[QUOTE=amber lamps;11864634]Now I want to know the best lap time of car 227 at Willow Springs.

Probably slower than Jack's but faster than yours...just guessing.

That is a very good guess.....though I did pick up some extra horsepower today. Got me a bucket of freshly zinced parts from Einmalig.


A little bird just informed me the Magnus car is #277, not 227. OOPS

According to the commemorative die cast model, you are correct on the number.

That clip was on Road & Track's website today. I'm no Magnus when it comes to generating public interest. But holy cow, I'm in Road & Track!



(Full disclosure: I've made no money, ever, for my Porsche hobby.)

I would think Magnus's POC lap times would be out there on the web somewhere. His '71 is probably not capable of the kind of lap times my 911 can do. But that would be true whether Magnus or I were driving it. I don't remember anyone having a negative thing to say about him in the POC.

Jack, you are the genuine article. You are worthy of your press.

Jack!

That's awesome!

I appreciate your balance between $ and lap times. Sometimes money doesn't buy fun.
