Laguna Seca Pirelli Challenge 5-2010

The first weekend of this month we were at lovely Laguna Seca for a race weekend! Wonderful weather (although the evenings were a bit chilly), and a great crew made for a super race weekend....it made the drama bearable...

As every racer knows, packing always takes at least 3x as long as you plan for...we were no exception to that rule. Thursday we headed North....for a casual drive up to Monterey. It was so casual, that our caravan made it into the racetrack at around 10pm! Try being quiet parking a 48' trailer in the dark!

After a quick dinner at Denny's - I believe ALL racers develop a taste for Denny's as they are more than likely the only place open in the middle of the nite after pulling an 18hr day at the track - we headed to the hotel.

Friday, we had some last minute prep to do at the track - oh, and the car owner brought us the "special" exhaust he needed installed to run for sound requirements at Laguna. Overall - a relatively easy day at the track...although the hints of clutch problems were sneaking up....we needed a set of clutch cables - for a GT3 Cup - which are special cables.... you see where this is going?

Saturday was where the drama (well minor drama) kicked in. Clutch issues ALL DAY LONG...we were adjusting the clutch cables, then when that quit working as a "fix" then we moved on to trying to find a special hose....WAY more difficult than you think...finally a used replacement hose showed up....that worked for a while....but it didn't last...

However we were able to make the podium!! We took 3rd place in our race on Saturday!! WTG crew & Good job driving John!

Unfortunately Sunday we had to simply park the car....all our hard work was just not enough to get it back on the track. We needed parts, and Sundays are not the day to look for them. We all got to see the races from other spots than the front straight....that's always fun...and eat lunch before we started to pack things up to head home....

Looking forward to the next race event! Be sure to find us on Facebook for more pictures and updates!

AAA Speedway - Pirelli Cup

We just finished a GREAT weekend at AAA Speedway - Pirelli Cup Challenge.

We had a small crash (it was more like a big nudge...LOL) and had to do some repairs. A couple of tire changes, a tweak here & there, and an alignment - and John was good to race some more!

It was busy, busy, but it's always a great weekend when you can spend time at the track with friends and family and GOOD FOOD! Burgers on Friday nite, and Korean BBQ on Saturday! YUMMMMMM !!

OCRC Event - Saturday

Had a great day at OCRC's event on Saturday....

GREAT weather, YUMMY burgers (that Glenn "slaved" over), and good friends...what a super way to spend a Saturday. We got to meet some new people, and enjoyed the conversations.

Can't wait to see everyone at the next event at the Great Park in Orange County!

OCRC Event 01/10/10

Just attended another OCRC (www.ocracecraft.com) event last weekend! Great weather - a little cool (OK it was pretty cold), but got to get track time before the rains came.

We were there just for Saturday, but had to set up all our stuff anyways....Glenn worked on a couple projects on the war-wagon during our down time, and they day went smoothly.

Troy Mullen and his boy rented a customer car for the day, and they really liked the car! They got a full day on the track....

The car handled well, until they wore out the tires....LOL


Stephan came out and hung out, and Chuck helped out (crewed) for us.

Overall, the day was great! Had fun seeing our friends, and making some new ones. Of course a day at the track beats a day stuck in the office any time!!

OCRC Event @ El Toro Marine Base 10/2009

We were just at another GREAT OCRC (www.ocracecraft.com) event this past weekend. They held the event at the old El Toro Marine Base in Irvine, CA. The weather was SUPER!! Sunny but not hot, with a light breeze throughout the day.

We were a little busy...as there were only 3 of us from GYM there. We brought out 2 cars & needed to support those, and then there was another customer car that was brought out by the owner that needed our help as well!! WOW busy, busy for a "test only" weekend...HAHA

Who said track days are boring?!?! The red car was rented out, and fortunately had no major issues! We had to get tires mounted 2x, but the car ran like a champ! The renter loved the setup and wants to get a small group of his friends together and do a semi-private weekend!

Now don't get me wrong, we do get a few minutes to enjoy the track days...Chuck & Glenn got to ride around in the pit cart and "supervise" the track and then we all get some down time to eat lunch....YUM seafood salad (one of G's favorites)

As usual, OCRC did a great event, and everyone that attended had a great time! For more pics of this event, visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/home.php?#/pages/glenn-yee-motorsports-llc

Can't wait for the next event!
