Sonoma Ferrari Challenge

Unless you are louder than a top fuel dragster, I think that you will be OK. I don't believe that they are imposing any sound restrictions, but when they do its 115 db. Is your car louder than a 458 Challenge?

 

I don't believe there will be an issue as the 'standard' 458 Challenge cars wouldn't make the DB on a limited day as those days are 103db and the Challenge cars throw over 113db.

 

I think you are going on Saturday, but if you are there on Sunday and I see a little wet...I will do the duty and pull you out of the car and slap you back to sanity...you have to do the same for me, as well. I really hope there is no rain.

 

The buddy system! Friends don't let friends drive their Ferraris on a wet track. I'm going all three days. She's being detailed right now just so that I can get her good and dirty.

 

Are we still talking about the car??

looks like Friday is my day -- forecast for rain went from 40% to 80% for rain Saturday and we have no rain slicks.

 

I will be there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I look forward to seeing some of you there; this is always a great event.

I think at this point I will be switching to Sunday given the forecast.

 

The rain tires are just standard 458 road tires......you know we could always swap your rubber car to car . At least there will be no traffic on track .

 

Saying rain only early Saturday ...

yep -- but how long will it take to dry the track out -- especially turn 10 where it likes to percolate up from the spring

Catching a red-eye from Hong Kong to SFO arriving Thursday night, just in time for the 3-day of fun

 

Hope to see some familiar faces there on Sunday.

 

I did a VIP pass switch (Sat to Fri) seamlessly by calling upon FNA concierge Jeffrey Garlock at:

(866) 551-2828

Sounds like we're coming by at around 11! Looking forward to meeting all of you - we'll be in the blue 575 SA

 

I'm gonna head down tomorrow morning from Lincoln/Sacramento if anybody wants to caravan.

 

I use my car as Enzo had intended, but too many excuses have accumulated at this point:
My SA2010 helmet shipment got delayed, it will rain, and the Ferrari just got detailed. I think I am coming in the Maserati for the Saturday portion.

I did not have luck with my emailed questions to the concierge, so I will try to call tomorrow before 3pm pacific. I am thinking my Ferrari corral parking in no more, but it is worth asking.

 

Thanks Joe I'll call Jeffrey tomorrow.

 

Anyone heading out from the East Bay? I'm in Livermore.

 

A group of us are meeting at TrackLogic in Rocklin, departing at 7:00. Please join.

You probably just picked up too much marbles on 1 side of the car. it happens, put a few more miles of spirited driving, get the tires warm and it should all flack off.

Next time on your inlap back to the pits just try to go over the kerbs to help scrub them off or better yet, stay off the dirty side of the circuit!

 

Great turn out today. Had an awesome time meeting other FOG members and chatting. Here is my light weight iPhone event coverage. See some of you guys tomorrow:
