Since I live about 30 minutes from the track and most of my friends and
relatives are car nuts, there's always somebody who just "happens" to visit
us over the Historics weekend. Even if I didn't want to go, I'd have little
choice. :^) Last year it was a friend from Australia. This year it's my
brother and his two kids, visiting from Virginia that I'll be hanging with
at the track.

You need a new 360 spider. Drove it today at PIR for a Ducati track
day--they invited me as long as I'd give a rides to the winner of a drawing.
I turned pretty consistent 1:26's with no chicane. Not bad for a street
car--Peyote does 1:32 with the chicane, and it's generally 3-4 seconds
different, so roughly 1:28 for Peyote. Of course it doesn't turn 160 at the
end of the straight like the Ferrari does. I think my "winning" passenger
was fairly scared for the first few laps--got mighty quiet. But he lightened
up after that.
Anybody else going to Monterey? You out there Baxter? Greg?

I am going to try to go to the Concorso as well on Firday, probably early
and then go the Point Lobos for a walk with my son. Perhaps we can agree to
meet up at a certain time at on Firday morning at the Concorso.......
I was going to drive the Ferrari up, but seems that the air conditioning has
decided to behave badly. Going through LA with the windows down in hot
weather is not appealing. I did that once and the car is so streamile that
air barely comes in from the windows.
And no, I am not going to drive the GT6!

Probably. I want to go to the Concorso Italiano on Friday, and we usually
find something to do on Saturday, though there's going to be a lot of the
really cool cars on track then.

I'm racing. I have practice on Friday and race on Sunday. You'll need to be
really early--we usually get there at 8 and there's a bit of a line but not
too bad.
As plans currently stand, I am bringing along my 5 year old son. I am not
sure how that will effect my ability to get their early. Are you planning on
being around the pits on Saturday?
