How’d the motor take it ? Curious what the logger showed Revs went to.

The rear wheels instantly locked up so no overrevs. I cannot believe I didn't get hit .

In car of pointing the wrong direction with cars coming at you is scary enough - can’t imagine it in reality.

Glad the hardware and the driver came through unscathed.

2019, my beloved C4S on Nürburgring.
If you ever go there, make sure you get at least one lap with an instructor. And Luis Ramírez, Mexican racing driver who lives in Nurburg is a safe bet!

I haven’t been on track in over 2 decades.
SCCA ITC, SCCA GT3, SCCA S2000

Me 22+ years ago.

Somewhere I have a VHS tape of some in car of the GT3 Scirocco.

I came close to getting back on track last year, but COVID cancelled on me.
Hopefully I can get back on track someday.

Recovering from surgery today and found an old video with some 996 GT3 Cup cars and thought I’d share it:

Some pics from my last track day in 2020 at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park. Depending on gov't lockdowns here looks like my first track day this month may be canceled...

Your car looked so clean before the orange, blue, and big wing. I know my opinion means nothing, but man I really like it in the pictured configuration!

Thanks, I love that version of it too - love the version of it now and hopefully the next iterations... Still have stock decklid, still can paint it all black and it's likely I will try paint matched when budget allows.

Just going with the flow.

Willow track day Friday with my son as copilot. First day with 996 cabrio on track. Ran great, I drove my friends 718 cayman as well and thought I need new coil overs. That car was much bettter in the turns.

Feb 2020... The first and last time I had the Porsche on track. It was so much fun. I can't wait to get it back out there with its new suspension and stickier tires.






My brother(993), me(996), LeMons Teammate (e36)


Overtaking the 944 with a GT3 in the background that was also in green group...






So much squat and roll...
