Fancy boy?

We don't bring a pit boy with us to clean bugs off between sessions

Easy way to get free work from Randy is play dumb. He gets pissed and does it. Works everytime....

Or if you like something a lot you get good at it and if you are very good at something you like doing it.

I should not mess with cars, just drive them. I've broken more crap DIY then I spent getting it done right or keep handing Randy beers.

Remember the man lives in his huge oversized 4 car garage stocked with usables for RS and beer and more beer.
I start sweating just thinking about changing my rear pads. it stresses me out, but I will attempt tomorrow. Maybe I need to get beer before I start...

Finally checking in on RL. Wow, this thread got some legs. Did we not spend enough time together last weekend?

We should have got video of the rave party Peter threw in the bed of his baller wagon. I'll bring the glow sticks and rolls next time.

My goal is to have an extra car in parts in my garage eventually

A six pack of Dog Fish Head 60 IPA and a Padron 64 cigar go well with brake pads

I need to finish mine tonight, so need to stop at the store

Thinking of where I can hang a flat screen TV in my garage

It's about the driving right?....well you all need to sell your RS cars and get some spec boxsters and go racing...then I could compete! LOL....

Trakcar, if you need help with your pads...I'm good at that...I can help and I won't drink you out of beer like Randy.

LOL....seriously Randy is one of the nicest guys anyone will ever meet at the track. When I had the Forgeline wheel issue Randy was going to let me finish my day with his wheels/tires....he offered without a blink of the eye.

The Greek and I have the same car. This past weekend while changing his pads one of the puck came out and dripped brake fluid all over the floor. The two fo us were trying to figure out if it needed to be bled and then how were we supposed to do it. I was thinking that one guy gets in the car and pumps up the brake pedal and the other guy loosens the nut on the caliber and lets some fluid/air out (with paper towels on the floor to catch all the fluid, lol). After we have bs'ed around for 15 minutes coming up with our plan Randy rolls by and wonders what us idiots are scheming. The Greek tells Randy the problem and Randy takes over. In a whirlwind flash Randy has some pump thing hooked up to the reservoir and a special catch tube/bottle on the caliber and then in less than 2 minutes he is done (a lot of air came out!). I looked at The Greek and shrugged.

Randy is the RS man!

Drag Racing Randy's 996 GT3 Track car. He came down from New York for Winterfest.

I put some female ballast on the passenger's side to make it fair. No luck for him.

This kid shows up with a C6 Z06 that could not idle, drag racing slicks, I thought I was going to lose this one, claimed it is a 10 secs car. Clarke is my passenger, and I pull a trick from my old bag.

Victory: FIAT
