I spent half the day cleaning her up,was long over due for cleaning,washed her up then while she was wet used a clay bar section at a time along with the hose,then applied some Malco wax and finished it off with some Malco glaze,to help retain the wax.Z

Spent this morning out at Phx International Raceway Driving NASCAR Race cars with my wife, youngest boy and daughter-in-law.   What a Blast!  Here's my son getting in his Nomex. Left click any pic to enlarge...


He and I in our cars... The deal was 1 hour classroom, 5 laps ride along training (had helmet 2-way radios)... the 8 laps alone in the same car... guidance from tower via radio... speeds to 150-170 mph!


My wife didn't want to drive... but I talked her into a ride along for 3 laps with a pro driver... Here she is climbing in.  She exited the car after the ride with a big smile ....and as a member of the 150mph club!.... Plus having gained a greater appreciation for the doors on our cars, LOL


If you get a chance you should do this!... The pro drivers said Talledega and Charlotte are big enough that you can go even faster!  Wide angle screaming by pit row....

Your SHO looks amazing as always, Z, quite the headturner!  I've only heard of Malco Brake-off, not the wax/glaze products?  How long have you been using them?

What is your advice, BiGMaC, for people who haven't driven in triple digits?  I assume you were solo on the track for your sessions, no other vehicles?  What do you have to watch for?

Actually Manu at any one time 9 cars were rolling....there were 3 cars with us amateurs, 3 cars with amateurs doing the teaching ride along... these groups stayed higher on the banks...  and the just ride alongs got the low fast lane... They set up cones where they want you off the throttle into the turns.... rpms limited at 5500K... after you get the car rolling you just stay in 4th gear.... That is not boring on a 1 mile long track!.... They don't want you drafting, rubbing, etc... the tower used the radio to tell us about traffic from the rear (no mirrors!)  and what was in front of us...which is needed at 200ft/sec! they would tell us when to go full throttle again... seemed quick sometimes, but they were right.    These cars of course don't have speedometers.. The tach is the main gauge.  Each driver had a separate "coach".... actually on my first lap he kept telling me to go faster! It's well controlled, and you just sign a huge release... they teach a bit of basic technique... and tell you what you can and can't do.  You'd have to be stupid to get into much difficulty.  These guys knew the cars and the track like the back of their hands!  I came away with an even greater appreciation for the effort and teamwork involved in the sport.... as well as how flimsy the plastic bodies on the cars are, LOL  The thrill of being turned loose in a dedicated NASCR racer is a real thrill... go to the bathroom first and eat light!

Z...I love the angle cut on the Corsa... looks great!

After we got in from PIR I detailed the big girl, foam cannon Iron-x decontaminated, polished out the spider-like scratches where they pushed me into the shop last week using Reflect and CarPro white finishing pad (mirrored it out in 10 minutes!), and did a Reload application...still blows me away that 25 cc will cover the car!

Manu.... you should do it, any ca enthusiast should!... Here's the number to schedule nation-wide on the T-shirt they gave me today...
