Gooseneck trailer tips

Make sure to get that car on the lift and nut and bolt everything. Don't need Gwen staring at you thinking "Why oh why did I let this idiot talk me into driving this POS car"

New oil (Redline 40wt Racing) and filter --- ran the rack @ .018 hot lash -- new front rotors and pads -- bled all old fluid and filled with Wilwood racing fluid... inspected anything and everything I could lay a hand on. Two new sets of tires mounted and ready to go.

If she crashes it - she will be disinvited from all further events.

She's going to drive the Mustang (with instructor) at Thunderhill this month... and I'll just hope that Charley doesn't run her off. Or run off with her.

I sold the idea that this would be similar to our boat... go anywhere - any time - hassle free (ha!) way to mess about the country. We'll just use various "dates" of events (shows or track days) to go somewhere... then mess around going to and from.

If she doesn't like it.... My friends will!

Just out of curiosity, what was she driving at Bondurant? I mean I really want to see her like this stuff but if she wasn't driving the Mustang.........just sayin', might want to find her something a little easier to drive. You dont want to be picking up pieces of your transmission off of the Thunderhill tarmak.

She was in the SS Camaros with the 6 speed.


I have her scheduled with an instructor ride-along for both days - yellow group - at TH.

The car will be way more than she can get into... but I want her to experience it anyway.

If she can't handle it -- I'll let her ride in something far tamer - like Todd's at Buttomwillow.

You guys are too funny!


I have to tell ya --- after debating this rig with myself - and anyone else that would listen -- for about 5 years- I'm pretty excited to have actually pulled the trigger!

For me -- it represents FREEDOM! Freedom from the crap hotels up and down the Interstate... freedom to go earlier and stay longer.... freedom to go somewhere without reservations... and freedom from Denny's!!!


EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA
