Those are just the "outside" trophies....the big ones are in the house.

You be hardcore my man!

I used to be somebody....now I'm just some old guy with a Mustang trying to relive his glory days like Al Bundy and his football hero days.

trying to relive his glory days like Al Bundy and his football hero days.

Four touchdowns... one game.

Love seeing your success. I get the expenses, but I don't see you setting new PBs without the competition. I admire your drive to win even more than your wonderful Mustang... and that's saying something.

"An old guy with a Mustang".......That sounds so familiar, for some reason.......fill all those trophy's with your memories and a little scotch and you won't worry about next year..................................

Seriously, Folks....Sal has taken his ride to the extreme!!!...He's gone the extra mile more than once.....I'm sure he don't wanna let it go just yet...you never do when you got the fever and there's no vaccine for that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Just remember "That old guy with a Mustang" covers a lot of territory around here................

hahaha, thats funny sh*t, I've given up on real racing and live vicariously thru my kid now. I'll never be the driver I once was. He clearly shows me why. He got fast hands, quick reflexes, perfect vision and learns quick. First race in the legend he out qualified the guy we bought the car from.

SCCA sucks for trophies. I have a bunch of crappy mugs and cheap plaques. Plus $650 entry fee, damn thats steep. Nice job covering most of the porsches. Thats worth some money right there. That Brian Lowrance guy on Saturday is no joke, he's been around.

Which Amsoil ATF did you put in the Tremec? I went to the Tremec fluid this spring and at first it seemed good but now its getting harder to shift, especially cold. I'll try the Amsoil. Is it this one https://www.amsoil.com/p/signature-series-multi-vehicle-synthetic-automatic-transmission-fluid-atf/

thanks

Saturday Race @ Laguna Seca. Look at all those Porsches!
Kind of a boring race but look how consistent those lap times are!

Not that I've seen.....now Oval track races, definitely yes.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Oh boy.... thats a downer.... I can accept a beer mug as a prize as long as my senses are awakened by curves. Thank god that I live in a Latin country!

I think its doable, but all I have to run at the next event are those flat spotted tires we ran at Sonoma....not my first choice.
I do have one set of stickers but I'm saving those for the season finale' at Thunderhill in October.
I need to start studying T Hill videos.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Yeehaaa, forget the pretty girls and the marble and metal trophys!! Getting to 1:35 would be some serious bragging rights for the most important person... You!... Also, Dion is the Man. The minute we are back at the track, will be sending him vids for some coaching
