See you at Sonoma buddy.



You'd better start out with putting in a back up camera.....




Guys -- below is MY electrical box after Gaetano attempted to back in next to me.... It used to be upright... LOL

I think a better choice of words would be CHOSE TO vs HAD TO..... and my guess is that move doubled or maybe tripled his money... which seems to me to have been a pretty f'n SMART choice.

Whatever Weld. Build your regime and keep blasting. I'm done talking. I'll leave the rest to the video cam.

Ruh oh! I doubt it but, ruh oh!

Gaetano, I've never seen your Camaro but it sounds like its quite the bullet and even in the last year you've made huge improvements. I'm looking forward to you and the "sandbagger" going some rounds. Weld regime? Or Lat-G fun?

It's so much fun harassing each other.... If we didn't - what fun would it be?



The thing about TRACK DAYS --- all the cars and drivers are different. The horsepower and weights - tires - tire sizes - skill levels... If a guy is SMART he'll follow a guy that has some skills even if he could pass them. I've followed many a Miata around the track... a few of these guys are fast, but of course, way underpowered. For that reason they carry a ton of speed thru the corners. And then there are the guys that come out in Porsches and they're not fast at all and are erratic and all over the place. Passing them is not anything other than self preservation... you just want away from them. I've learned the hard way to NOT chase people that are substantially faster than I am! Let 'em go! They tell you to "drive within your limits"! It's words to the wise.

At least he'll be able to back it up now that he's done talking.

That stupid pedestal was at least 30' back and it was dark. Those things should have bollards around them.
