3 days of track time coming next week. Here's a 2011 GT500 doing a lap recently. Gives you a pretty good feel of a lap there. Tommy Boy knows better than most how it feels.

Anybody notice anything interesting about the poster?

That will work. :yes: I'm having Bill bring the EZ UP open tent in case it's hot and we want out of the sun. :yes: Forgot the lawn chairs last go around as well and need to pack them this trip. Hopefully we can all park in group setting and catch up. :yes:

We're staying in the paddock area - above the garages. I think there's a covered balcony overlooking the straight...should be good for some vids

Captured some excellent video and pics from there last year. Problem is you all pass by so fast on the straight away that it's really hard to get excellent video like the professionals without the $10,000 set up. I did pretty good with my Sony setup though. :) I made my way to all the different photo stops last trip and ended up with lots of shots of everyone. I enjoyed being in the wooden built stand just as you guys enter the track on the staight away the best. I could feel that entire structure shake when the faster cars really got on it. :yes:

I have lots of car show pics. And several vids. But only on the laptop and won't be uploaded til home. Connection here is very low.


Flyboy has the good stuff. :wtg:



After some fuel tank issues :nonono: the day was a great day.

First run I got black flagged for fuel leakage. :banghead: Come to find out that my model years of car have a grommet at the tank that is notorious for cracking and leaking. So I made a trip to the auto parts in town and got some fuel tank leak stop putty and some resin. (The grommet is a factory part) so I cleaned it all up and packed in a couple packages of leak stop, let it set up and covered it all w/ resin. No more leaky. But I lost a full session. :banghead:

Next two sessions were awesome. Passed lots of cars. :grin: Mustangs, Corvettes and a Mini Cooper. :surprised: Can't hang w/ the high HP GT500's and Corvettes in my group yet. :weg:

.

It's that 170 deg wide angle that does that. Captures a large field of view and settles the picture down, but slows the action as well. If you had a narrower view as we see ourselves - it would appear much faster. They should offer options. I think they only have this standard wide angle that I have here - and a new HD wide angle.

I heard the whole story and it was just a bad judgement mistake.

The one that caused it has really stepped up to the plate though. When at a track you sign waivers that you are responsible for your own vehicle and only damage to track facilities. The party at fault is working on getting both vehicles fixed, paying for towing, paying for a rental car. and delivering the car back to the owner when finished. :surprised:

He has gained much respect from me. I don't ever want to be in that position, it could get expensive quickly. Hence I buy track insurance now.

This is usually cost's about $100 for a $2000 deductable coverage for any damage to the vehicle while on the racing grounds/ per day.

Thanks guys.

Seems like it's well worth it considering the alternative.

Man I'm jealous after seeing all those.

I just don't want to add the rollbar or all the racing mods needed in order to track my car like that.


Maybe some day TG will help me with my own Track Turd. :idea:

Truth is - I'm probably going to go the turd way too. I like what I did and be respectable on the track, though it's 4100 lbs and four seats. And I don't want door dings - let alone track incidents. I'm not worried about myself - I'm worried about the other guy. Some idiot in a Saleen passed me on the inside of a turn - shoulda had his ticket pulled for the weekend.

Personally I think it's just a matter of time. Anything can happen. And like you said it could be more someone else than yourself.

Yours is beautiful with all your mods and the 40th treatment. I understand wanting to see what she can do on the track, but that "what if" is what keeps me up at night.

My Mrs has said "do what you want", but I KNOW I'd be sick (and likely dead meat) if I came home with a damaged car.

All it takes is one dufus who runs into you, or does something to cause you to run off the track and it's all over from there.

My thoughts exactly on this John. I am quite nervous while on the track with my car anytime someone else is near me. It's a shame this accident happened to these two 500's.

BTW whoever took those videos did a fantastic job! thanks for sharing them....I see you guys had a blast....:wtg:

All the pics and vids are Flygirl's (aka Kim) doing. I'll let her know. And she did this all while doing a lot of Master's reading - and writing a paper due tonite.

Great video. Looks like a lot of fun.

Would love to get on the track just for fun but I worry about what could happen with idiots all around. They are building a new road course in the New Orleans area, so maybe someday.
