    If the weather is nice I will be out at California Speedway in Fontana, Ca for the next Speed Ventures event.

    I'll be across the street from you next Sunday karting with some fellow Fchatters. Though currently the weather is looking a little questionable.

    I'm interested. I need to look at the schedule to see what's going on with kids, etc. Hopefully I can make it on Sat.

    I'll be thinking about you.... NOT!

    Should be a perfect day for a romp in my car. Look for the old fat guy in the Red Honda, parked next to the Datsun 510.

    Scott,

    The Z06 is a fail!!! It works great on the auto-x but on the speedway it vibrates starting at 90mph. I think I got a right bent drive axle. Gotta buy more parts!

    And I have an oil leak and some busted plastic body panels. I guess I have some new projects to keep me busy.

    But what's the fun of a car if you can not fix it?

    Luigi,

    You should come out and play with your Alfa Brothers this weekend at WSIR!

    http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=308546

    I'll be there. Alfa has made their run groups better and their tech process way easier. This is the most fun group of guys to run with and they love to see their Ferrari brothers out there.

    Won Regional SCCA title in my class then collected a BMW up my tailpipe to the back of the gas tanks. It was all better with amazing rebuild 50/50 cross weight on the dot and ride height adjusters within 1 mm of each other! The frame guy was stellar. I auto-x the car as a brake in before the roval and car was perfect. Then got a 100mph vibration on the roval. Swapped wheels no good. Dial gaged the axles, hub, rotors, etc all in spec.. But I still suspected axle cv's. Just took both axles out of car and you can feel the right outboard CV all stiff and knarly! My gut was right eventhough the dial gage said it was OK. I'm racing with Alfa Club at WSIR this weekend as a test before my next SCCA race in Feb '11. That's it not a big story but cost me north of $6K in repairs/parts.

    I really want to be there... but my transmission has puked up a bearing and so I will be spending quality time with the greasey side of my car for the next couple of weekends.
