We're running a Porsche only run group at Sears Pt (Sonoma) March 15-16, and again in October, if anyone wants to join us.

Lar, Mooty, Chasen - Looking for the NorCal group to show up!

Yeah, but what's the db limit that weekend? Even stock I can't pass 92db. The POC weekend is going to have the 105db limit.

yes you can.
i flew off T6 carousel, once toward the hard inside wall, but i prayed to buddah, no prob. then i also flew off the outside of T6, it's just a soft wire fence, IT prayed as i am bigger than it. i won, i flattened the fence.

as bush once said.... " we have moral victory" the wall has surrendered.

but if you aren't as good a prayer as i, just look away from the wall and keep the right foot down.

the only thing i hit, was at the wide open TH. well i didn't really hit it, i flew over the wire fence (4-5' tall) b/n T9 and T10. it takes massive talent to do that.

Yeah, passing sound can be a challenge. You just gotta know the Laguna secrets. We ran there back in November at 90 db and still had a blast. My car typically blows 96-97 db, but I passed, and it only cost me about a second per lap. June will be 92db.

If you pray hard enough like i do and confess your sins before every hot session, their is no pigs flying off track hitting walls or fences. 10 years, 0 walls or fences. Now i'll resume to praying, please excuse.

Well done. Can't go wrong on a car with a nose ring.
