Default 944/Autocross cake

My wife had a 944 autocross theme caked made for me. Came out kind of nice. Best thing is I got a new set of Sparco seats and a session with the Mario Andretti Experience.

Pity that the car wasn't running...maybe she should have done a 911 autocross cake...

All kidding aside, very nice cake. You're a lucky guy.

JIm,
That is so cool! And Happy B'day to boot! ....you youngster, you!!

By the way...I wanna know how managed to take out those cones on the inside of the turn? I know you can drive better than that.

And don't mind Dr. K's comments. He's simply too afraid to try something as challenging as autox.

Sweet!

And it looks like it's moving just as fast as a real 944!

tony, if you look closer you'll see that the cones are actually flipping in mid-air and will be landing shortly, correct side up and back in the chalk box.

Awesome cake - congrats on your 2nd 39th Birthday Jim! Hope to see you Sunday.

And don't mind the 911 nay-sayers - if it was a 911 cake it would be all oily.
