Default New to Rennlist...Intro Post

Hey Rennlisters, I'm new here so I thought I'd do an intro post.
A bit about myself...the name's Luke. I'm from Little Rock, AR and at 18 I'm probably one of the younger guys on here. I started autocrossing a gokart when I was 8, and have loved cars and motorsports ever since. I then moved on to roadracing karts, and currently have an Intrepid shifter kart. With 49rwhp and weighing only 360lbs w/me in it, it's stupid fast. I've also been autocrossing my dad's 911 since I was 14. My next step in motorsports will hopefully be getting a SpecMiata sometime soon, but we'll see. I also do track events with my car pretty regularly. Oh yes, about my car...

I have a black 1989 944, the only year for the 2.7litre motor. It's in great condition, drives like a dream. It's pretty much stock, with a few upgrades: KONI "yellow" shocks, M030 front swaybar, cross-drilled brake rotors, and competition brake pads. Also have a torque-biasing LSD but haven't installed it yet.

This looks like a great forum, and I look forward to using it and meeting some cool people. Later, Luke






Whoops...the center console is broken in this pic, but it's fixed now

I've loved racing karts, met a lot of great people and got a lot of racing experience.
