I really want to run it, but I am afraid of signing up and getting rained on. I don't have tires that do well in the rain, and to get race tires up there means no top on the roadster. Running the Alfa is a no go, no cage, no safe seat belts.

]WOW!
What an incredible day. Big thanks to Dennis and Peggy Hale with UFO for putting on a great event.
The weather cooperated with us and amazingly it did not rain on the track at all.
Scott drove his silver '03 350, Rob and Meghan in the red 370Z, Patrick in the orange '04 350, and my wife and I in our silver '06.

Patrick's Z is awesome! I love the Porsche paint color. He was fast on the track too.

Scott's Z was LOUD---did they get you at 105db:

This was my first track day with the newly installed Stoptech BBK(332mm), I've been driving on S-03s and stock calipers/nismo pads for about 2 years.
On street tires (kumho) and street pads I must say that the confidence, feel, and fade free performance of this kit is sensational...can't wait to try some slicks.

ps this was my wife's first track day, and 2nd time driving stick...I am so proud of her:icon38:

I was up for going, but it rained here the night before and all day. I even had the roadster ready to go if the weather had been looking good when I went to bed. Not so. I'm guessing you guys had lots of track time as they didn't have enough people signed up.
Oh well, next year.

She camps in Solvang-temperatures (last year was darn cold after the bar-b-q)
AND

You got a gem there, and congratulations as well. Great wedding pics.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming....

Will there were 8-9 cars in C group, the second covered paddock area as totally empty!
We had 8 20min sessions, including "night" session with headlights!
Fergus, thanks! I actually had to reverse the car for her, then she took the helm!
