I'm going to bet the tow rig, as the Race car will likely break down... Ummmm I mean, good luck!

I've seen a few Cayennes on the track. They do really well. I may try it now that I have new upgraded Turbo S control arms.

I predict that the Cayenne will arrive before the 951, have identical avg. speed but worse fuel economy.

Has a cage with removable front hoop for street use. In the picture its set up with only a rear bar.
Numbers and letters are all on passenger floor since the car is still streetable and gets driven as such.......wait......you didn't notice the license plate?!!

Manly used as a track day toy and autocrosser. Did the door to door thing years ago and just don't have the time to mess with it any more. .


As for your attitude. I would call it unsportsmanlike. Its guys like you that nit pick the details of a fun post that make racing a pain these days.

+1, we don't need that kind here, go be a douche canoe elsewhere. A real racer would respect anyone that shows up and has fun. That's what it's all about anyways isn't it?
