Default 928 attacks willow springs (and survives)

they're short, but if you turn up the vol - you can hear the unmistakable sound of my old gal's "Nascar V8" howling at willow & terrorizing the lawnmower engine crowd (unlike a recent parking lot event where I was used for traction):

I thought about going last weekend- but the pool and cold beer were too tempting, and I've got a nasty clicking noise from the right rear (poss bearing or CV)... figured I'd give us both a rest till greg or the tranny guy fit me in

doesnt' take long for the tires to warm up at that temp, eh??

Today 10:43 AM
streets of willow... a real treat compared to that AX parking lot in riverside last week (but still good fun destroying cones). haven't been on the big track since all the work was done - but it was hitting 112-115 on the start/finish straight at the streets, so I'd imagine it'll easily beat my best of 120mph on the backstretch at the big track when I finally get there

Yes..."it'll easily beat my best of 120mph on the backstretch at the big track " that is an understatement !

yeah, but it's no guarentee I"ll even come close to your record lap times, mr bailey. cause as we know, it takes a lot more than brute force and cool sounds to actually get around in 1 piece and fast (but it is entertaining)
