Seems you have put together a brilliant weekend for all. Kudos to you Tim for both stepping up to take charge of the DE events and doing a great job at it.

How was the new car????

What a great time! When I was running we must have had a five to seven car train all running around 2:00 - 2:02 lap times. Lar, Chasen, Joe and I spent some quality time at speed looking at each other's bumpers, fantastic fun! There was a little carnage too, including my shift problem, but I think everyone is fine and no harm done including myself. Mikymu, your Z06 is too fast! You left us for dead on the straights! Armando (hope that's the correct spelling) thank you for giving Suzanne the guided tour of your race car and your Cayenne turbo (she wants one)- and now she wants me to add more safety equipment... Big thanks to everyone for their hospitality and making
us wanderers from Oregon feel so welcome this weekend!

Finally a shout out to BR Racing for on site support with my shifter problem! We will see you guys next time!

Buttonwillow is Sat/Sun, May 25-26. DE / TT / Club Race. Registration will open this week so keep an eye out for that.

Also - PCA Central Coast Region will be hosting a DE day on Friday, May 24 for those who want to make it a three-dayer.

Lar, can't wait to see your new trailer! Thanks for the help with the awning, it's genius.

(I am now officially lusting after your car by the way!)

Nice meeting you at TH. sorry about the shift, but hope you get that flywheel fixed soon. Too bad you weren't with us yesterday - we had some great Oregon weather!

The car is great. Totally different than the Turbo, of course. Typical issue between the seat and steering wheel. :-)

First time towing an enclosed. Sadly, my new TPD 24' was not ready in time... this one is a POS rental.

Sorry we missed you, we will see you this summer sometime, my sub 2:00 lap is still waiting for me at THill (just off by .07 seconds!), so I will be back. Standing invite to everyone to join us at ORP for Porsche Train days, we will roll out the red carpet for anyone who makes the trek.

Thanks for the tire support, but didn't need them since I was on the trailer for Sunday (so sad...).
