Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Idiots with money

[Clarence Romero Jr. (clyderomerof4]

These are the same clowns in the motorcycle world Charles 

They buy the fastest thing in roadracing world magazine 

Bring it to a track day 

And are a 500 knot cheerleader in straight aways 

In the turns they are as slow as a Kmart shopping cart with a bad wheel!

Thank god you survived the Daytona experience in one piece 

When I got hurt on the bike years back I took my 512 to

Carolina Motorsport track

My club was doing a track day there so I wanted to still help out even

Though I couldn’t ride

Some dolt said 

Don’t you ever track your car?

Don’t you want to go fast?

I told him that the nose wheel lift off speed on an F-4 was 165 knots on any one given day, and that I had over 3,000 hours in that bird and he could do the math with regards to going fast!

Motorcycling is like flying

It’s self cleansing!

When you get it wrong you know immediately 

That’s why the deep pocket crowd stays away from bikes

There is no airbag to protect them

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you have no enemies, you have no character !

lol. I don’t do much with the FCA since the vast majority of their events are heinously expensive. However, a few weeks ago I did their track event at Daytona International Speedway since I wanted to try that track. There was a scattering of interesting cars from a variety of marques, but the vast majority of attendees were 458/488 chassis. I signed up for the intermediate group since I am realistically low- to mid-intermediate with most groups I run with.

 

This lot was hilarious though. There were probably 40-50 cars in the intermediate group, and of those, maybe 6 had any concept of the racing line. It was quite clear that most of them were just slogging through the infield road course section as a necessary evil to be able to hammer it on the banked oval sections. It was literally a 30mph poser parade through anything with a turn included.

 

After lunch I found the Chief Instructor and asked if I could run with the advanced group for a session or two. At most events, those guys would consider me a chicane, but this time I was only passed by three cars – a seriously quick Corvette C7 Grand Sport, an F12 and an IMSA prototype. Pretty sure after the event, all of the intermediate guys drove to the local hot spot and assumed two parking spots each.  J

Bingo!!  The last sentence says it all for me.

There are those who buy cars for the way the cars make them feel when they are alone behind the wheel.  Many of those people are my friends (plenty here)

 

Then

 

There are those who buy cars for the way they think the cars make them look in public.  I tend not to gravitate their way.

 

I'd rather spend a whole Saturday in Rob Garven's garage than 2 minutes with the dork that just bought a 488, showed up at the local hot spot and took two parking spots by the front door.

Not like the dolts who buy the cars for the wrong reason
