We could still do Andretti's and drink beer....??

 

Andrettis sounds good to me, beers are always refreshing. It's important to stay properly hydrated(beerdrated?)

 

Yes, I would like to be Hybeernated at Andrettis. :D

snif.

 

Ha
At least I got the new page!
OD

 

Tell me more about the B group. Is that like HPDE II ?

 

Group B is if you've gone before. It's basically open track, passing only on the straights. Group A is the heavily modified cars.

 

Come on OD, It's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission! My neighbor is talking about coming out with his Ferrari. He let me have last Sunday to goof around in and I am glad I bought the 8 instead! The 8 actually feels quicker so any of you guys that were thinking about trading up...........Don't!

Chas

 

Wouldn't think of it. Only thing I'd trade up for would be a Speedsource 8.

 

So I am being told not to get a Ferrari and to be a rebel? Maybe the 28th? Any group discounts? Two days?
Lets see---Honey oh Honey this is what I want for birthday, 20th anniversy and christmas! Ok? Or like this Hey you , Yea you--Woman in the kitchen-- bring me a beer and call Panoz now!
errrrr maybe I better think on this a while.

Update from the Mazfest in California.

Man was that fun!

I saw a lot of wipe outs. The field was super muddy with pools of water.

Just got back from Button Willow.
Was consistently hitting 103+ on the track.
This time I participated in Intermediate class.

On the last session they put us with the big boys. Was with the pros that you see in NASCAR.
On the back end stretch we were hitting near 100 when all of a sudden there is a car facing us head on. (Of course it was a Silver 8)

We had just over one car width between him and the edge of the track where a there was huge wet muddy infield.
Five us just made it through the narrow gap.

Then the big boys started pushing me on the next lap.
Fortunatley it was hotter and Magic Mountain dried up a bit.

Pushed over the mountain and around the next couple of corners.

Next.......

We hit the hard right had corner AKA (Mazda hair pin), before the stretch of chicanes where speeds hit over triple digits.

I was trying to get more speed as our cars have so little torque you consistently have to down shift to second.

This time in 3rd I pushed so far with the big Boys on my tail that I went off the edge but quickly recovered.

Man you should have seen some of those guys fly.

It was fun participating with the Mustang Cobra and Super Charger on the track.

 

I'll have to check around. Since it was a Mazda sponcered event there were plenty of video camaras.

 

Well, I just looked at the Panoz site and they allow DOT competition tires. I have 2 Hoosier Road Race tires (got a great deal). If I get 2 more, I'm in.

 

Come on guys and Pam... we only have a few more to go to make this a 1000 post thread! Who will be the one to reach the magic number. My bet is on lego.

 

Hey now...I represent that comment......:D

 

Ok I claim 978
