Default Got the track car today

Raj and I picked up the new 944 Turbo track car this morning, and I had a blast driving it the 50 miles home to NJ. We're now on the slippery slope to Driver's Ed events, and more!

How did you pick who got to drive it home?

If you want to email pictures I would be happy to post them.

Damian had the pleasure to drive it home. I just drove ahead of him and admired the car and all the looks it was getting from the cool decals. Looks like a nice clean straight example to start with. I think we did well because this car is already setup for DE's. I will take some snapshots if and when Damian decides to drop it at my place .
It requires a new oil pan gasket and maybe a few others things. I will get back with initial inspection. I might also do rod bearings while I am in there. These cars are famous for spinning #2 rod bearing. Depending on the oil pan design, I might also add a baffle to it.
Boy, the list is growing already!

I just received the aluminum three piece cross member from Lindsey so that I can drop the pan without as much pain. Looks nice and might be a good idea if you plan to drop the pan anyway.

Congrats, do you have a list of your DE toys already on there? I would also recommend the baffle as a friend of mine just put one in there after a spun bearing at the track.
