I GOT A CHANCE A COUPLE OF WEEKENDS AGO TO DRIVE ON THE TRACK AT INFINEON RACEWAY IN SONOMA (SEARS POINT) FOR US OLDER PEOPLE. I GOT TO DRIVE THERE FORMULA 3 RACE CAR.
MAN O MAN WHAT A BLAST. FULL RACE SUIT I HAD MY BLUE SWADE RACING SHOES ON. WE HAD A TALK BEFORE WE GOT IN THE CARS. THEY TOLD US HOW TO SHIFT THEM AND WHAT TO DO INCASE U CRASH AND WHAT BUTTON TO PUSH IN CASE OF A FIRE AND ALL THE SAFETY RULES.
THEN IT WAS TIME TO GET IN AND GET STRAPED IN. WENT TO A PORTION OF TRACK THAT WE CAN DO SHIFT TESTING. THEY SAID IF U GET TO FIFTH GEAR YOU SHOULD BE DOING 100 MPH I WAS IN FIFTH ALOT.
AFTER ABOUT 10 LAPS OF THAT IT WAS TIME TO GO INTO HE PITS AND TALK SOME MORE.
THEN IT WAS FOLLOW THE LEADER. IT WAS A MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION WITH THERE DRIVERS PUTTING THEM THRU THERE PACES, POWER SLIDING INTO THE CORNERS AND US FOLLOWING. ARE CARS WERE LIKE ON RAILS. THERE WERE THREE PACE CARS AND SEVEN OF US. THEY WANTED US TO FOLLOW THEM AT A CAR AND A HALF BACK. THAT GOES AGAINST ALL IVE BEEN TAUGHT
BUT IF YOU DONT YOU CAN LOSE SIGHT OF THEM AND WHEN YOUR NO FAMILER WITH THE TRACK YOU CAN GET IN TROUBLE AS ONE OF THE GUYS SPUN OUT. CAUSE HE LOST SIGHT AND DIDNT LINE UP CORRECTLY FOR THE NEXT TURN.
IVE BEEN ON THIS TRACK BEFORE BUT ONLY IN A STAIGHT LINE. MAN IVE BEEN MISSING ALOT WHEN YOU HAVE TO TURN RIGHT AND LEFT AND GOING OVER HILLS AND STUFF. THIS WAS THE MOST FUN I HAD WITH MY PANTS ON IN A LONG TIME.
WELL IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE I RECOMMEND IT. ITS SOMETHING YOULL NEVER FORGET. YOU CAN ALSO DRIVE AUDI R8.
