-Its my pleasure ladies and Gents!
-Its always TWO days South Course and One day Full Course for the Sept PCA First Settlers Region
DE. The one in May is always a 3 day Full Course. I like the south paddock in some ways... lots of trees to keep you in the shade when not running. Bad thing about it is they still have the rocks in the middle of that Paddock (unlike North's where there only sand) which eventtually migrates onto the back straights! So you don't want to be trailing someone with sticky tires on that left side of that back straight unless you're ready to replace your windshield.
-Whats a Caterham?
-No I didn't run the 996. I just try to do DE once every other year. Enough for what I need(not want
) to know about the cars capability.

DE once every other year??!!
What emotion control THAT is!! I try do hold my races to 1 every month and that's tough!! Where do you get such control??
I haven't tracked the 99 996...yet! I swore I wouldn't but even that's tough. I find myself looking for track wheel or trying to figure if my 17" Fiskes will fit in the wheel well of the 996. I almost came up there and instructed but had a race at Roebling last weekend. Plus the new wife definitely helps me with track day discipline
As usual, great pics!

j/k.I need a track car to attend track days as much as I want. I just dont have the resources to pay for wear and tear on the 996. With my limited resources, that car is my Porsche for life!
OR unless I take the daughter's college funds

Oh.. thats the one. Yes there's a blue one that was fast on the track.. Not sure though if it is in fact a Caterham.
