race cars apart

Greg is right there is always someone faster. You need to keep
your head and learn how to drive your car. It's about having
fun and bench racing later. Things can go bad real quick. I found
Viper boy and I run together real good. One day he is faster the
next it is me. We give each other a bad time but all in good fun
