What happened to your PS pump. Was it the ps pump mount/balance shaft mount? My mount broke about a month ago and had to replace it. PIA

Great to meet a number of the fellow Wasser-pumpers at the NNJR Event. got to meet Dan, and a few of you for the first time face to face. It was a very cool site to see a parking lot full of 944's and 924S's. We usually only have three or four, and I think we had a total of ten this weekend.
Like Z, I had a good day and I worked hard to wring out everything out of my little 924S. I had a bit of an advantage, as this was my fourth event for the season, so I was in the "Zone" on the first run. Ultimately, pegged a 55.161 in S2. I've reached the limits of the M030 suspension, and was reaching the end of suspension travel, despite fresh Bilsteins. Looks like Double Adjustable Konis for the Rear are the next logical step.
Hope you guys enjoyed the course and the event. Looking forward to visiting some of your events. I have family on the East End, so LI is still home turf.

It looks like I missed a really nice day. Had a great time with my son, had his first communion yesterday and couldn't be in 2 places at once. Now I hear next Sunday has been cancelled and nothing until June except for the Car Control clinic. 
Damian, sorry to hear about the pump. Was looking forward to hear about how the car performed. That suspension in the car is awesome.
Hope to see everyone at the CCC or next event. Any takers for this Saturday's Concours at Schooley's Mtn.?

Went to the first North Jersey Porsche Club Autocross Yesterday. Awesome weather, way too many people showed up. 137 drivers, they cut off way too late. 40something X class drivers. We only got 5 runs, really long day. Here are pics I took. Enjoy!
Fastest time of the day went to the fenderless stickered red 924. Closely followed by the modified GT3.
Pics in the best folder were cropped slightly and adjusted. They are my favorites.

Ohh for your photography buffs.... Canon Digital Rebel 70-200mm f/4 L shots taken in medium rez medium quality to save space on the memory card.

Um, I don't think so. During his FTD run, he was called off-course. He claims his video tape shows he clearly stayed on course, but the AX chair refused to go to the video tape.

Thanks for the comments guys. Taking pics is 1/2 the fun of autox for me. Too bad i can't control the sun.
I'd really like to setup some video cameras around an autox course sometime this summer. once i get my car running i'm gonna go with a miniDV camera fed by a few pin-hole cameras around the car.

What I think would be helpful is a super-imposed shot of what the feet are doing relative to the car on the course.

It was nice to meet everyone. I had a great time despite working for hours on end in the afternoon listening to a story about the problems of meeting people on the internet (Dan you know what I'm talking about).
Yarin, thanks for the pictures. There's lots of good ones.
