Tracking Friday at Cavallino?

Who is tracking Friday at Cavallino? - anybody from South Florida? - I was going to take it easy with my Scud but my wife wants me to take her, my son is coming from Atlanta and has never been on any track and I have a pro driver best buddy coming with his wife so I guess it is going to cost me a set of tires and a full service

 

Me and one of my good friends are going. Were taking his 348. Might track it. Are you in South FL? I think I have seen you driving your car there before.

 

Matt Reynolds is bringing his new white 16m - betting Bill Scherer will be there in his challenge car, Preston Henn of course with an amazing arsenal of new and vintage and Ronnie has an allstar line up from Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale - wouldnt be surprised to see Craig Zinn and some of the Dade County crew too.

 

I am in Palm Beach now - am in my bus - will be checking into the Breakers on Tuesday - I have only tracked the Scud once before - at Moroso in November

 

Ronnie is providing track support for me

 

do we store your cars? I want to say Jeff Walker may service your account

Kevin Buckley

 

Yes you do

 

Was your car parked next to a bunch of GT3's for a while?

 

Ronnie introduced us last Saturday in the parts dept.

I am looking forward to seeing you on Friday John & will bring Jeff with me -

By the way Friday night is a Club session after Cavallino finishes we will run beginning at 5:30 - probably going to run the Lotus & the new GT3 - you are welcome to join us as my guest - I am thinking it should be a fun evening I think Ronnie and some of the other guys will stay for the Club session as well - we will have 3 or 4 hours of open track time.

 

Were you planning on letting your son loose on-track in the Scuderia? I've attended every Cavallino since its inception (19 years ago) and love the event, but despite how noticably improved the track days are this is not the event for someone with no experience. With all due respect, get him some instruction and experience before sending him out in that car, for his sake and ours!

 

Not to worry - I am smarter then that - he is only riding along

 

I'll be out there in my red 16M. Should be a good day!

 

I'll have the PF on the track Friday only. I'm very excited, although I'll be moving at a snail's pace, sliding around turns on the Blockleys.

Forza,
David

 

Me too on Tues and Thursday.

 

I'm coming down from NH Thursday night. My wife wants to hit the Spa at PGA National so I was thinking of driving over to the track to take in the sights and sounds. Is there a place where the FCA or FChat folks are hanging out?

 

There is usally a small gathering of vintage people meeting at the tent around 1. I will be there almost all day. Feel free to give me a call to meet up at five six one three three nine five nine three nine. I'll be driving my Ginetta and parking in the spectator area.

Sounds good. Thanks Bill.

 

Looking forward to seeing your car - see you Friday

 

I really don't know of any one place - just kind of recognize various people - stop by and say hi - I will be over at the Ferrari Fort Lauderdale track support trailers - a Scud red Scud with gray stripes

 

I don't have a car in US but I will be there ! I'm coming for the Cavallino from FRANCE !

I was hoping I could enter the track today but the woman in front has not let me because my press accreditation starts thursday ! Does someone go tomorrow and might let me in ?

 

Since I've never been over to the track is it obvious where to park and where to look for people?

 

Yes it is obvious. After the gate where you sign the waivers, go to the left and park under the trees. Then wander around to check out the machinery. Say hi to some drivers, then I usually head to the far end of the track where there is a small set of stands to watch the cars going through some turns. Say hi if you see me.

in my opinion the stands the one behing the tire wall affords a great view of the long straight away and the turn entrance and exit - by far one of the best vantages for photos - not unusual on Friday to see $50m in vintage Ferraris in that one turn.

Hmmmm......go to another Entry Gate, and help someone pushing a car!

Always works for me at the Indy 500....
