Tom, have the best of fun at the Targa!!! Good luck.
Choose tires wisely, if rain is a condition, run the even on Hoosier Rain tires (street tires), they have so much grip in the rain that you can still lift your inside front wheel on aggressive turns.
What are the rules for tires? one set for the entire event? multiple sets? slicks allowed? multiple sets of the same tires?

Be careful with the weather - it's unpredictable these days.
Yesterday I encountered violent, grape-sized hail 15 minutes into my trip home from a sunny day at the beach in Tahoe. I'm so glad my girl didn't want to take the GT3...

Dear Tom - you have been an inspiration! I started intensely reading Rennlist about a year ago, and followed your threads with great interest. Since then, I was fortunate to get a new GT3, which I am enjoying now. Your attitude and approach to enjoying these cars have greatly influenced the way I look at them myself now.
Good luck, stay off the kerbs and bring back a trophy! Last year it was that Millen GTR if I remenber correctly, hope this year you will top the sheets!
Best regards, wurlie

And....deeply envious. Having done the Targa once, but only in the TSD category, I can say it is an AMAZING car event. The roads, the people, the cars, and scenery make it one of the best I've been to.
Have fun!
Have fun!

Do be careful on those tires. It is thunderstorm alley around these parts in Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin this time of year. If you have any problems or need an oil change, talk to the guys at Carousel Porsche in Minneapolis, MN.....they have been great to work with on a '11 gt3. Good luck.
I wish i knew this earlier

the rain was so heavy in places that i could barely do 37mph.
When dry i would stab the throttle to 120mph to make up time before the rain patch would hit again.
lightning shows all day and night were fantastic. 16 degrees in the rain and 37 degrees in the sun. total mix of hot to cold.
Because the last track i was on was mainly left turns, the passenger side rear tire is bald as a slick whereas the driver side rear has a little tread left.
this makes rain interesting and the car has a slight vibration over 100mph.

The proper way to do Targa Noof for sure! 'Tis a dream of mine to drive/race that event some day. My question: how do you find a willing & competent co-driver?
Best of luck!
