Default Where did all the FL RS's go?

Signed up to instruct at Chin event this past weekend, hoping to see some of you guys. Brought my superman out.

There was One others RS there in the green group. There was an MK1 and that's it.

You all went racing? I've been out of the loop here for a couple months.

Yes, they all went racing. And not in their RS's. They bought slow old junker race cars. I kept mine and am racing it. But I will be back this winter to Sebring for some racing and DE's to fill in the weekends.

Your junker is best I have ever seen. 73 RSR is #1 fav Porsche for me!

Even Sly is racing a junker, E-class -- will be fixed before Summit Point PCA Club Race in September.

Hello, I was there in a pumpkin but guess wasn't fast enough to impress.
Sure was hot and muggy. Driving home almost couldn't stand the smell of myself.

RS ranger, you were plenty fast. We had a great run in one of those sessions. What tires were you on? Did you get any vids?

85 gold, were you in that ptd 8th gen civic? That thing is a lot faster than my pte /ITS prelude. I have some serious work to do.

Yep old #61 White and Orange. Still gotta a lotta FWD learning to do, especially on corner entry. Car right now is really a 1/2 prepped TTE car except for the Conti takeoffs which at 225 are to big.

Conti take offs are fast. Shea was turning 2:28's in her WC civic last year on them.

I need to step up my game with my prelude. What times were you turning?

The conti's have about 20HC on them. I ran a couple of low 2:42's and Ian ran a 2:35.5 hero lap at NASA sebring in June. So I also need to step up my game.
