Who is that with in June?

There's a local Porsche mechanic in Vancouver, Scan Automotive, who is arranging the track day. Two days of open lapping; June 18 & 19 geared towards novices/beginners. We had a similar event last year & we had an incredible time.

Enjoy the GT3 & get the sharkwerks muffler bypass; the sound is AWESOME!
LOL yes... even after four years I still remember the first time out on the track with her (and some of my mates back in 07):

We had a 4.1 mile track to ourselves for the day. Bliss!

Now if we weren't always working on cars we might get out more often
