jimrankin Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Dirt cheap, perfect weather, sunny and 80 predicted. Down to two run groups so 30 Minutes on and 30 Minutes off track without a crowd in either group. Back when I had a job (retired) I'd find a way to make it to these kinds of events because they just don't happen all that often and work will be there every day. Just do it! And I don't mean go to work LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoe String Racing Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'd be there but for the fact that I've got a 3 week old titanium hip joint that needs a little more recuperation time. :nopity: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrankin Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hi Shoestring, That's good for a while but hope to see you at TH or Sears Point this summer. Need more 7 types to play with. All those SoCal drivers who are putting work over a great track day :driving:, well, there will always be more work!:smash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimrankin Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Perfect weather and except for feeling like I was alone most of the time it was great. We ran clockwise in the AM and counter clockwise in the PM so a bit of a change up. I was in open passing and only about 10-12 cars on track so hard to even find another car out there ;-). I had a friend along and he did most of the sessions with me. Gave him a bit of excitement when I did "Phil Hill" a bit too fast (counter clockwise) and did about a 720 degree spin right after I landed it on the back side. lots of tire smoke as I knew I wasn't saving it and just locked it down. Didn't even stall and just pointed it in the right direction and kept going. It was the end of the day and I just pushed it way too hard. Everything else was great, wish you could have made it.

Mondo Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Glad you had a good time. Yeah, that one can be tricky... the left hander before that sweeping right up the rise (clockwise) catches me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
