Great!! Keep the car. You lose so much money when you sell it. If you still wanna sell something, sell me your rims!!

So glad you aren't selling it, enjoy the hell out of it and you will be able to sell it for same price in a little bit.

At least one person got the joke...lol

Alright Dan - Congrats on keeping the car! Now you need to get it out to Utah for some DE excitement... MMP is a fast track. It's all that I know (other than Barber), so in my world - it is the best!

-Blake

P.J.S.

damn... I was just going to buy it...

oh well...



JUST KIDDING -- very nice car and for some reason I am glad to hear that you are keeping it.

mooty

i think you made right decision in keeping it. you are giving it away otherwise.

give it street duty and track it when you need to feel some speed. otherwise run the MX5.

The RS i have now sees only 1/2 the track time it used to see, as i run 996GT3 as well. i would really hate to sell them...

mooty- how many days a year would you say you spend on the track? I'm trying to set realistic goals for myself this offseason and you're the main man of CA trackdays. pm me if you don't want to disclose publicly

Dan- hey you need at least one track car for MMP anyways! I'd love to run that track...

mooty

30 in 2006
35 in 2007
10 so far in 2008

dang I was expecting three times that much...does your authority unit read RL? lol

The trick to MMP is finding days that you can run the FULL or OUTER configurations.

For 2008, the FULL TRACK days include:
*June 9: Ken Garff Porsche throigh Lappingdays.com
*June 13: MMP Open Track Day (Track Sponsored)
*September 26, 27, 28: PCA 3-Day Event
*October 17: MMP Open Track Day (Competition Cars ONLY)

For 2008, the OUTER LOOP days include:
*November 22: MMP Open Track Day

You guys may want to make the trip at the end of the baseball season and plan on the Oct or Nov dates... The best three day event by far is the PCA event/Club race at the end of September...

I have already told the wife that I am buying a trailer late this summer in order to drive Leguna and Infineon this winter. Boo-yah!

Mooty - you will be contacted!

-Blake

mooty

no she doesn't read RL.

i dont have OFF SEASON like you do haha

DRG13

CJ, where you been? I was scared you got mugged in Detroit Rock City...I've got a plan, this fall, we take my GT3 and your RS from Dallas to Park City (road trip straight through), hook up with MMP boys for a track day, I'll leave my car at home in Park City and we'll take your RS to Laguna Seca when we do Skip school and hook up with Mooty...then you can shoot down to SoCal in the RS for offseason, I'll fly back to Dallas

C.J. Ichiban

dan I was thinking of doing something like that actually- there's a PCA event in Daytona that I want to run around halloween- but here's my twist...I need to be at the October ALMS race @ Laguna...and maybe Petit Lemans 2 weeks before at road atlanta...

October 3-5th @ Road America for skip barber (alternative to the LS one)
October 16-18th @ Laguna Seca for ALMS
October 24th-26th @Laguna Seca for Skip Barber school
October 31-Nov2nd @ Daytona for PBOC DE
November 22 @MMP outer loop (thanks blake for posting the info!)

Nov 24-25 Laguna Seca Raceway – TMR
Nov 29-30 Buttonwillow – Green Flag


total I could end up doing 30 days pretty easily in october and november combined- which would also cost me about 2 sets of brake pads (or so), 2-3 sets of tires, and 3 oil changes, 5 brake fluid flushes, 3 alignments, and roughly $10,000 in track fees including the skip barber classes...it's not too far off what I spent driving around europe in my gt3 last fall and paying 1.40 euros/ liter of gas...

so...what I need to do is save up my change now- borrow, rent or lease a super duper tow vehicle with possible enclosed trailer for 2 months- bunk up, and bring spares with me. YAY!
