Just thought Id post a few pics from today. I met up with 3 other Vegas locals...Bill, Phil and Frank at 930..left for the track at 10..and spent the day watching a pair of very fast 928s. IMHO, they must really PO some of the highly priced and funded cars/teams.

In a nut shell...20 some cars. Joe qualified 2nd..Mark 4th....Mark and Joe placed 4th and 5th for the race.. Their cars were VERY fast. Im sure they will chime in with details. More racing tomorrow.

Im sure Joe, Mark and Rob are over at the Polo Towers enjoying a or two about now.

I agree great picture. Sorry I couldn't hang with you guys for the race. The wife was in the car tending to the baby. I might try to go out there again tomorrow.

#452 appears to be Mike Avitt from California.

Tony

Correct Ron!

Ill be out there again tomorrow Thanit, just not as early. Ill be there for the last race for sure. Mark and Joe are on at...0840....1015....330. Probably be there for 130ish and odds are Im going to bring the wee lad out there so it will be a shorter day for me.

Mark took 3rd today!
Joe i believed qualified 1st? (correct me on that) He was turning some great times in the AM apparantly ( i wasnt there for that).
Traction became a bit of an issue for Joe in the race ...spun..(no damage) and not enough time to catch up.

Are these races scheduled, or an open event. My wife and I get out to Vegas at least once a year. When is the best time to see these events and at what track is it held at ???????????

Great to see all of you both my self and Mark had a great time. I was hoping to finish front of THE GRAND MASTER OF 928 RACING (Mark A), but..but next time (took a coffe break during the race). Mark's fastest time in the race was 1:25 and my was 1:251.

I want to thank all the people who came out to support us and lend a hand. Luckily this weekend the cars were nearly flawless so there was very little to do. I think Joe and I learned a good lesson on tire compound choices. We have always bought the hardest compound and had good results but the temperature here was too cold to get them up to temperature and they were very difficult to drive on especially for the first few laps. Old Joe Fan pulled out all the stops this weekend and went quite fast. Maybe the student is becoming the master after all.

Tony

So what is the current lap record out there. I found this on the POC site but it looks old? And im not sure which track config you guys ran.

My son when he woke up today said.. " i wanna go watch Porshas race...."

I asked him what colors the cars were...he remembered!

"Marks white..Joes ziz wellow Porsha...and a black one too" he said.
I had to chuckle.

...."Daddy...i put straps on..Ok?"



Was it a quicker, uneventful trip home?

Great JOB Mark and Joe!!!!

If you want to know how fast the 1:25 time is, go look at the speed GT times from a couple of years ago when they where running the BFG tires.
If you want to know how fast mir mortal 5 liter cars should do, look at the fastest Touring cars. Nice to see all that 911 hardware. (literally, $200k cars and goo drivers in them !!) But nicer to see Mark and Joe run with them and get near the front. Joe, you could have done it!!!!!! whats up with the coffee break? Las vegas not fast enough to keep your interest for your 515hp now??

Wish I could have been out there

how is Mike Avitt??? Heard he may have had an off and some body damage. times?
