Is it normal to not hear anything back to confirm that everything is a "go" for the weekend? Thanks. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Things are starting to shape up pretty good for our May 2,3 open track. We will have vintage race driver and Ford Representative Gary Underwood as a driver instructor with special guest instructor SCCA Champion RICK TITUS with his 2007 Shelby Mustang GT. We of course will have our regular talented instructors that will make this a great event to attend. If you are in Southern California that week end at least show up at the track and watch.

AKA-SHLB Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Had a great time yesterday, was truly an amazing experience. I had the opportunity to meet several forum members (It's always nice to place a face with a post) as well as several LA Shelby Club members. It was a bit windy but otherwise the weather was great. Had the opportunity of a lifetime with Gary Underwood, who went out with me for some instruction, thank you Gary I can't believe what a difference his 30 minutes of instruction made. I'm posting a link to my photo bucket album to share some pics http://s397.photobucket.com/albums/pp58/sp...mview=slideshow I want to say thank you to all the club members who helped to make this possible, I appreciate everything you guys do.

clark17357 Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 We were at Willow for both days from the opening bell on Saturday to the closing bell on Sunday. Met some great people and, other than the wind, it was all good. It was a great opportunity to run the car hard for two straight days, a total of 14 sessions of 20 minutes each. It was, as advertised, a safe, fun event. I brought my 21 year old son to the event. He had never been on a racetrack and, after being instructed by Maury Gentile (and very well instructed by Maury), went on to have a great time.

randylasaac Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I was very happy to see a lot of newer Shelby Mustang owners driving their cars on the track. There were a couple of 700 plus horsepower GT500's ripping around the road course and several Shelby GT's. The Shelby GT's are well balanced and they work great around a road course. We had very talented driver instructors available and to the unfamiliar, how would you have liked to have Rick Titus be your instructor? Some of the drivers where not aware that we had "the Rick Titus" on hand with his personal Shelby GT helping out. The Los Angeles Shelby American Automobile Club has been running open track events for 18 years at Willow Springs and we love to see more of the newer Shelby's attend. We had a very strong group of cars with talented drivers really enjoying their cars. Stock out of the box these cars are great fun and with a few modifications, they fly! Jim, thanks for coming out with your son and giving him the opportunity to drive your Shelby GT/SC. When my son comes out he has to fight me for the keys! But he often wins and off he goes ripping up the track and helping me wear my tires down and my brakes. We will post our next open track event on the forum and if you are in Southern California you have to participate. We had a Protouring member tow his car from Canada to attend, but that's because he said it was snowing in Canada. Our next club event is our annual car show at the Santa Monica Pier on September 19th. Our guest of honor will be Rick Titus. Keep an eye on our website (under construction) at lasaac.org.
