Your chances are 100%. I won't be going ***** out because I don't have a rollbar and harness in there and it's been a while since I tracked my 997 GT3RS.

Mine got welded along with replacing power steering lines that were leaking when I did my service on my 4L this summer.

I'm out. This is just another PCA/POC event. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there are enough Mezger people to make it worth while to organize a special Mezger only event.

True that in that there might not be enough for an mezger only event, but I would place bets to say this might be a way to get the most number of mezgers together.

I am up for it if before the 12th

I will be in CA with my 991.2 GT3T and wanted to get some track days in. I will need a little instruction on the track as I have never been there, at the lease a partial session of lead follow.

I am a Porsche Instructor based out of Colorado and have driven 7 tracks with the majority of my time on High Plaines Raceway and Pueblo Motorsports.

if you guys will put up with my learning the track the first session or two I am in!!!

I don't want the headache of towing cars to the track or racing. Would rather spend my free time on a bike.

Once in a while, taking the GT car out for a track day is still an awesome experience.

Can’t disagree with that!

Out of curiosity, how did your 991 fare at Sonoma. I think I recall you having one up there in the past.

I tracked both my 991.1RS and 991.2 GTS at Sonoma.

As expected, the RS was a weapon. Very fast and confidence inspiring. IIRC, PB of 1:48. GTS was exactly as expected, a great street car. Not enough brakes (stock); tires got greasy quickly (MPS4's) and felt a little more numb. Was fast though given the extra torque. Loved how it rotated the rear on throttle out of corners. I think I did 1:53's? It was close in times to my 981 GT4.

Both ran hard all day. Drove to track. Drove home. Zero drama. GTS needed brakes and tires shortly thereafter lol.
