Question What Are Your 6-3 Golas For '11?

What's on your To Do list for 2011?

For me:

+ Tarett Toe Links (in process)
+ PMNA Rear Shock Mounts (in process)
+ more track-oriented alignment (in process)
+ do ~7 events; (seat time!)
+ improve the track skills
+ shave some time off at VIR (better than 2:14, approach 2:10) and CMP (TBD)
+ more data analysis (AIM EVO4 MyChron modules perhaps)

I want to do the Nevada challenge open road race or simular.
Get a digi photo of the speedo over 200 MPH.
Install the liteweight flywheel Slow sent me.
Get some track time (in fighter pilot formation) with my Colorado pal at Road America.
Wear-out another few sets of tires.
Teach more people of the advantages of the iconic 996 GT3.

After three years of telling myself I would track my car and keep it stock, you can now see my WTB post, so I finally succumbed.

1. Get safety stuff in (seats, harnesses, etc)
2. Track tires/wheels
3. 1:1 Driving lessons at HPR
4. Take my GT2 to the track and say "I'm going to keep it stock" and start the process over again.

Learn to drive, and drive the Glen.

Plan B: Win the lotto, retire, get a motorhome, drive full time.

Amen to that... I call it my "long term" plan...

For short term, I'd like to add safety equipment and Racekeeper...

"Im going to keep this one stock." Famous last words. Been there, done that.

Michigan winter project: Euro GT3 seats, Tequipment bar (still looking for one !),
Schroth harnesses, MPSC, corner balancing and alignment
Curious to find out how these mods will change my car. My biggest problem last year in my 1st 6GT3 season was just to try and stay in the stock seats !

The seats alone will greatly improve your ability to run with more control. I currently run the euro GT3 seats with 3 point harnesses and it is MORE than adequate. The stock seats are just not meant for the track. Sure I miss having a full roll bar, 6 pt harnesses, HANS, etc, but I am having just as much fun.

Dell - its funny I actually might have your old seats. I bought them last fall from Jasonfreed. The stock seats sucked so much on the track that I was constantly making an effort to stay in the seats instead of concentrating on the track.
Just the seats alone will be a big improvement for me this season. Also I'm very curious how different the MPSCs will feel to the Pilot Sports.
