How about a weekend at Barona? Dec 6 & 7

[don_w]

I've been trading PMs with Paul, and I talked to Ed on the phone. Both Ed and I will be there about 8am. We're going to spectate and hang out with you guys. Paul & Ken should be there around 8:00 also.

Yea... it kind of fizzled, didn't it. I'm bummed, I wanted to race, but it just couldn't happen this time. I'll be back with a vengeance in 2009 though!

Hey Don, if you are still going tomorrow, would you mine taking my car taking my car down the track? I want to see how bad or good my times are compared to someone else with a lot more experience on the strip.

We had a great time at the track today. Don, myself and psfracers wife were either taking pictures, videos or both. psfracer has all the pictures and video's now and will make a video.

Oh that 40% chance of rain never did show up.

Ed, are you and Don going tomorrow?

 

[SloSVO]

It was good to see you guys today and finally put a face to a name..I should be out there again tomorrow.. I'll make sure i take my rain gear

 

[MSgt46270]

Ed, are you and Don going tomorrow?

I can't go (working), but Don, paul, Ken are going to be there. Not sure if habu, or Leo_06GT are going tomorrow.

 

[habu]

I am not able to make it and I am fairly sure Leo is out, although he might go to pickup another tenth.

It was great hanging out and meeting everyone. Thanks for the hospitality I had a blast.

Glad I got my personal best. Little by little I'm knocking the numbers down. I think once the driver gets his shit straight it'll be more consistent and more bests are on the way. Even better I got the chance to pick everyone's brain. Usually I'm at the track by myself so there isn't usually anyone to ask anything, ya know ?

Thanks also SlowSVO, completely forgot your name sorry, for taking a ton of pics. I have a couple up on my photobucket and I'll put more up, Do I post them here or the pics section ??

 

[Leo_06GT]

Great time today. Of course running a new best always has that effect. Even though we didn't get many runs in the social part of it made it all worth it. Like Brian I usually end up at the track by myself with no one to BS with.

Ed-I'll be pm'ing you my address so you can ship me the cd whenever you get a chance.

Don-The view from you backyard is awesome.

Paul, Ken, SloSVO (sorry I forgot your name too.) nice meeting you.

****I'm out for tomorrow.

 

[MSgt46270]

Hey Leo06GT

Here's one video of you and Habu racing.

 

[don_w]

Yes... a good time indeed. Lots of new personal bests out there, so that made it even more fun. Lucky for Paul my car wasn't there... or he would have had another KB ass whoopin'.

 

[don_w]

And Paul and his wife are headed back on their 180-mile drive home, so it will be a while before we see his vids. But, he's got some damn good footage to work with... three cameras from three different perspectives on each run. No doubt it's going to be some good stuff.

 

[stkjock]

sounds like fun!

 

[psfracer]

Well its still a street car. I made it home. 174 miles to Barona, raced Saturday and Sunday, then drove 174 miles back home. Didn't change anything except for 104 gas and a race tune.

Was a great weekend of racing, I have alot of material to work with. Big thanks to Don W and Donna for the hotel and video --- Ed to, for some awesome pics and video---and of course the wifee for helping me out all weekend.

Here are a couple teaser pics:

Too bad Bastard Nemesis wasn't there, I think I would have got him this time.......

Nice Job Paul. I had a great time with you guys. Just next time we go to dinner I will meet you at the restaurant. I also ran good there. I dont save every time slip, but I know I ran a best 6.46 at 106 with a 1.38 best 60'. I did break on the pass i think the oil pump broke. I will check it this week and make a new thread. Here are some pics also.

I wish i would have gotten you guys's numbers on Saturday.. i was out the door when there were some nasty rain clouds here in Murrieta.. then i checked the weather sites and they claimed a chance of rain in the afternoon in lakeside.. so i said why chance it.. was it a full day? no ambulance running off in the afternoon? Fuck
