I LOST MY VIRGINITY YESTERDAY
10 OF US LUCKY COBRA OWNERS WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PARTICIPATE IN AN EXHIBITION RUN ON THE WORLD FAMOUS "HOMESTEAD INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY ROAD COURSE" THIS PAST SATURDAY AS PART OF THE "SPEED FUSION SUPER SHOW." THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS AN ABSOLUTE FIRST FOR ME. HAVING NEVER DRIVEN AT ANY SPEED ON A TRACK, LET ALONE ONE LIKE HOMESTEAD THIS WAS AN EXPERIENCE THAT WON'T BE FORGOTTEN SOON.
HOWEVER, ON ABOUT THE 4TH LAP (MY CONFIDENCE BUILDING WITH EVERY TURN OF THE TRACK, AND ENGINE RPM ON THE STRAIGHTS) I DID MAKE A "LITTLE ROOKIE MISTAKE" COMING OFF THE MAIN STRAIGHT ONTO THE INFIELD PART ALITTLE HOT; DID A SLIDE AND 270 SPIN WITH THE BACK TIRES FINDING THE GRASS. I KNOW THERE MAY BE SOME NEGATIVE COMMENTS FROM SOME OF YOU; BUT NOT ONE, FROM MY FELLOW DRIVERS YESTERDAY. I ADMIT IT, I MADE A MISTAKE; NO FOUL, NO HARM DONE, NO PLENALTY, JUST SOME STREAKS ON THE PAVEMENT AND MY JOCKIES.
NOW HERE'S THE BEST PART, I HAD THE VIDEO CAMERAMAN RIDING SHOTGUN, AND WE HAVE THE WHOLE RUN (INCLUDING SMOKING TIRES AND SOUND) ON TAPE. AND I THOUGHT I STREAKED MY JOCKIES? I RESERVE ALL RIGHTS TO EDITING BEFORE SHARING WITH MY CC FRIENDS. GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT WORDS CAME OUT OF OUR MOUTHS.
IN SHORT, IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST.
O0000HHHH - THE COST - $40 FOR ADMISSION FOR TWO AND USE OF THE TRACK.
A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO "FLANKER" FOR SETTING THIS UP AND TO "MANNY" FOR HIS HELP. WE MET SO MANY GREAT PEOPLE. ONE OF THE MANY SIDES OF PARTICIPATION IN AN EVENT LIKE THIS. CAROL AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR GAINESVILLE IN 3 WEEKS, AND VIR IN MAY.
HONEY, DID YOU FIND MY CREDIT CARD? I NEED TO ORDER THOSE SLICKS AND 17" WHEELS.
GOT TO WORK ON MY TAN TOO.
