Good news.....next Saturdays track day at Thunderhill (March 3rd) is looking like PERFECT weather.....I hope to have a couple "friends" to help me tune the slicks + new swaybar....... I am optimistic if I can hold full throttle the way I want in T14-15 I can run a 2:05!!!!!!!! That would ROCK.....new swaybar + reinforced mount goes on this week......

Sounds like a plan. It'll be great to hang out, it's been a while, when are you thinking of going up? We could meet up and head out at the same time.

I can't do this weekend but I'm all set to head up in April. I can meet up with you on Friday afternoon in Sacrademento and drive up with you. I already put in for the time off.

This past weekend was GREAT..perfect weather, high 60's low 70's....great field to race with!!!
So far Rick Petty and I are IN for the April 7-8 weekend....Rick and I are racing and Ricky Jr is doing Driving school...... Angelo will be there too...I wonder if he is bringing his Koenig wide body 928?....also for spectators Ricks racer has a passenger seat!!!! So he can take you for a ride!! Kibort is possible too....and he also has a passenger seat!!!
I hope Sean's new racer, aka Chuck Briggs-Ken Osage old racer will be there by then....honestly I would love to drive it and see what kind of times I could get.....same suspension as my car, run my slicks and have an extra 75ish whp + a 5 speed & less weight.....I would guess 2:02-3's.....
Assuming Seans new racer is there and ready if Sean can't make it......then there will be a race 928 sitting around without a driver......if Sean lets me run his, then anyone can take the Estate out....assuming you have some track experience and don't need an instructor...

Things are looking pretty good.......Seans new racer and my new racer should be there before the event....so with Petty's racer that will make 4 race 928's present....the bummer is only 2 might be running...I plan on testing my new racer on slicks, adjusting suspension, etc....
Hopefully we can talk Kibort into coming out with us!!! While I DON'T want to race against him...it would be FUN to race against so many 928's......even if Kibort can't bring his racer...he can drive one of mine....

Bump for ROLL CALL
1: Me in "Casper the friendly GHOST"....
2: Petty in his pristine Yellow machine
3: Petty Jr in driving school!!! (lucky kid)
4: Kibort....probably winning the race overall!!! (hint bring the pirelli slicks...they ROCK)
5: Sean....maybe, but unlikely
6: ?????????????
Personally I want to see Mike Simard come out & get some seat time...plus I would love to meet him and pick his brain about setup!
Angelo will be there.....hopefully in his Koenig wide body!!!!!! Not sure if he is doing the DE?
Who else.........
