To everyone who attended the June 21st drive to Granturismo I know you had a great time. Brett thanks again. A friend on mine Bryan Durette that works for Lucas Oil was there also & he has extended an invitation for all you guys to come to Sunset Speedway on July 5th for a BBQ, watch the race & have use of the track for one hour. Lucas oil has a tent there & a fenced in area so our cars will be safe. Anyone interested in this can PM me for more information. Since it is less than 2 weeks away Bryan needs to know fairly soon. A Ferrari is not required to attend. Mario
Regarding our conversation tonight bringing your club to Sunset Speedway for the July 5th OSCAAR Event. You and your club will have full coverage on the OSCAAR & Sunset Speedway Internet, plus 1 hour on the track exclusively for your vehicles. Also if you and any one of your club members attend I will arrange for a canditate to wave the Green Flag for the OSCAAR & Thunder Car Feature Race plus photo shots. Private pit & locked area for your club. Look forward to hearing from you. Lucas Oil Products BRYAN DURETTE
Count me in...and free track time...please pinch me. Hows the track, never been there before. Anyone else in?
The track is an oval. Bryan said we could do a parade lap with all the cars & take photos & then you can drive on the track as easy or as hard you like. Helmets will be available if you run hard. I think the staight part is long enough to drag race on. There will be a BBQ before the race at 4-6pm so everyone can mingle & then someone will be picked to flag the race start. (Bryan always throws a good party) &&& THIS IS A FREE EVENT SPONSORED BY LUCAS OIL (Lucas also sponsors a couple of cars there)
I wanted to go on the drive but wasn't able to due to prior work related obligations......but I'm marking this event in my calendar. I love soooooo close to Sunset but the closest I've come to it is a drive by. So far I see 2 Ferraris registered for some track time who else is in? I'm going to talk to a friend of mine with an F430 and a couple Porsche owners up my way......one just got the car a month ago and the other I don't think hes much into the track but we can see. Chris
I have a couple of other friends that are bringing their 308's. You can go on the track at your own pace & don't have to push it if you don't want to.
I use Lucas products in my car, it will be nice to pick some brains on the products with the Lucas people. Chris
Hi Mario, Can you post times and places to meet. Is this a rain or shine event or is there an alternate rain day?
Take 400 North, then off at 89 (Cookstown Outlet Malls) heading East. Take a > left on hwy 11 just past 6th line. Its RIGHT off the road you can't miss it. Should try & be at the track for 3:30 pm on Saturday. If a group wants to meet & drive up together we can pick a spot that is convenient for everyone. The schedule shows July 6 as a rain date--but IT'S NOT GOING TO RAIN. Besides we will be under a tent.
Ok Mityrare....lets race....you in the 308 engined Lancia and me in my 2.4L naturally aspirated Altima! Ok maybe not. I wouldn't want to have to shut down cylinders to let you catch up..... haha ; ) I'll pm you Mityrare. Chris
I received this message from Walter of HOT PIPES (they were filming the event)--HE WANTS MORE******** see below I would love to attend this event in hopes that there would be the attendees from the June 21st Granturismo drive so as to shoot more on track footage of your magnificent vehicles! It would be awesome to do so in order to tie it into the previous drive when the segment finally airs on our show HotPipes! Look forward to hearing from you... Regards Walter >>HotPipes<<
Mario, Id love to come I was the guy in the black Porsche (shemmer) you were talking to in the parking lot at Brett's place. I can't wait to see how I compare to some of the F-cars. Looking forward to it. Rob
YOU WILL EAT OUR DUST!!! Just kidding guy I saw how that thing jumped every time you put your foot into it. (I was behind you for a while) Can you get your brother to come also? There is room for about 100 people.
Since I'm the distant cousin of the Shemmers, can I join in as well. I'd love to take the Ms. Hotpipes for a ride again.
Clearly this must be some kind of inside joke. Left-turn racers and their 'fans' look at F-cars as utter oddities. Good luck with that.
Hello Folks I am tentative to join but need to check my schedule next week ... please keep posting where & when to meet to drive up together. If I am going, I will drive a red F360 Modena.
Great to see more people coming on board!!!! See schedule below I just received.

Eshel missed you on Saturday. Was at Chapters at 11:30am but not much going on there> got to go for a nice drive anyway. Walter from Hot Pipes is bringing a friend with Porsche also
eMeddy360 let us know for sure if you can make it when you find out. As for meeting somewhere we will see what develops. Any suggestions here?
