Drove most the way home from Novoto yesterday so

I will try n get some 's in now

1st a lil review

SO yeah as I mentioned my 1st born had gifted me this at Christmas, then it was so far off I figured ok plenty of time to get prepared

I had written Sonoma on the Calendar on August 10th and when I was looking ahead at the calendar I saw that, I asked C-6 WHY did I write Sonoma on the calendar Aug 10 th ? knowing the Indy race is no longer there. I had TOTALY forgotten about this
well luckily the house move didn't affect our being able to go.

Fast Forward to Aug 10 he had procured an Air B&B for us to all stay at in Novato only 10 mins from the track if you've not been to Sonoma Raceway well theres really not much around there besides GRAPES

I truly WAS nervous about the as well never having been in a RARI sep once I sat in a 360
I HAD actually had the fun ride around the track in the Indy Car 2 Seater years back when we won those rides from our camping tickets.
Actually driving it though scared me I did reach out to my LG @racerchick RC who I knew had driven it in her BMW she headed me up to be careful of the Off Camber 's but assured me the instructor would take me thru it.

I also took the advice of @RT who when I told him I was scared he replied " you SHOULD be " as most who do this w / no fear are the ones who have bad results

I was quite nervous day of and well you are required to go into a Class pre drive. One of the instructors goes thru a lot of info regarding the cars and the track itself, explaining the Cones & what they mean. This is helpful but he also explains that yeah IF you should get 2 wheels off the track theres a fine + any repairs needed , 4 wheels off the track a bigger fine + repairs, HIT a wall etc or other car

this has me even more but he did recommend doing a Ride Along with one of the instructors 1st which helps you get a feel for the track etc...
a friend or anyone can go too for a fee. Well I decided to do this & let my come along. Also noted several of the MEN doing this too.

We had the LEAD Instructor in a HELL CAT and he was but very nice and explained stuff well.

I almost chickened out and was gonna just do a ride along in the RARI butt I didn't wanna disappoint my even though he said he wouldn't mind

Last second I said ok put the helmet on me

I think I did indeed make a new Track Record slowest ever around butt I honestly don't care about that part since it was fun by the time I got to Lap 3 and then it was pull into the pit think for a whimp like me 5 laps would have done the trick of feeling comfortable with the car itself and the s
I would recommend this XPERIENCE to all of you since I KNOW you'd kill it

talk about a mom

 

Love this track as well I have many fond memories here, 1st visit was many years ago with my BA @S2020 as when I was down from WA we went out to watch the BA s2k's have a track event there, met @cthree that day also the many years we attended and camped there for the Indy Race before they moved it to Laguna Seca

 

Quite seeing and HEARING all these supercars as we entered, NUFIN like the sound of a RARI

 

They all sounded Bad A$$ though

 

this was us walking out to the HELLCAT for our Ride Along
I showed @RT this one and he said " Jack in The Box Mom " and " Bobble Head Mom " I think I need @E ticket to do his chop magic on it and make me JACK

 

time to roll out
