Seems there are enough people in here to do a thread and see what you're all planning for 2012 on the track. If you want to include 1/4 mile stuff that's fine too. Just interested to hear what you're all up to in the downtime at the end of 2011 / early 2012??

 

I'm dreaming about a build like yours Patrick

but will have to settle on

finish 996tt caliper install
rod bearing refresh

Then try for 4-5 DE's in 2012

 

I'm with David at least 4-5 DE'S , and finish the 3.0 build

 

Car is under going / has undergone major surgery for the last 3 months and next 2 months. I am planning on 6 to 8 DEs and 4 to 5 races. This may reverse as the season progresses.

Of course this subject to change depending how much I am in country.

 

I'm still not sure what to do with my car now it's home. Got to get it to comply with one of the CAMS categories first. Right now it's in danger of becoming a permanent garage ornament.

After February will possibly start with some Porsche Club stuff just to get it out of the garage. Woud love to get it down to Bathurst for a run and I would love to run it at Lakeside for old times sake because thats where I started racing in the 80's but I'm about 30 decibels over the noise limit at the moment.

 

Trying to get my competition license right now. Will be doing a 3 day DE at Roebling Road in February. It may involve a "checkride" or not, depends on feedback from the CDI in my region. If not, I'll get a checkride at Road Atlanta at the March Club Race/DE. Right now, I'm planning on racing Mid Ohio, and looking at a few other tracks. Will do the DE at Road Atlanta in August, may only instruct due to Mid Ohio the following week. Will also do the October one. I have a wedding in June which prevents me from being able to do either Watkins Glen or the DE at Road Atlanta then.

 

this should be a good thread. I have a long list.
gts track lights
996 tt brakes
air spliter
lower car
relocate the coil packs
put the passengers side recaro back
wheel bearings

then around some 6 DE's

 

Good responses. I like to hear all this positive stuff about the following season. Gives me even greater impetus to try and get back out there asap.

Steve, I would think you could do PCQLD stuff but as you say, might need a muffler/silencer somewhere along that exhaust!!

 

Just completed my first racers clinic last weekend. One more to go in March to get my "cup license" in POC (Porsche Owners Club).

Busy year coming up. Looking forward to Infineon Raceway but can't wait for Laguna Seca!

 

I'd like to get back to Road America. Would like to get my Dad/Brother/Son on the track with me.

 

Makes me think we should put up a results page for all of our racing. Even link them to video / pics??
I've seen that on other websites. Seems to have a good following.

 

Since you included the 1/4 mile folks too

I'm planning on being ready early this year with the new engine, good clutch,better anti lag etc.. I'm planning on setting some new records. Considering I've been playing with cheap parts for so long I'm anxious to see what my new powerplants can do.

I am also going to run the circle drag events regularly. I also plan on finally getting the car toa track it is meant for

 

Of course I wanted you in the mix too Sid. Can't wait to see what times you come up with next year. Lets see you into the 10's!!

 

Oh, and 67King...I love the look of your car now. Very 'Cup Car' indeed!

 

Assemble the the car and add the new mods and hit the nurburgring in the spring with my mechanic and the rest of those 911 guys.
