Congrats to you Greg and Ron for a great outcome.

Oh, and using the term "sashaying" is against the LatG rulebook, unless of course your user/real name is Sieg




I'd never heard the word until I'd taken Sieg with me to the track. Now it's a vision I just can't get out of my head. LOL

Great to see you Greg and Debasher
We watched Greg running on the backside
After the straight where things are off camber and
dicey. Lotus was smooth running with the Panoz

I ran the Pantera the next day starting with mist on
the windshield. Not the best way to learn a new track
Only pushed the front end once about 4-5 feet in turn
7 and found out you cannot go hammer down in the wet

Mist went away and things were better. Two sessions were partly
wet and finally dry on our third run

Track on the backside is awesome. Not a lot of places to pass but
found a place going up the hill after the first hairpin that I could sneak by.
I run with checkered flag and we can pass anywhere. No spins that I heard of
just fun running. Viper boy and I just worked our way thu the pack
Last one was an Audi V-10 that took me two laps to catch and pass those buggers are faster than the ZR-1's. All in fun

Will definitely do it again. Hope to see some of you all in Vegas

I actually know one of the NorCal ZR-1 guys
Hang out with him at the Sharks games
He runs a Z06,ZR-1,continuation 427 cobra
and a family friends 54 vette at the historics
cause the owner is getting too old

Weld and I are heading in that old direction soon
So we might have too get some youngons like
Debasher too run our cars

Isn't it the older you get the faster you go? Or is it, the older you get the faster you were?

Either way...I can't drive. I figure I'll learn as soon as I figure out how to wrench.

Nice meeting you this weekend Pantsracer!

Hey Dave, don't be bitter. Your car will be done some day, or month, or year, or decade.

First time for a sunday drive in green group.......maybe.....but I still got the point by.

Well I stated in the text train that my car was done. Yes, it sticks like glue front and rear and I can put it anywhere on the track at anytime. That's a fact. But I regress, guess my car really isn't done........looks like I'll just have to find some sort of high end no hassle video cam to put in it now. thanks for fueling the fire.
See you at Sonoma buddy.
