Sam - Good luck on the left coast, we expect to still see you around the board.

Keith - Thanks for the kind words, I think you kept the right Porsche

Wow, that was a lot of. I realize that my car has a lot of untapped potential that I haven't even begun to master. I hope I haven't set the record for being the guy to get tail happy soonest in a Fun Run (somewhere between The Plains and Halfway) Of couse that being my first time slipping the back end set the precendent for my caution throughout the rest of the drive, apologies to the guys behind me!

Great run Charlie!

BTW; I noticed when I got home, I smelled an awful lot like other cars' exhaust!!!! :o

Steve, you have to keep that gas pedal down going through those twisties . If you let off the gas or brake on such sharp curves, your tail will definitely be sliding out.
The exhaust smell is normal, start driving your SC daily and the smell will be your new cologne :P .
Sam, good luck out on the West Coast. Take care of your hot Carrera, that fabspeed was music to my ears while I was travelling behind you yesterday.

It sounds / looks like you guys had a great time. Oh well, I'd better get back to work and try not to think about frittering away such a nice weekend on office work.

Sam,

We'll all miss you on the runs. I suppose you'll be lurking about on Pelican?? Look us up when you are back in the area. Good luck!

Keith

2nd Half of the run. By the end I had an accumulation of dead bugs smudging up the windshield.
