I'll see if I can dig up the name of one of the photographers who frequents these events and see if he was there on 928.
Not a bet I'd take, that was my expecation/suposition but I haven't successfully tracked down the POCs. Appreciate any assistance you can lend. I'm hoping they may have rolled some video when we went past, though the long straights were the area when we were held in check to a reasonable extent. I'll have to view the vid a little later but I expect great things- thanks for your work putting it together!

Just wanted to thank Kevin and Greg for putting on a terrific event. It was my first Frenzy but will not be my last. Great to see old friends and make new ones. Ed (Linderpat) and John (Beerfish), thanks for letting me take your cars for a spin. I enjoyed them both immensely! Biggest kudos go to Ed for suggesting that we drive I-68 on the way home. That was, as Gary Knox posted, some of he best driving I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy.
Until next year my 928 brethren.

Wow, looks like the back of the pack got robbed! looks a little sedate...
Managed to get some heat in the tires nearer the front...though it may be tough to see as this was about 150 miles after the fact...guy at the local tire shop got all giddy at the indications of near-havoc though.

Also a shot of our mystery hero- Mr. Shafer and an 84 Auto in the regular event.

Edit-> B/Fish nice soundtrack! Fingers crossed for some footage from later laps~~~chicanes

I had multiple people ask for the "spillage" video to be put back. Enjoy.

Default Third set of parade laps at Summit


Here is the third set of parade laps we did at Summit Point last Sunday. That's Kevin in JP's track car behind me.

Nice video Bob,

You take a nice line throughout. I was trying to see if your GT's rear spoiler
flexes at all with down force. Hard to tell but maybe just a little.

Following Bob on Saturday through a left hand turn (at an intersection with traffic) I was surprised just how he 'gets on' this museum specimen GT.

Bob lit up the rear tires with great finesse getting the rear sideways.

Great getting to know you a bit Bob, I look forward to that lobster dinner one day

Matt,

Nice meeting you and your son at Frenzy. Hoping we can find a way to get southeast PA folks together more than once a year.

Great job you've done on the RS model. Zuffenhausen engineers would be envious!

The pleasure was mine Gary,

We should get some Pa people together now and again. It's tough though
with everyone's busy schedules..

Something that happened to Matt Jr and I on the way down:

An unmarked Maryland Police car pulled us over. I was driving the speed limit and clueless why.

I sat there with my hands at 10 & 2 so he could see them.
He walked up to the car and said "your license, registration and 500 bucks"

I was ticked off and asked him why?

He knelt down and said "hey Matt i like your 928"

It was an old friend from college I hadn't seen in about 20 years.

His name is John Monarek, great guy and into Porsches.
He recognized the RS from a distance from Pelican (on the 911
switchboard i guess).

Anyway,

John and I are going to meet at the cars and coffee he does in West Chester Pa one of these days. You probably know the C&C..

I'll give you a heads up in case you can swing by. You'd like John, he's a really good guy.

Another great guy to meet was Stan, never met him before. He's always there to help, looks out for everyone. I hope to see more of Stan..

And meeting Jim Doerr for the first time i felt like i'd know him for years.(some others too) I told my son this on the drive home, his explanation for that is that we all talk about the same thing so it seems that way

Frenzy was a fun time for sure. Looking forward to another.

I totally have to agree with you, I felt the same way after only a few minutes of conversing with Jim as well.

Great guy!

Brothers from another mother!

It was an all around Great atmosphere, I've attended my fair share of GTG's and I always have a good time, but Frenzy was a notch above the rest.

It's now on my must attend list.
