Bwahahahaha. Leave it to you, Dave, to bring that stuff up again. "Not that there's anything wrong with that!" Lol.

Anyone can do a 180. What do have for us in the 360 catagory?
this reminds me. I aspire to doing a 360. So far with the 912 I tend to run out of kinetic energy around 270. What do you all recomend, more motor or less tire?

Keep you foot planted in the go pedal. (you may need less tire)

Heck, if my Spec Miata can do a 360, a 912 likely can. You're just not trying hard enough.

Hmmm- my lowly 944 managed an easy 360 last fall, T9 at MO on a wet, 40 degree day - never left the track. Wish I had video running.
I pitted in and told the Chief Steward "Hey - it's slippery out there!" Well, Duh.

I was thinking maybe I could be Chef of something (instead of chief)? Straight line spinning for example...

Overcooking a track? I have never had that dish. Is it any good?

How about team food burner?
