No fluid leaks?

You realize you're inviting Italian cars, right?

Looks like a fun event, timing is bad for me. Ah well...

 

Damn. Beat me to the obvious joke.

 

Funny Guys!

I was thinking everyone could run some nice Italian olive oil in the crankcase, so that track clean up would involve black pepper and a baguette.

Participant #3 don't reach for the chute at the end of the 1/8th mile straights

 

3/32" Tread - I try to start with less!

 

Is this available for non-Boardwalk customers? (Well, I bought a couple of brake lines for my Mondial at Boardwalk, if that counts.)

Thanks!

 

Hope i dont forget and bring the wrong car. The drag car doesnt turn very well.

 

It's open to ANY Ferrari owner / driver. You are more than welcome to come out!

I'll be here today, off and on, as I'm headed out to pre-drive tomorrow's route , but should be back by 4pm till 6pm.

And tomorrow, if you want to come too, I'll be here till 10:30a when we leave!

Shoot me a message ,

Steve, I sent you the payment via PayPal. Let me know if you didn't receive it.

Does Motorsport Ranch require a closed-face helmet or is an open-face one ok?

Thanks.

 

Open faced is ok for your car.

Name added to the list sir!

Glad you are coming out,

S

** p.s. I have the list here at work, with payment(s) attached , which is the official list. I'll do my best to keep this one up, though with only 3 spots left, I imagine it won't be too hard to do. ( LoL )

 

Steve.

Do you know if the cars will need a working FM radio for track control?

On a previous track day I attended they used the car radio on a FM setting for track control from the tower.

Generally, "break up the parade", "car off track on whatever corner", or "car stopped on track". Passing was fine on the straightaways, but they were very cautious about cars bunched up (a parade) in the corners.

It may have just been that particular group/sponsor on that day.

Thanks,
DRG
Jerry

 

You are correct, good point, in the past , FM stations have been used, so to answer your question.

" Yes "

Speaking of which, are you sure you don't want to find a way to come out? There will be other 3x8's there to play with!!!
