Anybody heard from Greg Phillips lately?

Thanks for the ride Greg what an eye opener wow

Is this Ron? Thanks for coming out! I hope you had a great time seeing what we're about. It's all about having fun and learning in a safe way.

We still have a couple of spots left in the group.... hint, hint.

This weekend is a BBQ (at a wicked cool location), then Monday night we're having a private, exclusive viewing of a Ferrari, LaFerrari and a McLaren P1 - among a bunch of other cars from a Dino to an Aventador. Anyway, thanks for coming and seeing what we're about.

Anyway, hopefully we'll see you again soon. We have a track day in August but I can't make that event. I'm racing at Laguna Seca in a week and a half, then the 24 hour Chump Car event at Castrol at the beginning of August - then our normal track day on Sept. 5. Maybe we'll see you then.

BTW, Thanks for the drive darbgnik! The new Viper is an incredible car - fantastic!

That car deserves to go to the track - it's where it belongs.

Thanks man.

I had a good week. I put together an event for a private viewing of a McLaren P1, a LaFerrari, an F40 and an Aventador. Hot damn they're nice. Sweet rides indeed!

Next track day is only a week away! Aaaaaand, my new sets of tires showed up.

Most people look at ya funny when you go through two sets of fronts to every set of rears on a Viper.

Sheet...the weather network shows rain Friday and Saturday. Still a ways away yet, but if she rains I gotta go to the backup car.

You gotta take the ol pussycat out at least once this year man.

Time will tell my friend. But I am really excited about the next event, it was so much fun last time.

Well Greg was out at Castrol yesterday, making everyone look slow again, while he was sick as a dog......

He woke up from sleeping in the pits, came out and passed me, but was nice enough to slow down, slap the back drivers fender of his car out the window, and invite me to follow, lol. Luckily the checkered flag came out before he fell asleep again.

At the previous event, Greg was in Europe or some shit, so I was one of the fast guys, hahaha

Man, there's a lot of names from the past in this thread!

Jim, I stumbled across that pic of your old blue Road Runner the other day!

this one?

[darbgnik]

Yup. That one.

Well.... We had our last track day of the year last Saturday. The weather was freezing cold but some fast laps went down. We started the day with a wet track but it dried out fairly quickly. Damn, these are great days - even when it's cold.

It's been a great year as far as fast driving goes. I set fastest lap at the Chumpcar Chumpionship at Las Vegas while leading in my Mustang. One of my teammates crashed with 1 1/2 hours remaining in a 16 hour race - we finished 5th. I set fastest lap at Thunderhill a couple months later on the way to an overall victory. I also set fastest lap at The Ridge and at Laguna Seca. At Laguna we had some mechanical issues and only won our class. I also set fastest lap and won the 24 hour race at Castrol by 6 laps. It's been a great year for driving! Especially for an old fat guy!

My Viper also ran like a top all year - I love this car. It just flat works.
I'm not sure where I'll race my Mustang over the winter but I'm already looking forward to next years track days at Castrol. I'll start booking our 2016 track dates in the next few months.
