NorCal Shelby Mini Nats - Aug 2nd and 3rd

[Flash68]

That SUCKS Jeff. Was really looking forward to meeting you finally and seeing your car.

Hopefully your upgrades are worth it.

Okay then --- I think we might have a new winner in the "Cup O'excuses" dash...with Gaetano now running a close second.

Not only did you jump to the lead you pulled a double off with a "Wifey" tossed in for good measure.


Jeff -- I was looking forward to a pretty good gathering of players... and would have liked to get together but we all have been there and we all understand. EVENTUALLY THOUGH you'll get your sh!t together and come whip us all and share a few good natured laughs.

I have had one issue after another getting the correct parts from Hurst DL for my TKO600 kit and Ridetech over the past 3-4 months. I wont go into details but it is the old - wrong parts in the order and the you need this part to make that part work scenario. With the shipping times back and forth we've killed almost 2 months.

The silver lining is I have a new TKO 600, new triple adjust RT front shocks and new RT control arms because the new FOX shocks don't fit the old control arms... but they didn't tell me that at first. I also have a new ECU and system controller now too. So we should be good to go.

Of course, I should have the car back later this week but with zero miles on the new clutch and tranny so I didn't pull the trigger on registering fearing this would happen. Now my wife has guilted me into going to Monterey & Santa Cruz this weekend so I wont see you guys. But I do get a nice weekend away at the beach.

I will be in Pleasanton for WCN's so look forward to seeing some of you there and I'm in on the next Norcal event for sure! Have fun boys and I will be checking in each night for play by play, spirited banter with Flash & Weld and pics.

Sorry--I forgot to mention the other "big deal:" Mr. Weld. This time, if I don't see The Weld, I will make sure to take a selfie standing next to his trailer/living room, so as to prove I tried...

On a side note, I received my "Stick, you B!tch!!!" stickers today, so my level of competence on the track will undoubtedly be elevated. Thank you to Mary Pozzi, by the way--I'll be sure to provide evidence from Sonoma/Infineon/SearsPoint/racewaytrack after the weekend...

Yeah it does. We'll hook up one of these days.

A new tranny, better shocks and better camber & caster set up on the new control arms are worth it... but come with a lighter wallet. To RT's credit, they did help me out on the pricing because of the issues.

I know, I know. If I cant lead at the track I can lead on the boards. LOL

Since I was at the Sonoma Nationals last week end, scoring a few points with the wifey will pay dividends in the future.

A short clip of me enjoying a couple laps in the little Loti!



I absolutely LOVE Sonoma Raceway --- everyone had a great time... weather was beautiful -- a bunch of Lat G guys showed up on Saturday and we all had a good time BS'n.

Definitely a really good time. My co-worker Dana took alot of really good pics with shots of me and Greg and even the spin Pete got into in front of me and nearly collected me. Just got the flash drive this morning so I'll post them tonight.

Stopped in a gas station to fill up about 2am on Saturday coming back from Portland & gave you a nice finger gesture along with all the damm mosquitos!
