Huh, I could have swore that Ross had his R6 in the 29's but if you have looked at the "way back when" stats and that's what they say, then I stand corrected.

Could be I am suffering from "The older I get, the faster I was syndrome"....................LOL

And what exactly do you mean by "way back when" Martin?!!!, it really wasn't that long ago.............LOL

Ok you made me look it up

Willow Springs track records

JP 1:30:370 on 2/7/1999 by Ross Clardy
But I too remember him doing 29s, probably when he moved up to R5 with the big wing etc

Here is Don Dicker in the 996:

And to put things in perspective for the air cooled 911 guys:

Default I was talking about POC Formal Track Records

On the POC web site we see Ross's record.
JP 1:30.370 9 ROSS CLARDY 2/7/1999

This records is on the way to be broken soon, Bob Thacker is getting real close, turning in the 1:31s. Ross may have turned a 1:29, but to set a POC formal track record, the driver needs to set the record in a traditional time trial setting...that is, grid up according to your best time that day, wait a bit, get out on the track with 1 warm up, 2 hot laps and 1 cool down lap.

Racing with POC began in 1994 or thereabouts. So POC racing is about 16 years old...in 16 years quite a few people have come and gone. As we all know, other things come up and become more important, kids, the wife, the job, saving some money, blah, blah!

That is not stopping me...I am pissing away my retirement funds racing, can't be doing the racing when I am totally feeble, only partially feeble now (PS: Thank god my wife has a good job, thanks Baby!)
