Two more excellent reasons to hate Treynor

[treynor]

Ben - this may have been covered but do you put track insurance on any of these things when taking them out to race? You obviously push these things pretty hard plus being out on track with other people (I think that would be a bigger concern most of the time as you go blasting past them lol)

I do not. The ole rule of "don't take anything on the track which you wouldn't be able to live without" applies. And since I have a far-better-than-average record for track damage on my cars, buying track insurance would basically mean I'm subsidizing less-careful drivers over the long run.

How do you fit your balls in your driving suit?

288 GTO

Was that the "Magnum P.I." car?

Interesting and certainly makes sense to me. I can only imagine how high the rates would be on something like that, and not to mention, on the cars you bring to the track.

Playing with the quick quotes on 'ontrack insurance' the highest you can quote is $150,000 and it's a little over a grand.

A $1.8m 599 evo would probably be an expensive car to insure for a weekend lol.

He doesn't. He just props them up on his bank account whenever he goes to the track. LOL Don't track it if you can't afford to fix it.

If there was a 288 GTO on the property, Higgins never would have allowed Magnum to even look at it

 

[Coiled03]

No, no. I'm pretty sure that was a 308 GTS.

Oh I see. The Ferrari connoisseurs must be appalled by the mistake I made.

That's the one!

No worries. It's roughly akin to mistaking a Ford GT for a Mustang GT. They're both made by the same company, they both are available in many of the same colors -- it's almost the same thing

Lol, well that is is quite the gap indeed. I made a big mistake. I blame my ignorance on my bank account. If I didn't have to harvest my own organs to afford one, I would know more about them. ha

And what a terrible thread to make this mistake in. I didn't realize until now just what thread this was, ha. My apologies. =-/

Absolved. The two cars do in fact look quite similar.

Ok treynor,

When are we going to see you at 24hr Daytona, 12hr Sebring or Le Mans in a GTD or GTE-AM 488?

One step at a time. #Racewife and I are driving in the 8 hour AER endurance race at Road Atlanta next month, which will no doubt be interesting.

Ben if you are ever bored come up to our local private track for a weekend, I'll give you guest passes. http://www.area27.ca/

Me and you both lol. One of my car buddies is really into the exotics and knows every detail. When he’s talking about them to me I tell him that same thing. They are so far off my radar there’s no point...

I try to counter is Ferrari talk with my knowledge of the newest 5.0

Treynor, did Ferrari invite you to purchase an FXX K evo?

The EVO package is available as an upgrade to the FXX-K; everyone who has a 'K has the opportunity to upgrade. We'll be upgrading #Racewife's car for sure.

Any idea if this is a public spectator event? I would love to go watch the racing.

I believe it's open to spectators. Say hello if you stop by!
