Fun Fun Fun! Three nice days full of track time. Good to get out and see everyone and a big thank you to all that helped put Porshefest together. The old 44 ran very very well

Pleasure to meet you as well Brian. Sorry I called you "GT2 guy" on Sunday. I'm terrible with names but never forget a GT2

I'm currently in negotiations with my wife over VIR, but I really need a closer ... is your wife available to make the case for me?? She was making a number of good points but they don't seem to sound as convincing coming from my mouth.

Ha, I should have known you'd be active on a site named Dorkiphus with your dominant geek gene!

I hope I didn't make you look too bad this weekend, I felt very lucky to have you as an instructor and learned a lot. My favorite part was our mutual giddy laughter after braking hard into turn 1 again and again ...

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die ... oh no, I'm fine. I'll walk to the apex from here, thanks."

I'll definitely be back.

Congrats to all on the promo's and CR check out (you better not let me pass you antonio)

Had a great weekend as well, and wasnt even in my own car, thanks for the pic of it though joshd.
i was in intersports car that had been sitting in storage for 3 years....it was a shakedown ride...so i guess this means im a werks drover now...
car ran great all weekend, was a bit scary in the corners friday and saturday (shock or spring seemed to stick causing erradic movements when pushed hard guess it could also be the lsd) but by sunday it was much better, 2nd gear was a fight most of the weekend so if i slowed anyone down in turn 1 or 5 it was me searrching for a gear (when second locked it took 5 pumps of the clutch to get any gear).
Hunt and I had some great runs on saturday, the cars were very close to each other.

amazing how much more pedeling you have to do in a 2.7 vs a 3.2.....can only imagine the 914r's, but sheesh its fun to be able to be floored the second you turn in without the tail jumping out.

Sly came out of her incident in turn 10 great, she ended up sharing the white car with me and i just sat passenger (in a 3pt belt from 1978ish). her first time out in the car and she went into turn 10 where the previous incident happened and didnt flinched...i was expecting a 30 mile an hour first time round....sure enough she trusted herself and did great (a little slower but not crawling)
as she got used to the car and not using 2nd gear she really progressed and was driving great even with the 200lb ballast known as me.

My student nick in blue was flying in his 3.2 carrera. really progressed and hopefully i got him faster.

Went out with Dr. K and survived...its amazing i know.... he may say he needs more speed from the motor but he needs to get on hoosiers more and really learrn to drive the car as it will race...few places he could get on the gas a little would help but all in all he drove very well and i ended up just being dead weight.

Feel bad for all the carnage that happened, but am glad everyone got away just fine (or so my understanding is)

One last comment was, WHAT HAPPENED TO EVERYONE ON SUNDAY....mainly instructors...that place was a ghost town and the day was perfect.

Thanks to all who helped put it together.

Anyone know of a good 911SC roller or tub I can buy? (the red car's tub is bent too badly to repair)
Isn't there an '86 911 roller in the dorki classifieds? ( know its not an SC, but does it need to be an SC?)

Theres also an "RSR" project for sale.. SC based, already has flares...
