A Porsche w/out a turbo is like a basketball with no air in it........sure, you can play with it.....but it's not near as much fun!!

Got to put your foot down some time I guess and let them know things are getting out of hand price wise. I will settle for Hallett in a few weeks.
That black 89TS in the picture looks familiar. Looks like my old street car if it's owned by a guy named Al Hess thats it.

Hastings, nebraska DE in 2 weeks, and then the club race up there a month later. Busy summer
HPT needs to get their fee's figured out. They originally wanted something like $150 a day to rent a garage space, and people just laughed at them. Now they are $200 for the entire weekend (which I think is money well spent), but they still only filled about 8-10 garages, so I am guessing they will have to do something like $50-100 for the weekend to fill them up (which would make them a lot more money). They would be able to push a lot more of their services if they can be reasonable on their pricing.

Yep, thats Al Hess's current car track car.
And while I enjoy turbo boost as much as the next guy, don't underestimate the NA's. I still think that my favorite version of the entire 944 series would be an 83-85.5 NA (keep in mind that I currently own a 968 and a fairly healthy 951). There's a whole lot more to driving than just straight line boost and the early NA's demonstrate a ton of poise and balance that I find lacking in the later cars. You can drive an NA very fast IF you know how to drive. Most turbo owners compensate for a lack of driving talent with a heavy foot down the straights.
