I wasn't kidding,

My '89 is still down. Can I bring another car in spirit of the event?

Wow... I assume that Ray has stiffer springs on his car than stock? That front spoiler looks like it's on the track coming through that corner...

Ken, do you find your car rubbing the road at VIR?

No rubbing with stock suspension or with newer Koni/Eibach. I am running stock ride height on both. But stock did roll more.

My only technical issue this time was that 315's in rear rubbed a little until I use the Special Porsche Tool to do some extra track side fender rolling. This only showed when car was loaded with more than me, i.e the luggage on the way up, or an instructor in right seat...

(Special Porsche Tool = $9.50 Pool Cue from Danville Walmart.)

Not a pit signal. It's the "I passed you TWICE" signal, i.e lapped you.

I was passing a buddy of mine ( John M) in his red Boxster.

Did I actually lap him? No. Did it make him wonder for a few seconds? I hope so, that was the plan.

Video of same pass here:

Thumbs up Registration?

I would love to participate as a newbie. Several friend from the OC have suggested that it is quite trilling and would be fantastic at that location.

All I need to know is where to send whatever fee's and how to prep my car.
I will wait for further instruction.

Thanks Robert

Sure sounds like a fun event. I highly doubt the Euro would be ready for such an event, but if by some miracle it happens, I will try.

Check the link in the first post on this thread. I think PCA members can start signing up in early January. There's a pre-check list that you need to make sure
has been done 4 weeks prior to the event?

Sounds like we might need more than 8-10 spots for 928's!

So far, I count 12, but at least 2 are maybes (AO and Kevbolacy Hoser Diplomat). I'm trying to work it out that we can bypass the ordinary registration system and guarantee our spots in advance. I'm in touch with the race organizer and he's just waiting for me to send him another message. I was holding off until we grew our ranks, which we have!

Please PM me with your contact info because I know he will ask for it, too, before actually signing us up.

Should be great! A track Frenzy!
