Could be some wear on the rings a little more oil getting on top of the pistons. That motor does have a LOT of hours on it !

For those of you guys going to Got Guts, memorize the lines in this video. Note how much of the road they're using as they go over the hill at Turn 9.

So who was in the silver 928 ahead of you Mark? Surprised to see it there, thought you were the front runner 928 in that race.

Man, I miss being at the track...

That was Scot, who was able to click off a good enough time in qualifying to grid up 3rd. I missed qualifying, on purpose, and was working my way from the back, as was the S2000, who was up front, but his driving suit zipper broke and they held him in the hot pits until the pace lap was over. I actually caught up to scot and have a couple of laps on video behind him. his car is actually pretty quick!

Hey Mark,
Just watched the video and my hands were shaking afterwards. Boy did that bring back the old racing adrenalin

Nice work by you both in that field! Fantastic to see the 928 being able to hold it's own, of course with some great drivers behind the wheel.

Thanks for the info,
Constantine
