Start of Day 1

We got to track and had a lovely egg Croissant sandwich.

Then the rain started. That started and interesting conversation on about who starts. The result was Picasso starts in the D and Torch in the Z. Good luck fellows!

After some transportation issue getting to the track and getting through tech we finally got to drive the Z on the track. Then after some experments on the setup, we settled into a schedule. We were able to get through all five Z drivers with no major drama.

Post practice we went throught car and performed some normal maintenance. That work was quick done , and now are into dinner.

Tech and BS Inspection

We went through Tech no troubles.

BS, a quick oh it is you and through we went.

Launch to Sonoma

We have two new to Sonoma drivers with us this weekend. Both have been hanging around and supporting the team fron the begining. The frist Stingray, did some work on Rubby (are first Z). A blow torch to the spring got us in the dirt and also a lot of trouble.

The second friend, Birexit, raced at the first Reno race way back in 2009. He now live in Phily, so is special to be here.

So, Birexit and I tasked to get first to the track. We lunch well. Got into Vallejo and from the RV, I notice the Daws with a lot of chamber. We pulled over and need a little work. With some head scratching, rummaging for tools, and few wacks alignment done “good enough” to continue.

Landed at Sonoma

Birexit and I landed and quickly set up. We are near the Grandstands close to spots in the past.
