that's pretty cool Gary that your wife is into this stuff, too.
I spend a lot of time "waving" people by. It's ok. My tires are old, no roll cage, I'm not really interested in going way tooooo fast. 4 kids still at home, I'm not interested in seeing my life before my eyes! It's still a rush, tho'. Thinking about how fast I could go, if I really really knew that nothing would happen.....
I had a low front tire after the first session, the crew plugged it, and pretty much said, don't run these tires on the track anymore. Finished the last session and had a ball the whole time. Took Gary M. (the guy I bought the car from) on a trip around a few times. I wasn't going too fast, nervous about the tire blowing, but he was holding on pretty tightly. I'm not real smooth yet, and still looking for those apexes. I KNOW they're out there somewhere!
I thought a lot of Gary trusting me enough to take him for a ride. The pics are funny; he's a pretty big dude, and his helmet towers over mine.... The passenger side has no roll bar, or harness, so ya know, you gotta think of your passenger. I had the harness installed on the driver side. Way out of correctness, tho'. It's bright blue! The guys groaned about that. What in the world was I thinking, they said? I liked the bright blue! Cute. (girl for ya)
So, sometime I'll start a thread about new tires. Really don't want to get new tires, but in the interest of safety, I will.
Hey, where's Ron?
