Good to hear that your car is handling well. Which shocks did you use? Now I am curious to see how it feels.

P.S. If you have datafiles that you want some know-nothing hack to look at, you know how to send them.

You looked good through 10 (as did }{ and Jazz). I am not certain at all, but from the tower it looked like you might be able to turn in just a little earlier without problems at trackout, but of course you can't tell too much when you are not in the car and I'm not exactly Senna anyway.

Ryan,

I saw the mention of "RS" and upgrades; what mods did you make to your car? It was very quick already!

TD,
The shocks are the basic Koni adjustables. They're now on all 3 944's. I find them to work quite well.

I was trying some different lines thru T10, and I agree that the earlier turn-in probably works best. I also know there's a bit more room at track-out but I was trying to keep the rumble strips as a safety net, so didn't use them much.

I'll try to send you the data file from my last session. Ran some good laps, but also ran into a lot of traffic, both in front and from behind .

It was great seeing you and the twins!

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do quite as much pic snapping as usual. Here's a link to the pics I was able to take on Sunday.

Nice pictures, Tony. I think you should start running in red so you can take pics of black.

This is my favorite:

Look closely at the picture of it in the first post. Appears the ghetto had a little fun with just inscribing it as an "RS" thru all the dirt ... still bone stock except rear toe links, pads, and slotted rotors (and of course safety gear).

Yeah, thanks a lot, Tony. On my street tires and having left my GT3 at home, she was one of only 2 cars I could pass until you went out with her. Then was was down to zero because I didn't see that '44 again. So much for my ego

You could've had my RA1s, but I guess you don't want to give up your last excuse.
