Hey, 4/9 is my birthday...

OK, I'll try to plan for it. Where is thunderhill, and what do I need to know? I've never raced on a track before, so I'm a fresh newbie. Also, where can I get a proper helmet? I've heard motorcycle helmets won't cut it...

Nicole, where is the initial meeting point, and what time should I be there?

that's 3 968's, and all of 'em white!

maybe we should refer to them in this forum as 464's

Joe, my 968 is red... I'd love to be the 4th in a fleet of great whites but standing out has its advantages too. It looks like I won't make it to the "taco run"... But if I'm not at the shark meet on 3/5 then it'll only be because of a world-ending catastrophe. I'll bring my 968 and it looks like my dad will bring his shark.

Not to take away from this particular Drive, but hopefully some of you shark owners will show up for the so-called "Taco Run" on February 25th as well.. See:

Dennis,

Confirm me for the 20th.. I did not know it was a holiday.. If all is well with my TB/WP replacement, then I'll be in the Shark.. If not, see you in the Luxobarge..

If you're planning a "superbowel" event in Monterey, it might be advisable for the rest of us to avoid the central coast region for a while . . .

I wonder what kind of crazy commercials you'd see during a superbowel event...

Gersar,

nice to meet you and the missus' Hope you guys had fun in my neck of the woods.. I saw you driving down Hwy 1 about 2:45pm.. See you on the 5th.

Dennis,

Thanks for the lap rides, it was great fun.. Sorry about the sound thing... Hopefully you did not get flagged again.. A couple of other guys came over while you were out in another session asking about sound, as they got nailed as well.. See you again soon..! Great fun man...! BTW, I was thinking if you used a 10 degree tilt on the rear spoiler, you might get some more stick on those sweepers.. Kibort has a setup with 10 deg, and it seems to help.. Felt nice to slide around a bit, but I know it hurts lap times.....

Cheers..!

Hi Richard -

No problems with sound the rest of the day. 5th gear w/ light throttle did the trick.

Glad you had a goood time. We'll have to get you out there next time.
