Default Are you faster than a 944 turbo?

I wanted to make sure you clicked on the thread...

Trying to drum up interest for an upcoming track event at Watkins Glen. Hosted by Hudson Champlain and Central NY PCA regions

Guaranteed to be a great time!

Novices welcome! (Currently we have more instructors than students signed up.)

Still room in all the other groups!

Let me know if you need more details.

My car is...I'm not so sure about me driving it though
That looks like a lot of fun but too far away for me.

In my case, the answer to your question is no.

that is a great video. I always wondered about the speeds down the main straight and the bus stop.

Well are you faster Mark?
Maybe a gear change would help.

Man! I want to know who's going to sign up and come to the event!

In general, 928s are under represented at the track.

P.s. glad you like the video.

Great video.

I might be as quick as you, you'll have to check out my video below chasing a 944 turbo Racecar at Mid Ohio. (Several minutes in)

Can you tell me what components you are using to produce the data and video combination?
I'd love to have something like that for next year.

My dad got a HERO racing mounted video camera and it holds on well and gets great sound, but I am not at all happy with the video quality. Very grainy and hard to see.
