We are going to Shannonville August 4 to do some final testing with the race car before the Aug 9-10 race weekend. It on both Pro and Long track and the track is open from 9am-5pm. Price is $160.00 for the whole day. We will be leaving the dealership at 7am and we will probably only stay at the track until 12 or 1pm to avoid traffic on the way home. I know a few of you have expressed interest and Kafka is coming for sure he says. Anyone else interested??? When not testing I would be happy to help anyone who is new or wants some pointers at the track.

Kafka

Al can you drive my car while i sleep on the way lol

nate340

01Racing

U can bring whoever you want to.

Kafka

What should I bring/prepare for these kind of events?

Do I need a hamlet? I got a motorcycle hamlet left over from my biking days...

Thanks.

01Racing

You dont need a hamlet but I would recommend a helmet (lol). They are not manditory, but I would sure wear one on the track.

Kafka

LOL ya this will be of shakespearean proportion! Spelling mistake for the epic phail haha

Still need to figure out how to put a good cam in your race car without the damn vibration...#Q$^@#&$#

Anyone have good suggestion of good in-car video cam? Thanks!!!

01Racing

Josh, thank you so much for all your help! You did an amazing job for someone who had never been on the track before. You probably learned more about driving in your 1st 15 minutes than have in last 10 years! (lol) You help in doing all the video/pics and working on the car is much appreciated, you are now an official member of the team!

Kafka

Thanks Al! I see you as a guy with passion in auto racing, and I think the chacnes to be able to become part of it are rare in life.

I am old enough now to know whats teh real shxt and poser...and I am sick of posing...I will do that when I got money to dirve a Porsche/Ferrari lol

I am glad I got the car from you in Scarboro Mazda. It really open my eyes!

Anyway, please post the racing schedule for the reamining season. I may get my friend to take better photos for you folks (Its a she and she is good...I think lol)

=)

Thief
