Default Went to a DE today...(56K, don't even attempt)

Sadly it was the last PCA event at this race track before it closes due to development and a loss of lease...Anyway, to celebrate this event, this DE was of Monumental proportions. we had helicopters there, professional photographers, lots and lots of Porsches, (I was one of 4 924S's there...I didn't know there were 4 in Colorado!) Anyway, I have pics. so here goes.

I will start with pics of the photo shoot, and then go to pics of the action.

Looks like fun. I need to get into DE's sometime soon, just too cost prohibitive right now.

They just built a new road course in Joliet. not sure how they're going to run it though.

I've recently just gotten into it pretty hard... I've done two in the past month or so... taking a break for october, but nov and december look like pretty eventful months for DE's for me... So many tracks for me to choose as well... Willow springs, streets of willow, buttonwillow, Thunderhill, laguna seca, and more... damn, I have to get to all of them! what would be really nice is when i can start going in my 951!

You west coast guys have it good having weather all year round. My car is coming off the road in about a week or two. I 've had it with the stock suspension at the track. I am going to get a jump on doing the suspension over before it gets real coooold. PCA is one of the cheapest outfits for DE. You 're not supposed to be taking pictures when you work corners!!!
