My two cents:
When I got my blue cobra I couldn't wait to drive it every day and night. The XMAS parties seemed much larger and people knew each other. Some people have passed away and we are not crazy young 60 Year olds anymore.
The wives that use to come liked it because it was new and fun for the spouses. The Marines were there etc. Last few years the wife's don't want to look at the same old Carbs.
Bondurant is exciting. Bondurant is a destination point. We all wish we could race around Bob's track but many of us are just plain uncomfortable doing that. Remember you do not have to go crazy. You can go as fast as you like but it does feel good stomping on the pedal and feel the speed and
not just in first gear. When I played on the track frankly it scared the **** of me. I kept thinking:
What if the brakes fail?
What if I hit something? My wife will freaking kill me. (why we have secret checking accts)
What if a stone hits the windshield?
But after each day I drove home with a smile on my face.
You guys all missed out on that 80th Birthday weekend. Unbelievable!!.
I say the more the merrier! Invite the other club members? At the end of the day only about 60% will actually show up. Stuff happens.
See Bob because he doesn't have that many years left on this earth. Hell he may even drive your car with you in it?? He makes you really feel great as he discusses the slides around several of the track turns with one hand and explaining stuff to you as you are holding on with a big smile on your face. You may even buy some pretend shoes!!
The autocross seems like a lot of time spent waiting and in 15 seconds it is over or something. Kind of fun but not like the track. Been there done it for 4 days and it was better then sex?
I am in regardless. If you need another person to fill up autocross I am in. I love the main track except that first winding big turn.....
Count me in for the track if it happens.
