mustang_girl Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Had a great time this weekend at Mini-Nats, and it was great to see so many Shelbys out there. I took the GT-500 out for parade laps, but the real fun was getting some great sessions in with the Boss. It was great having multiple other Laguna Seca Bosses out there to run with! As usual, Dito from gotbluemilk.com got some great shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali_KR Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've been going 20+ years, and always enjoy myself. The car show on Friday was a success with a great cross section of entrants, then two awesome track days. I had seven runs, 4 on Sat, and 3 on Sun, plus one as a passenger in Andy's (FatBoss) Race Red B302 on the last run of the day...great fun with great people...

mustang_girl Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Agreed! Great cars, great people! I did Friday as well, so I got 5 sessions that day, then 4 each day Saturday and Sunday. Looking forward to the next Norcal-SAAC event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Patten Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Agreed! Great cars, great people! Looking forward to the next Norcal-SAAC event! Ditto on that - fantastic event - even got to drive David Ray's SPEC MUSTANG (a new series/regional class in SCCA) .Enjoyed talking with you Nicole at dinner Saturday night - even that was killer- the wall of Cobras to look at while dining and the wine - Denbeste's ROCK !!! I would say that this years Mini-Nats was the best so far and I have also attended over 20 of them ( like Cali_KR) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csr81 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Nice lap. What tires were you running? Is this an otherwise stock Boss 302? Thanks! Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_girl Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I was running Hoosiers -- which by that lap were on their 13 or 14th heat cycle, so they were pretty much done. This was my first time at Sears Point. My Boss is "mostly" stock -- it has a carbon fiber Tiger racing hood, the 302S grill, the AC condenser removed, a roll bar and harnesses, AIM data acquisition, extra brake ducting, and 18" wheels for the track. But I have yet to do anything to the suspension or engine. The Cortex kit looks pretty interesting, maybe someday I'll upgrade my suspension to coil overs with that...

csr81 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Thanks for the info. Among the 2007 and up - Gt500's, Shelby GT's and Boss 302's your laps were probably among the fastest turned all weekend. See you on track. Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
