[QUOTE]Originally posted by SydeWaySix: [QB] I Finally had a chance to run with Nor-Cal Shelby club at Sonoma Raceway yesterday for their Mini Nats events. Like last year, tons of very nice cars! AC cobras, Shelby's of all years, every late model Cobra you can think of, and more! Definitely lots of eye candy. I was a bit upset about the no-passing zones (in any turn!), but it was ok I guess. I also wish it was a little more organized as far as track times. There was no set time for each group to come on track like other organizations I've ran with. They were on schedule to have a cold track by 4:30 and they stuck to it...even with all the accidents and black flags throughout the day. This really cut into some groups' track time. I ran in the green group, which I was hesitant to do since it was just one level down from the blue/race group. Like SteveL once told me, these guys run at slower speeds...and it was true! First session out I was stuck in traffic behind a bunch of "fast cars." By my last two laps. Finally got through the crowd and had a little solo fun lol! I didn't even use the cool down lap to cool down since my car/tires/brakes didn't even get a chance to warm up yet. In my next three sessions I tried to start closer to the front of the pack to avoid the herd. This definitely made my experience much better! There was a group of Hooked on Driving instructors that were running corvettes....and they were fast! I let their pack of Z06's pass me each time and then continued by my merry self through the track :D . My tires were sliding all over the place but i was still able to maintain composure and try out some new techniques. All in all it was a pretty good day. Will I run with them again...yes, most likely. It is defintely fun running with cars of the same type, but I expected to see a lot more action going on. I'll post my pics and videos once I get them uploaded :patriot: [/QB][/QUOTE]
