It was hard walking out of the airport in Palm Beach and straight into a wall of heat and humidity!
Thunder storms every day. I miss California already.

No, back to the real work of working 80 hours a week.
There is a new RS underway, I need to get ready for either that one or pry one of those old 997RS's away from someone..Than there is that Cayman thing with the 3.8L, 6 speed manual, 5 lug, RS seats coming as well..

I'll hav to reset best lap times at all tracks of course

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome, lots of help showing the tracks, find my way around, find the track days warning me about the bad ones and looking up the good ones and the shared fun, drinks and food.

2 months, about 25 track days, 8 tracks..Been there, ready to do it again.

Need to specially thank Mooty, the maestro who took care of me with SP Motorsports. It could not have happened without them. The only thing I did myself is putting on my helmet and getting in and out of the car... Just awesome..
Also met some old friends who actually left the West coast to do track events on the east coast. Great seeing you all again :-)

Others were great to meet for the first time and fun to put the person with the avatars..
You invited me to your home for awesome cooked meals, went for dinners with extra drinks, hung out and had drinks after the track days to lie about lap times and talk cars and mods, had many great lunches, gave me track rides without scaring me (Not easy), lead me out on track to get me up to speed, drove all across the state with me and help with logistics, invited me to private club day tracks and made sure I had an all around awesome time!

A big thank you to everyone!

Make it back east for the winter and consider me your personal concierge

Now the RSA goes to the bodyshop for a freshening up and make it exactly like it was before the crash and pretty it up now that I can give them proper time to fix it.
I must say this little car takes a beating very well and keeps on going! Really enjoying it and I think I'll keep it for a while. Only had 1 down day due to a oil line shafing through when the OEM exhaust got mounted for the silent track events..

Chin is at COTA the end of January and TWS is just up the road. TRAKCAR needs to up his tracks driven count if he wants to keep up with The Farmer.
