The goal was to look a little wild but with very clean lines and colors. Remember with a race car it’s how it looks from 100 yards away at 140 mph. And in your mirror. 
It's just that it's the first time I'm seeing a 911 in flames, and right away I'm thinking HUH? Kinda associate it with Camaros, Mustangs and trucks...you know what I mean? Sorry, no offence intended.

Are you only participating in Club Racing? Any other events?

Ray,
We've always done the racecar drive into town and dinner on Saturday night. What could be better than having a couple beers, driving your racecar on country roads at a high rate of speed, having a great dinner and a few more beers and blasting back to the track in the dark. All with the blessing of the local police.
Actually it's one of the best club racing activities of the year. We'll have to meet up for a beer.

I'm having fun.

This might take a bit more than a day, was all week at the Long Beach Grand Prix (I'm directing a documentary for Bridgestone, yeah... what a job!) and came back to my office after 3 weeks off with so much to do, my head sounds like a supercharger in a Fiat 500...(high pitch mosquito-like sound)
