We went to Infeonon (Sears Point) Raceway for a weekend of Open Track with the NorCal Shelby American Club. Elizabeth drove a couple of sessions on Saturday and Dean drove the rest of the weekend. It was Dean's first opportunity to drive the race car and it satisfied every expectation he had. A teenage dream realized, Dean can hardly wait for the next track day in August at Thunder Hill in Willows.
Race had a great time on his scooter. He spent time riding under the Grandstands and down the hill from turn 2. Unfortunately, he lost control at a very high rate of speed coming down the hill, went off a cliff, and ended up in the crushed rock. His chest and legs were red rashed and showed dozens of small holes from the rocks. Fortunately, he was wearing his full face helmet so his face was spared the same treatment. Now he thinks he needs a new helmet because his is all scratched on the front. He chose to not ride any more that weekend.
