Not yet- just acquired it and am having a major service and some small stuff done as I write this. I'll retrieve it when it's done, but probably won't run it until the FCA event at Sebring in April.

 

FYI This car is being brought down to the FCRA event at Sebring next weekend in hopes of selling it Sadly, I'm out of the country so I won't even get a chance to race it.

Gorgeous -- man are you gonna love that car!

 

are in the bay area same day if you want them

 

The black is stunning!!

Just hard to keep the paint up on a black race car....

 

Clear film and Neon Green Graphics will protect the paint. The car looks so good in black.

Very nice.

Love the wrap on the rear deck

How did you do at Infineon?

 

I remember seeing your car at Infineon. Great looking car.

-Gil

 

I missed a mandatory drivers meeting so they put me at the back of the grid. I think I came in 20th out of 30 so not so bad. I was just trying to avoid collisions the entire race.

 

Not bad at all given you were placed back there.

Curious what you thought was the trickiest area in terms of avoiding contact, turn 2?

Will you be at Laguna?

 

Turn 2 was side-by-side but OK. There was a full course yellow due to a car crashing on 10, with parts all over the track. The safety car was deployed and the front runners bunched up behind. after 4 or 5 laps all hell broke lose at the green flag. A car spun at the carousel and it was pretty intense for all of us to miss him.

 

Very cool pics. Great looking 458C.

That's a very original wrap. Well done.

 

Sounds pretty intense. The carousel is a nasty place to have a spin in front of you. might you have any in-car footage of that episode in the carousel?

 

I'll have to look.

 

Hi Bob, I spoke to you at the hotel, I was with the black 458, it was a great day indeed!

fwiw, there is a busted up go-pro in turn 4 from that day. if someone finds the memory card, it will be of a go-pro enjoying a spirited drive atop a red California, then suddenly dislodging itself and going airborne for a second or so, before cartwheeling off my 458 windscreen in a blaze of glory.

 

...just a matter of time...makes me nervous to see those mounted outside like that

 

Friend got you at Laguna
