love it.... great deal on those wheels too! I guess this is a way to stop hoarding all these parts.... going aircooled was a blessing for Ed.

LOL @ Tim

glad the shipment made it OK Tom, Happy to help
Fran, give ma a little extra time, the track was a wreck yesterday and took a lot out of me - rained about 1.2 inches in 3 hours, sustained winds of about 20 and gusts near 40 (from 2-5) I came home, wet, tired, cold, and really bad driving conditions.... standing water on the track / freeway and lots of traffic...

not sure how energetic I will be today... but I will do my best

OMG - here is were using the slingshot out of late apexing gets you the big rewards and going in SLOW!!

I had a great time

we had a few spins, a 996 turbo was a little early on the power in a late apex - pinched it off and hit the loud pedal
no one had any real issues though - other than being very very wet

I know what you mean. We hit peak gusts of over 50 and sustained winds of 37, with sun! Then it calmed down a bit and poured down rain. I guess it was a bad day to be doing yard work. No prediction of any of that in the gosh darn forecasts....
