Lightbulb 1st DE in 997s

I just completed my first DE in the 997 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
I'll post in the story in racin DE/section.

But I wanted to say that I didn't see a single 997 Mk2 at this event. I Dunno if it's just the economy has hurt the NE group or something else.

Could it be that the new cars are being purchased by less track minded people? Hence the reason for the New Panamera "grocery getter" Where will this end?

Yea Mike it sure was NCR PCA, tons of older cars, over 75 of them and a few 997.1 turbos there was even a CGT registered for the novice day, which he left home as it turns out. But no 997.2's as far as I could tell. I worked tech in the morning so I got to see most of them.

At least 3 997.1 gt3's and a great looking orange RS. The sound is awesome.

It seems a little early to make the call.

We had a 997.2 in ours earlier this year.
He bought it on the first day and was just broken in.
Just wait a little.

Just returned fromDE in my 09 c2s pdk lsd and pdk. Much better than my m3 or 06 c2s. More power, more corner speed, and the pdk shaved several seconds/lap. Love it!

Had a few 997.2s at the Rennsport DE at LCMT this past M-T-W.

About 75 cars ... lots of GT3s ... lots of Caymans ... 997 GT3 RS in Green, White, Black & Silver.
