Hey all, just picked up a 2002 track prepped 996 and this is my first P-car. Looking forward to learning a lot about it. Special thanks to SDubs for helping me pre and post purchase.

Welcome, Brian. Hope you've got lots of skidpad time on that stable of BMWs--if so, that 996 is going to be a whole lotta fun for you! Have you done any events with our club?

You mean like this?

He of course didn't film my best sequence which was 3 full rotations sideways!

I've done several PCA events years ago, but nothing in the past 5 or so. Began tracking in 2000 and became an instructor sometime around 2004 or 2005 I think.

Yeah, if that worked the BMW guys would have been run out of the land of Dork years ago Now most of them own BMWs so that's that anyway

Glad to be on board, y'all. Thanks for the warm welcome. My wife and I very much miss our days at the track with all the good people and fun we have. If only we could set up at-the-track childcare...we'd be set.

Default Introduction

Hi all, My name is Jeff and I live in Fairfax. As a kid I grew up around Porsches and knew some day I'd own one. Well many years later it finally happened. A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a '97 993 C2. Looking forward to meeting other owners in the area.

I've been interested in racing as far back as I can remember. In the 90s I ran an old formula ford regionally with the SCCA and now I have an E36 M3 that has become a track day/auto-x car.

For now my plans are to keep the car as is and enjoy driving it. I can't wait for the weather to improve to start getting a few miles behind the wheel.

--Jeff
