Take out the Frunk carpet...there's 5+ pounds there.
(just in case: Frunk = front trunk)

Thanks for all the pointers guys! Interesting about the spare "space saver" tire. I always remove the spare from my early car before any track event, along with anything else that moves including floor mats, both to save weight and to minimize loose objects at speed. Honestly I've never heard anyone suggest leaving the spare tire in place for crash protection.

Heard a certain red RSA will be there too!
To motivate, here's a traffic laden session from Thunderhill a week and a half ago.

Thanks Ken..... and yes, there WILL be a certain red RSA there on Thursday. I'm looking forward to comparisons and of course the differences. Have I mentioned how much I enjoyed driving that ex-red RSA of yours on the local streets?

Enjoy...It has been many years since my first event, but I remember the excitement. One thought on the bra - I tried that once with my previous 993 and found that with the speeds the bra would slide around a bit and ended up causing some rubbing scrapes. Just make sure it is very well secured and keep an eye on it...

Thanks guys, I will keep an eye on the bra. I am actually worried the tire will rub one of the straps wrapped into the wheel well. It already lloks like it's rubbed a little.
I have been on track many times previously, just not in this car, and not on this track, so I've been doing the You Tube curcuit for the Buttonwillow video's to get prepped for the first few laps. I'll also be following some very expereinced drivers who know the track well, so hopefully up to speed quickly.....

OK, the picture *I* want to see is one of the RSA's interior since Tom told me he scrounged up some Speedster seats for it. Get me a good hi res one I can add to my photo album for the car?

Pictures forthcoming Gents. I will post them up next week after the Treffen.
We rent the track on Thursday, then immediately drive up to Monterey that afternoon for Thursday night at The Cantina for "car night" which is a hoot, then off to the Hotel for 3 days/nights driving the local roads, enjoying RGruppe hyjinx in the parking lot, hit the Quail Saturday afternoon for the big motorcycle show, more parking lot bench racing, a nice party Saturday night then drive home Sunday or Monday. It's always a great weekend, and we do it every year.
Those Speedster seats make your ex look so purposeful. I'll make sure to post up a few nice shots for you Ken.
