so know that ive had my lunch i can share the story of my second passenger losing hers...
cody showed up just in time sundee morning for our second run of the day. cody was very well received driving up in a very nice 964 cab and bringing the twins along. when i say twins i mean the ones that the booby-fairy brings. cody was a blast, a very fun lady..
after getting her signed in for a NASA ride along i proceed to do the "strap in" again. remain clinical in my approach but took more liberties because i suspected cody was a gamer. how much of a gamer id come not come to realize till later when she called me a puss for not handling her more during the process. so on grid i walk her through the safe word, give her the downlow and tell her during warm ups the point where she will need to let me know if she will need out. she kinda blows me off with tales of tuff chick but appreciates it none the less.
we get on track and i check with her a couple hot laps in and she's all thumbs up. great i think! well, we get the checker flag and i cool it down through two and open the dialog again and she proceeds to tell me she's going to be sick. i inquire as to her ability to go around the rest of the track to paddock and her body language says no way. at this point i have a decision to make, do i get thrown out of the event for stopping/pulling off track under the checker and let her puke or be combing puke out of interior carpet instead of writing you today.
i pulled off between 5 & 6 and as she got the helmet off i proceeded to help her out of the harness. needless to say the clinical approach was out the window and i had my way with the twins to recoup some of my loss of track time. by this time the entire DE parade goes by with her out the window puking.... here is a reenactment later that day in the paddock. note- i was only able to hold her hair in the reenact..
as we get back i am pretty sure i will be asked to leave the event after that poor bit of judgement of pulling off track under a checkered. cody felt pretty bad but as soon as i was able to wipe the chunks from her chin and put a bit of gator aid in her she insisted upon attending the session download so "we" could take our medicine. no mention, we skate... the NASA guy that was doing the downloads did stop by our spot in the paddock a while later and mention it and tell her she was not the 1st. i did ask if he was going to be asking me to leave and he said under green w/o a doubt but under the checkered "poor judgement, but understandable". the incident was mentioned in the last download which i did not attend and as i hear it everyone had a good time with it.
cody was a trooper and hung the rest of the day. she is a wild woman as it turned out, her and i hit it off pretty good. she really enjoyed taking me and her 964 around the track for the lunch time parade laps. i had never riden in a 964 cab and they are the berries, very nice car. we enjoyed a hoogie sandwich a bit later and really just laughed our asses off. i have been invited to come up to her place and go riding on her horses and i think i might go. seems like her, me a pony and some drinks would be some CRAZY fun. (cody if your reading this call me, i have been unable to get the coco-nuts off my mind....)
a few other shots,
here in true gay-liberal bay area fashion JP & i dry hump AGgie le dAGgie's car for luck just before sundee's race.
i guess we should have been humping tysons?
the group shot saturday night pre bbq--
i have never run with NASA before and the entire weekend affair is pretty cool. being around these friends of our is even better, and meeting some new friends no matter the circumstance is very better, and is the 08 P@P hard scheduled yet?
