Signed up for the Ridge on March 18th. Looking forward to checking out this new track, hopefully without rain.

I can appriciate what your saying matt and I will need to begin all over again when I get healthy but I was blindsided an one of my ribs punctured my lung thats why im not out with you guys on the track. I will be back in action when things come back down to normal. I fear I will have to start over

here is a few laps of with BJ Zacharias in my cup with cycled tires. He actually get a 1:41.7 out of her. The last time we were out he ran a 1:40 flat with new tires which i think is the fastest tin roof lap out there (UN-official) I squeezed a 44.4 on stickers, big talent difference

Sounds like for you the way to get better is a vacation to Cabo and more rest and relaxation. I'm sorry. I didn't know about the crash. I thought you were talking about being a noob.

Mat no problem at all. How could you have known, besides you were not rude and you are very highly respected and respectful. thanks so much for your advice it is most appreciated. I'm most happy to be apart of this forum and be able to talk with you on these pages, I think very highly of your business and your skills/workmanship. Just having a chance to learn from most of the people on this forum makes me extremely lucky and fortunate. Porsche is my passion.


thanks so much for posting this video. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks
I hope you guys have fun at the track session, sounds like its going to be an amazing experience.

Sorry boys, I'm baliing...

Too much water in Seattle this week when it's 70 degrees and sunny here. Gonna work in my garden and maybe go to a half day of open lapping at our local track.

But I've already rebooked my flight. I'll be at the Bullet Racing sponsored school at the end of April...

Good idea Matt, it is horrible up in the NW right now. I have done my share of early season days in the cold/wet. Tough to get heat in the tires when the days are like this...technically it is still winter too.

Here's where I plan to be Saturday:

It's supposed to be 70 degrees and sunny. Going to get a little practice in for Lemons. Since I'm not going to be out of town to 4 days, the wife gave me a kitchen pass for the day. She's good like that...
