Default Racing Vid [GRUDGE MATCH redeemer]

I hope this works.

This was done last September. 2 928's and a 2006 Mustang GT at our local track. There is a 5-lap door-to-door in the last half

The video should be HERE at youtube

We did that same thing quite a few years ago now. The Porsche dealer rented a 1/4 mile (or was it 1/8th mile??? I don't remember now) oval down south of here and we went out and drove it. They put a little chicane on the back to slow us down though and coned it all off so we didn't have to really 'pick' a line... It was only a bit more than one car width so you were in or you were hitting cones!

It was alright there. Kind of fun. They might have taken the cones out for the afternoon run, I don't remember... It was very different than was I was used to that is for sure.

Thanks for sharing!

Talking Grudge match!!

Here's a couple of pics from a Mother's day race where Phil Seaborn & I go door-to-door again, and I kick butt!

FWIW, Phil is racing a 1990my, and has about 100hp more and far better tires than I....




REVENGE is sweet!!

It is all about drivers skill on a tight course like that! His extra HP probably helped him almost none, but his tires would be a big help. Clearly you have a better handle on that driving style! Way to go!

Interresting how the mustang butt jump from side to side in corners...
Even 30 years later, 928 still rules.
