38D and I will post some video and other stuff from this past weekend's PCA Club Race at Watkins Glen, but I thought I'd share this pic to whet your appetite for some good C2 Turbo racing stories!

Here's the start of the Group 3 Sprint Race. Can you find Tubbo? (hint: look for the car with the little wing!)

Dr,

Very nice! I always enjoy these photos. How did you an 38D finish (1st & 2nd I hope!!!)

By the way I met Tubbo's previous owner last week. Very nice guy (Ricardo) he is the parts manager at Newport Porsche in CA. When I told him the car is in NJ (he frowned ) and raced often (he smiled) and said that is what this car was made to do.

Can't wait for the video. (minus music except for the exhaust notes!! )

C2 Turbo

Is it the Yellow one ( smallest wing ) ? Please check your PM.
Thanks

DrJupeman

I won C class, 38D was 3rd in D.

I co-drove his car for the enduro but we don't know how we placed yet. There was a wreck that resulted in the race being black flagged before many had pitted for their mandatory 5 minute stop. It was confusing, therefore, how the standings were going to be sorted out.

Cool on meeting Ricardo. The car is running well!

Video forthcoming, perhaps until next weekend. It might take me that long to choose an appropriate song...

Congrats
Looking forward to the video

First video. Nothing fancy yet, but here are the three practice starts followed by the fun race from Friday. I beat the GT3 when in counted...

Thanks. Cannot install the update at work I will check the video out tomorrow (Gokart race this evening).

Did you need to do some body work to fit the 295s ? I need wider rubber (225/265s now)

38D

Same swaybars
Same wheels & tires
Bilstein RSR Shocks (non-adjustable)
700# front/900# rear springs
Full monoball setup (basically every joint)
Full roll cage


No body work, just the right offset wheels. For the 295s you need ET65 with a spacer (13mm I think...it's actually an adapter). 285s fit on stock 3.6t wheels.

tasracer

ok where do you get the sway bars... every one i call does not have them for wide body 964s... or they are ignorant with these model years and say for a 76-89 930 the have bars

i.e. TRG, smartracing etc

Thanks Colin

When I put 285 MPSCs on my stock wheels I had to add 1/4" spacers as the tires rubbed the trailer arm.

Dan Jacobs set up Colin and my car. Call him about the sways: Hairy Dog Grrrage
