Fantastic.

There was a trio of silver, blue and black 911's heading down the East Grade as I was heading up. Was that you?

Also ran my 997.2 at Mid Ohio event this past weekend. What an amazing time! Met so many great, like minded folks and learned a ton about high performance driving thanks to an amazing instructor. These cars are truly special. Hitting 130+ mph (instructor told me this, I never once looked at the speedo) on the back straight and braking hard with no drama, no abs engagement and no sequels to make a hard right hand turn is quite the experience. Mental note, bring ice scraper next spring event!

Matt.. nice to meet you this weekend. I was the one talking about your grill inserts.

Your a quick driver... I was trailing you for 5 laps or so. I have some good footage if you want it.

Thanks and right back at ya! You had the duck tale on your 997 right? I recall being around you on the track and most likely have some footage of you as well. I'll try to get some snippets this week and post to a google drive page or something.

Just added a third radiator. Pretty easy job once the bumper is removed, maybe an hour job after bumper is removed.
