Great pics!!
LOL, same exact thing happened to me at Mid-OH last year, then almost again at RA last month. We need to add to pre-flight checklist: "Tighten tail light screws." Maybe use loctite?

funny re the comments about the bolt on fenders. they are an integral part of the iconic 993GT2 look. i think they look great. spartan lets hear about those lap times and top speed down the front straight.

This was my first time at RA and was only doing 2:28-29's when traffic allowed. I didn't use an inch of those rumble strips though which caused me to cut my track out by as much as a car length in some spots (1 & 5 & canada come to mind). I think it would be down in the mid 20's otherwise.
Speed down front straight was 170-175 going into 1.

170 to 175 is cookin! Mid 20's for sure, probably even lower. I think my top speed down the front was around 155 and my fastest time of the race weekend was 2.293 in qualifying for J class. I bet you can get down in the low 2.20's. I know its hard in a non race environment though. DE's can be challenging with traffic and non point bye's etc. I didnt see you at the club race de. I knew you were trying to come up but I heard it sold out and closed down registration. Interesting considering I heard we were down around 40 cars in the club races. I suppose track days are basically over now for the rest of the year. At least up here anyway.

A group of us are doing one of those open lapping days at gingerman on oct 25th if you can make it. Its only $150 for unlimited track time, should be a fun day to end the season

I agree, that low 20s probably could happen. Next year....
