Greg Weld's 65 Mustang fastback track car

[gnx7]

Those Lotus track cars are amazing! Would love to drive one someday.
My rx7 has a similar p/w ratio

That black car coming off the transporter was a Norma right?
My buddy Brandon Kraus from Roger Kraus racing is one of the co-drivers.
It will be at the 25hrs of Thunderhill this year. I thought it was a French car?

No --- the all carbon fiber bodied car being unloaded off the transporter is a WOLF --- GB08S

Well --- I was able to pick up the Mustang after dropping off Mayhem at Charley's. This time around I "only" had a Jessel shaft style rocker arm broken -- which bent a valve ($131 for ONE titanium exhaust valve)… it only kissed the piston -- and everything else was fine. Replaced the retainer and spring - head gasket etc and all is wonderful with the world now.

Considering the motor had to be pulled -- taken to the builder (T.O.E. Performance) and broken down - fixed - and re-installed… the $3200 bill seems very fair. That includes 10 hours of engine builder time to make sure all was fine with the motor other than the busted rocker arm.

So Laguna Seca here I come!! We'll see if I can get one whole weekend of track time out of her!!

Lucky Bastard. You have no idea how bad I want to go. Cant work on my car till I finish the rental and my freshened up trans is just sitting next to my car waiting to be installed.
Caulked and painted two sides of the house today. Two more sides to go and then I have to paint the trim, rebuild the front porch, paint the inside, replace flooring, and so on and so on

Hobaugh and Pozzi's will be there -- and Charley…. it will be a hoot. I'm home now but leaving again Monday night - and will celebrate Thanksgiving in Carmel… Alex is coming up from Redondo Beach for Turkey day and I have him signed up in Yellow group to drive the Lotus. You'll be missed buddy! Who's going to let the air out of my tires?

Just shut up right now Stuart! I just bought a back up car - and have since spent 10 grand making it right - the '33 is almost finished - and I'm building a new house out of pocket… I don't need your help - or Charley's either, for that matter. He's cost me a small fortune as it is already!

Yeah but your our hero and we live thru you. When your dead the kids just fight over it, wife gets a boyfriend, so your last check should go to the morgue and bounce!!

Wish I could help you out but it sounds like you will be in good hands. Don't get lazy......make adjustments if needed. Heard that track is super slick in the cold. Take some good pic's!!
