Default Infineon with Asif

Met Asif at Infineon today to help him out.
Took the trip in the White Knight. That car gets funner
every time I drive it.
When I got there he had already run a
qualifying session, car was in the garage
up on jack stands and third member had
been removed. He had a vibration and
thought it was the rear end. After a little bit
of work we got It all back together, had some lunch,
and at 2:00 he ran a race.

Karl Chicca was there in his red '69.
He is probably the fastest '69 I know
of and was laying down 1:47 lap times.
He's running a Lateral Dynamic's rear
suspension and up front he's running
a stock sub with Global West CA's.

Great post/pics Bro. Looks like a really fun day. Asif's interior is all business...and that red 69 - is that a fiberglass front end?

Hey Jeff, great talking to you today. Hope the build pace pic's up for you on your Mustang. I know what your going through trying to balance a car build budget when your raising little one's.
Best of luck to you

Dude, great pics! Did you get a new camera with an ultra-zoom tool?

I was wanting to come out this weekend but had the soon-to-be-father-in-law's 60th to attend today.

Both those cars are lookin killer and made to kill. Here is Carl's reason for the 'glass front end, as mentioned above. That is a bad ass car.

I had my camera set up for the correct size photo's but somehow it got changed. I was going to shrink them but actually kind of liked how they posted so I left it alone.

IIRC that happened back in 2005. Karl was still in HPDE when I was in Time Trials. When I left NASA and racing altogether in 2006 Karl continued to run and is now a really skilled driver.
His partner Dave Brown has won 16 National Titles and is now partnered up with Karl and are running in USTCC. You can look up Dave on UTube and catch some pretty exciting racing vid's.

I spent alot of time with those guys today. Karl has put together a pretty cool racing team.
