Welcome neighbor! Pleasanton here. Love the Orangeastang!Hi, Dave here from Danville, CA. Recently joined in to get some brake and tire advice and happy to be a new member! I'm 56, retired for about 8 years now (worked in finance in the energy biz and ultimately ran an energy hedge fund for about 10 years). I have two adult kids out of college, one doing her PhD in Cape Town, SA, and one living and working in the Bay Area. I have wife that puts up with my car activities, so I have that going for me! I've been a car guy since I was a kid and worked my way through college as a "light" car mechanic, so I still enjoy the wrench but know nothing about modern electronic and fuel systems. I ordered a 2018 GT350R last year and waited patiently for 6 months for it to arrive... and it was worth it! I own a number of other cars, but this one is my new track toy. I participate in Time Trials through NASA Norcal and other HPDE events through Hooked on Driving, Trackmasters, NASA and sometimes SpeedSF. I trained with Skip Barber Racing School and raced in their Western Formula Series at Laguna Seca for 3 years in the mid 2000's. I switched out of the Formula cars to a Porsche Cayman S around 2009 and now the GT350R is the new track tool (although some might argue that I'm the tool...). I started out as a Datsun fan (a 510 was my first car) and I've owned a couple of Datsun 2000 Roadsters, and I still love old Datsuns. I've owned many brands from the Italians and Germans through the British and Americans, but this is my first Ford. I'm happy to say it has exceeded all my hopes and expectations! I hope to get to meet some of you at Sonoma, Laguna, or Thunderhill soon! I'll be running the "Orangeastang" (as my friend calls it) in NASA Time Trials TT2 class this year.
@Dave_Car_Guy welcome to TMO. I just retired from CalPERS and spent a few years in our hedge fund department from 2007-2011. Fun times during the financial crisis. Maybe our paths crossed? Do you know Chris at PFM?
Welcome neighbor! Pleasanton here. Love the Orangeastang!
Hogwash, I am originally from Parkersburg. Brother lives in Charleston. Hopefully we will cross paths down the road.
OK. Now i am jealous.
Welcome BSoul, and where did you move from to your new home in sunny Florida? Nice to have Sebring, Homestead, and Palm Beach International Raceway in easy driving distance, with Daytona just a bit farther away. You have to be happy with so many classic tracks close by to exercise your GT 350?
Post some videos as you hit these tracks?
Nice! The red really pops against the white snowy background.Yup , that's snow!!! Bought the Boss on March 11, 2019 and made it home in one piece , actually the roads weren't bad...just my driveway. Are there any other Boss 302 around Ottawa? Looking forward to all the resources TMO can supply!View attachment 7706
