It was awesome seeing and meeting Kenn today.

VIR is an awesome track. The climbing esses are AWESOME! So much fun!

I'll have a more detail (better) recording later., but this was from yesterday. I know, its shaky. Managed a 2:19.1 (The view is a 2:22 I think) Couldn't better that today... too much traffic.

As AO has stated "Ran down to Mid-Ohio on Saturday and ran it before the end of the year. They had some fast cars there. Made me look like I was standing still."

agreed...get some more juice into that 928 T

Yes, Andrew, one of my favorite tracks. Car looks good. Best time in the GT was a 2:24.46, some years ago. I believe the track is faster after the new paving.

Andrew,

So glad you got to VIR. I agree - a great track, and I drove it for nearly 10 years. Bubba928 above was my instructor at my first trip there. Evolved into a great long term friendship. I also met Ken there on one of my last visits. I think it was his first.

VIR was my second favorite track for the 928. Yes - the climbing esses are a LOT of fun, as is roller coaster and hog pen!! My car didn't really like the left hook after Nascar straight, but other than that it (and I) really liked the track.

My favorite was Watkins Glen, third was Mid-Ohio. There are SO MANY good tracks for a 928 - the longer the better.

Keep the flame going for 928's on racetracks.

Gary
