Default Blackie turns 100

Blackie, that trusty 996 Steed just turned over 100k miles. Fittingly, it happened on a racetrack (Buttonwillow to be precise) at a screaming 7k rpm's. He's had his problems, and stumbled a time or two - but always came back, yelling for more!!

We won our class for the weekend, and will be gunning for class championship next month with POC at the Willow Springs Season Finale!!

Happy Birthday....or whatever, Blackie!!

That's awesome! Congrats. Do you have any video of you out at Button? I've yet to go to that track and heard it's very technical.

Can KrazyK please stop by this thread and wake Johneecatt up. Clearly he is dreaming because we all know a 996 has NEVER survived a day at the track. And here comes KrazyK in three...two...one...

100K miles at 7K RPM is like skydiving on your 50th right?
