Kevin Patten Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Nothing better than filling yourself with turkey and stuffing and then going out the next day and playing on the "corkscrew" to work it all off ( hopefully Manny won't stuff himself too much and well you know what ) at the track. Weather will be EXCELLENT - have a GOOD TURKEY DAY ALL - see you at the track ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Patten Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 It was fantastic - First timers Surfergeek and redneckgt did great ! Only thing was Cali_KR's wife was a "no - show" with the mini skirt and pom-poms . But Cali_KR and his son represented the family well in 2 of the cars they brought down from the fleet.

Surfergeek Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Awesome day today. Good to meet all you guys. I look forward to hanging out here and seeing you all again at get togethers and track days. So much fun was had today! (except for the one time up the hill when I sound checked at 94.1db (wtf?) With Borla Touring! (Swapped mufflers and selling the S-Types) Got to ride with Andy during the last session of the day, Andy can hustle the Boss around the course pretty good.

What an awesome, day, sunny low 70's and surrounded by friends at one of the best tracks in the world...doesn't get any better..for only his second day ever on the track, my son Taylor was motoring along very, very nicely. in fact took me some time to reel him in, and then pass him...although my wife made a special guest appearance at the end of the day, it was sans mini-skirt and pom-poms Awesome day today.

Great meeting you Jared, look forward to seeing you at more events as well. Andy gave me a ride around Sears Point in his Boss, and yea, hes not afraid to toss the Boss around I got black flagged once as well, 94.9db, I made sure to keep it under 4,000rpm in 3rd going up the hill, as that was my magic number Good times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I rode with Andy twice yesterday and he can handle that Boss. I am sure my old 70 Boss 302 would have handled the same way!!(oh sure!). Going down the corkscrew reminded me of taking my boat in the ocean and dropping into a 6 ft. trough!! Glad I had that racing harness on me or I think I would have been on the roof!!hahaha. I loved every minute of it and made me decide to take my 500 out there next year in Yellow group. Of course that will give Cali KR just one more car to pass!!haha. Great day and the weather couldnt have been any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali_KR Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I have a ? If it is a race track, then why have a db rule? ...due all of those people that bought multi-million dolars homes near the track don't like all of that noise...although the track has been there for 50+ years, way before these snobs bought their homes..

I thought they were a lot louder than they should be and as I went out to check things out today, I saw melted plastic from the bumper on the passenger side muffler Turns out they didn't tighten the clamp all the way, it came loose and the muffler was moving around ... That would explain why it was much louder than I thought and the black flag in the 3rd session after the first 2 sessions not having a problem. Got it tightened back up ... And the S-Types will hit the classifieds. Jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMcGuirk Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Thanks Fat Boss for the seat time in you B302! What a thrill to drive someone else's car and have them coach you to go faster. Turn 6 was a thrill! The Limer issue was a mass air sensor - $200 and a trip to the Ford dealer fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Boss Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 No problem guys. It was fun watching you guys go by. Someday we'll be in the same run group... Turn 6? Did someone mention turn 6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Patten Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Ha -ha -ha - cool videos Andy - just one question . Why is the video of me only 7 sec on the front straight and Taylor in the Boss is 9 sec , while old man Dankel in his KR is 10 sec long ? Is he a camera hog/diva or just slower than Taylor ? Maybe I'll throw in some 4 pt harnesses and join you and MM in green next time and play with you 2 in the braking zones :shades: Ask Manny to show you his Spiderman position he was doing when we were doing 130+ coming into turn 2. Poor guy disappeared for a little while after going for a spin but I think he got used to the corkscrew after a couple of times around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be that intoxicating F-18 sound of the KR...regarding Taylor, you know those Boss drivers stick together... Yes, I agree 4 pt harness is needed for next season Manny, (Spiderman move, good one!) he gave a few audibles with me going thru the corkscrew too....and had his seat back dropped back some, maybe he didn't want to see what was coming....

Kevin Patten Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 That slide felt a lot longer live! Good thing I had them remove the barrels before we got there I'm sure it looked a lot uglier live ( Sure Andy was hoping for a 2011 GT350 ) Hey-Hey-Hey - remember " what happens on the track -stays at the track " WHO RELEASED THIS VIDEO ?

I was just going to post the link up to the pics, beat me to it. I emailed the photographer, but can someone remind me, if you order the 1 Day CD, do you get ALL of your pictures on CD from the event? Or is it something different? Thanks!
