Ferrari Challenge - Sonoma

An old car + bad driver = Grass landing!

 

At least you didn't cause them to unfurl the red flag like that jackass who spun on Friday.

 

Like last year. I managed to get a shot of several CS. Funny how they seem to hang together, like a school of fish (sharks?).

Hey -- Turn 2 is tough stuff -- that's where most drivers lose it - off camber - etc., then there is Turn 10 … toughest parts of the track.

 

You missed my CS this year ... but it wasn't hanging out with the other CS'.

What a fun weekend! It was a three-day-party for me

 

Flounders?!?

I wasn't there so I don't know the details. I'm sure the spin was a learning experience for the driver. Might've saved the persons life to have found the limit in those conditions.

I'm offended by your comment. Why do you call a person who spins a car a jackass? The very best drivers have spun cars on tracks. Are they jackasses? Maybe you have as well. Are you a jackass? If you haven't….maybe you will. Will you then be a jackass?

You've illustrated you're no gentleman calling a guy, or perhaps it was a woman, who spun out a jackass. It's people like you who are seemingly elitist and negatively color the perception others have of Ferrari drivers.

 

Lew....... He's talking about himself.

 

Oh! No need to be so hard on himself! It wasn't clear to me. My apologies.

 

Worth a watch:

Good video Dave.

 

nice video...jackass...

ha ha, great catching up with you on Sunday. It truly was a fun weekend to have a Ferrari.

 

I just got my Forza, she looks great and sounds great too!

 

Hey everybody, Butcher's 355 (Monica) is featured in this month's Forza. Forza :: Beauty & Brawn : Buyer's Guide: F355 She's never looked better!

 

Thanks guys,

It was a great experience watching DB do his work on Monica. He is a true artist.

And your tires had enough tread to pass tech inspection. On a roll, you are!

 

I was lucky enough to snag a ride with Kevin in his 355 during a touring session in 2012. He's a fantastic driver and a true gentleman.

 

Here are some links to more pics from Sunday:

Dave Wilson shows how it's done.

Great video....thanks for posting!

 

87 mph in the Ss with a front engine car following a 360 with no brake lights … way to go Dave W! Check the body roll on that 550.
Nice steel at 14:10. Ethan gets points to for some nice driving.

 

Good reference for Sonoma. Thanks for sharing.

 

+1. I had been following Dave Wilson's advice since he explained the correct/fastest line to me some time back, but it's great to see it actually run, so you can actually visualize it. I like how he advises constant radius for turn 1, which is faster than running deeper down the straight then cutting in. A lot of people lose time in Turn 5, too. Dave shows us the fast way around it. It does have an apex; it's just not marked with a curb. I'm still too squeamish about carrying a lot of speed into the carousel, though. Straight line braking!

 

Get a second set of wheels and throw some slicks on them -- night and day in the carousel
