we left the target parking lot at 8 and got to newcombs by 8:45 and then left at 9:15, what a great crowd..

 

that is correct..

I'll be in a silver 997.2 Carrera and there will be a 992 as well

Hello All,

The Saturday drive started out well, we left the target parking lot at about 8 before a large group went up for a rolling road block or chicane.
As soon as we were about to finish 9 mile my steering got really heavy so I pulled over to discover a belt hanging.

to 992 Geoff and QikQbn many thanks!!! without them i would have been screwed as there was no cell signal.
Shout out to Curtis at Pasadena Private Car Storage for flat-bedding my car out of ACH and dropping it at my indie.

 

 

See you guys next Saturday!!!!

and thanks again

 

Hey GSXR750,
Great to meet you and 992Geoff. Bummer it was cut short, but a blast while it lasted. You know the Crest like the back of your hand and it has been a few years since I have driven those roads. Still, very Impressive driving on your part!
Glad to know it will be a quick fix too. Can't make it for a few weeks, but I will be back to meet up again soon for sure.

 

So great to meet you, very cool 997... again thanks so much for the help.
I wonder if there's a performance belt tensioner... the search begins

drive soon, I'll try and get a few more peeps as well

Quick update the bolt that held the tensioner snapped, bummer.. is this a common thing?

 

That is a bummer, but at least it is still a relatively easy fix. Just glad it was not something more serious. How many miles on the car and what year? If it's a common problem, and because of how we like to drive, it might be worth putting down as a maintenance issue to take care of in the near future for me as well.
