It was earlier this year at a lapping day at a retired airstrip known as Bremerton RaceWay. Only about 14 cars total showed up that day so we were split into two groups of 6~7 cars. I couldn't think of a better way to spend $60 and cash in a sick day all at once. Of all the cars there, only one or two would have chewed me up. Rich boy toys. They were in the other group. One Porsche came late. This car just came from Fordahl Motorsports after being there for close to a year. Needless to say the total amount dumped into this ride is more than I'll see after many, many years of working. This car was truly bad. But I'm getting sidetracked here.
In my group there was only one car that I wanted to lap up. There is limited passing along the one main straight and only when waved by. Safety first. If you catch up to a car after the twisties but they can pull on you in the straightaway, you still have the right of way to pass. This way you aren't on their bumper lap after lap. Well, I had my chance with the 308. I caught up to him and rode up his ass in the twisties like Mr. Gere's gerbils do. He had no choice but to let me go by. He couldn't even pull on me along the straightaway. I owned this 308. It felt good to whoop on something Italian with a prancing pony on the hood.
What kind was it? A '75 Dino 308 GT4. Sorry, no V12 in this one. Okay, so it's not an Enzo but it still made my day. This one was tuned pretty well and had some nice and sticky Advan A032R's on it. It was the only car out there that day that was close to me. It being a Ferrari made me feel better about the little FC that could (I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...). Now if only some FD owners will come on out to play this season, I'll have some more to talk about. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif
