Question Are there any racers here?

Are there any racers on this forum? I noticed that DrJupeman and I both posted videos from our race at Daytona, and they got very few looks. Kind of strange when you consider how many here do work on their cars, and seem to be interested in performance mods and driving. Even more so when you consider that it was the first time that PCA has been allowed to run at Daytona, and it would seem like 964 crowd should be interested in seeing how their own does.

I'm a wanna be -- Just started time trialing, and looking to start racing next year. Won't be in the 964 -- probably 944spec/SP1 (Although the PCA club races don't get out here to the far west to much).

I know Tom W hangs out here and races with NASA in GTL is a 964 based car.

Me too, I spend more time on the racing/de forum.

Thanks Larry and Dr. Jupe for posting, I have quite a few of them in my video folder along w/ Mr. Keen's vids and a few others including 38D.

Actually, I am slowly eating up the memory in my laptop with all of them!

Watched on the racing forum! Liked it better than Leh's!

Done a few NASA races this year, and will be at CMP in 2 weeks in F class with the Carolinas PCA.

I watch all your guys video's, they are always excellent. But I normally read the racing forum and download from there. It's nice to see 964 racing content here though.

I am considering the PCA GGR TT series next year, I know, not wheel to wheel racing, but I have to start somewhere.

Yes Larry, a few of us race our 964's. But we also hang out on the other forums too ...

Thanks to everyone who responded so far. I figured that most of the racers hung out on the racing forum as well, but it would be nice to see interest from the non-racing 964 crowd. One would think that they would be supportive since we are carrying the flag (so to speak) for our model of car. I know that when I posted videos of my GT3 on the GT2/GT3 forum they were very enthusiastic, and it seemed to get more of them involved in DEs, etc. That's what made me wonder about the lack of response to anyones videos here.

Thanks for video!! It was great to see a fellow RSA owner on the track in a real race. Interesting performance differences with the newer cars. I won't race my RSA but do DE's with it and am still amazed at how well it keeps up with (and some days ahead of) the newer cars. Please don't be discouraged with the lack of hits and keep posting your vid's and your mods/work stories on your car!

I know that I am quite proud of the exploits of the Hermanator for both the winning ways of OUR beloved 964's and you being a local Riesentoter guy
