Wow. Can't tell you how cool it was to roll into the paddock in a 928 the day after a couple of them spanked the field, Mark on the pole for Sunday's race, whole buncha large dollar 911 variants with the most ugly exhausts rigged up racing for third. Mark and Joe have a pair of beautiful race cars and drive the **** out of them. Mark lead from the start and ran away. See ya. It was wonderful to watch.

He is ahead of a GT3RSR that is getting faster with every session. 1:33s too.

Mark was very close in his prediction for the weekend. My best was a 1:30.7

Actually they almost took my Saturday win away. When I came off the track there was nobody in impound so I went to my pit. They later told me it was my responsibilty to stop anyway and that the penalty for missing was DQ. they later dropped the penalty.

No camera this weekend but since I always point it forward it wouldn't have shown anything

I don't think they were enjoying the view of Josephs big yellow 928.

I doubt if you put me or other 928ers in their race cars we would be anywhere near the front.

No, I don't want anything from either of them, just sayin...

Man, I love this racing stuff!

No doubt. You have to have very big, brass ones to do the things they do in these cars.

Congrats Mark and Joe!!!!!

It's one thing to carry the 928 banner at the racetrack... It's another entirely to thrash the water like this!!!

Does anyone at Porsche even pay attention to these POC races?

SHARKS RULE!!!!!
