Problem solved...KEEP IT! Get a dual trailer and tow it and the SRF! Best of both worlds!

I'm not far from that. I've got one more person I know that's been looking that I shot an email off to. Otherwise, I'm keeping the SRF at Hallet so I could run it for the races and my 996 for DE's.

Never have too many race/track cars!

The new look. These are the number from the passenger side. I have already stripped the wrap off it as well and have another set of numbers on order to match. I kinda like the cleaner look.

Sooooo...keeping it??

Slakker

I really don't feel qualified to answer that question. All I can tell you is after the blue car sells, I will still have one too many cars.

But I am definitely taking it to the PCA DE next weekend.

Enjoy!

Everyday is a blessing!

Well said

Well I need to come up with some cash for the Business so the SRF is going up for sale. It will be easier to sell than this one and it doesn't have near as much sentimental value.

In the meantime, I had another run in with a tire barrier as I was blazing around the track. I'm now within a second of the personal best of the quickest guy in in my class at Hallett and I know this car is capable of matching it. But that means riding the edge on every corner. My last session with my driving coach he said I needed to quiet my hands and quite "sawing" so much through the corners. While it is giving me more grip and lowering my times, I've also started spinning more as I was using the sawing to react quicker and prevent the spins.

Here's a few pics of the damage from the tire wall. I'll try and get some video posted up tomorrow.

Damn, that sucks but at least (hopefully) you're okay and its not too bad!

Slakker

Definitely not hurt and damages are going to run $75 to weld the exhaust and $50 for a salvage radiator. There is a little plastic nub that sticks out of the radiator. Every time the radiator takes the slightest hit, the nub breaks off and the radiator springs a leak. This would be the third time it's happened to me. I keep a spare set that I need to start taking to the track with me. Although my track does are getting cut back considerably until business gets back on track.

Well I hope it does for you and also because I like living the 996 racing life vicariously through your threads!

Tough break, but it looks like an easy fix compared to the earlier shunt. I like that exhaust setup. Who makes those small muffler cans? I may have a local shop fab up something similar for noise-restricted events.

Slakker

Magnaflow 14158 ($260 a pair on Amazon). They are 2.5" free flow so there is no restriction but they do a nice job of knocking the noise down from crazy loud to just loud.
