Off Topic Chatter (Drinks, Travel, Photos, Anything Goes)

So pretty eventful weekend and somewhat hilarious. I am at my track day with my Alfa and its been 5 years I have been attending events doing really well with out any mechanical issues that would leave me "stranded" so to speak.

Yesterday it was about 95F with massive humidity and we were doing timed laps (1x at a time) and after the 4th lap my Alfa dies in the middle. We have a known issue about Fuel Pump so I am assuming its that, later I find out it is related to heat so the car cools down and is good to go again,.

During one of my laps I break down (2x of the day) and I pull off the race line into the grass to make sure I don't impede any traffic behind me and I think to my self, man if I had a BEV I wouldn't have any of these fuel pump issues, sure the cells probably dont like getting super hot but BMS could easily handle track day temps I would hope.

Then like a Commercial, a Tesla passes me as I am broken down in the grass.

Anywhose pretty funny. I did end up beating the Tesla and coming in 6/72 people and 1st in my class as I set my hot laps before the car overheated but just too funny not to share.

I recently picked up a M2 to get back into HPDE, Auto X, etc. I also picked up a trailer to haul it to Summit Point, VIR, etc. using my Ram(Hoping the R1T will be up to the task).

Would you mind sharing more info about this event?

Thanks

Took the family to the beach for a few days for a change of scenery. 45 degrees and not a soul in sight. Can’t wait to get the Rivian loaded up and do more of these trips.
