Well...those twisties almost took me out, but I survived. 
Charley: You just show up! If they try and tell you where to go, you "Tell them that you are parking in the Porsche Corral" otherwise lord know's where you will end up.
We will be there when the gates open on Friday and Saturday. 
Overnighter: Sounds good, just need to coordinate date.

Charley

The air pump on the Euro froze up on the way home tonight. What is the downside of running without it, and how long would it take for a problem to manifest? I have stock cats (well, stock for the body) and a magna flow muffler.
Matt, I can handle the monster wrench as long as you keep it until the end of the ride.

Still waiting to get the S4 back from the body shop .... Now they're saying Tuesday, which only gives me Wed to get the car ready for the Pony Express. I may have to delay my deparure to Battle Mtn if there are any more delays.

Actually my advice was tongue-in-cheek. But I would have liked him to keep in under 4K RPM for while as well as keep the load down. There are many divergent approaches to break-in. Mark Anderson dynos the first day. As I recall, Porsche dyno'd our motors right off the line. Anyway, I think the motor will be fine.

cutting it close. Hate for Tammy to miss another ORR event.
I'm still working on my car also. Even with help from Bill, Dave A, Tim M, Z, and
Tom C, I'm still not there yet. I sure hope I can get it done it time also.

I almost lost it around a turn and ended up like 'that' guy in the third photo... I also almost hit that sheriff going around the bend. Those guys need to learn to stay out of the middle of the road.

No you do not need to reserve a spot for the Porsche corral. Just show up and park. It is better to get there in the am as parking will be less crowded. This is the first year we will be at turn 7. Normaly we are at turn 2 so I am not sure as to the size of the area at turn 7.

I hope to see everyone there that I drove with!

As Gerry said just show up W/ a Porsche and park. PCA/Redwood region is at alot of the events at Infineon Raceway. When you get to the main gate keep on the main road on the left, go up the hill and follow it ALL the way to the end of the track to turn 7.
I will be there on sunday for the main race and will try to make it out on Saturday.
Also call Infineon to get tickets you definitely want to get a garage pass to have access to the cars/drivers. This is seperate from the main ticket.
Also if I meet up W/ you I will be happy to introduce you to people from the Redwood region/PCA. There is a Auto-X next month at the Sonoma airport and I think there is a breakfast run out to the coast in September which would be fun to bring your girlfriend.

Sounds like it was a good twisty ride, sorry I ended up missing it 
but when I walked out of the house Saturday morning to go my baby was at a weird tilt. I found a gash in the rear sidewall 
???
I ended up spending a good portion of the morning finding and getting a new tire and well, you can guess how my day went from there.
