Default Short video of uncorked 924S !

Here's a fun video of a straight-piped 924S at California Speedway. I was racing in the 944 spec class and those pesky Hondas kept getting in the way. LOL! Just kidding about that. I always try to avoid contact. Before you get started, I was found to be "Not at fault" in the light contact with the Honda.
Turn it up and enjoy the sounds of our little fat (100mm) 4 cylinder engines!

You of course have 0.5L more displacement and twice the valves.

I usually go at least twice per year. If you need some mortivation to go here is some video from one of my trips. You can even hear where I broke my muffler at the end... LOL.

When are you guys trying to go? VIR has track days starting as soon as Feb and they run until December. Ill be there March 3-4, assuming I can get my car ready in time, and then a few more times over the course of the year.

hard to say, hes trying to sell his current car, and mine being the only car i have (i break it, well, cant buy another). besides, were both under 18 and my parents atleast, arent to fond of the idea

and then were not completley sure of the restrictions( special liscense, age requirements, costs) yada yada yada. ill check their website again, if i can find it. but from what i remember i couldnt find to much info.

You're a lot closer than 4 hours. Right out 58 Near Danville. Mapquest Milton, NC.

VIR is a hoot. 944 is a little outclassed in PCA, but still fun. Catch them at South Bend!
