Took the new (to me) Supercup to Lightning Circuit at the NJMP member day yesterday. If I'd been paying attention I would've gone to the Schattenbaum DE over on Thunderbolt!
My first drive in the car and it was fantastic. Like my old 911SC "D" car on steroids. Amazing ability to throttle steer, what a concept!
Everything worked great, thanks Peter Dawes for the prep. First time in a racecar with doors since 2004. Felt just great!

 

You would have had 2 other 993's to run with too.

So I learned Pete when I strolled over at lunch to chat w the DiRenzos. On the other hand, I'll bet there were ~10 996/7 cup cars over on Lightning although not in my run group.
An interesting study in contrasts: a member day at NJMP carries a $160 'asphalt' fee per day, so $320 for a weekend, roughly same as Schattenbaum. Meanwhile, the DE is on the better track, has one more run group per day, and, for newcomers, the tried and true instructor program.

 

Actually it was $260 for the two days, $135 if you instructed. Of course we didn't provide any catered meals.

LOL touche, and I have no defense for the NJMP membership model! I only joined because it's the cheapest and most convenient available track time for open wheel cars anywhere.

The catering is an irrelevant benefit IMO.

 

Got a picture of it?

 

Yep, this is not recent but substantially the same... Was the Beru sparkplug car, but repainted in this livery for the GTP series which it ran for five years.

 

Ah, Mr. Komar's old ride. The karting circle is tight! Great car. I enjoyed passing it at the LRP Club Race last year. ;-)

Seriously, that is a fine machine you have there. Drive it in best health!

 

Very nice car! Enjoy it!

I absolutely love the 993 Cup.

 

Huh?!? Must be a different car; Keith assured me the car won every race no problem. Plus it's a 3.8L and everyone knows a 964 only has 3.6L so no way can a 964 pass a 993.

 

I think Keith's been busy at kart tracks lately, based on recent results...

Evan: 2nd overall in KF3 class, CKI Florida Winter Cup Series 2010
Maddie: 2nd overall in KF3 class, CKI WSK North American Series 2009

Brandon, wish I knew it was you, I would have come over to say hello. I was out there with you (driving white 964) on Sat. The car looks great and sounds fantastic.

LOL!

This is far from true...hoping there is some "tongue in cheek" I am missing.

 

Good luck with the new ride Brandon.

Hope to see on the track at NJMSP this year.

 

yes

Ah too bad. I checked out the car a couple times but you weren't around. Next time!

Isn't that great!?! I remember their first day at the track...

Thx Joe, we are trying to do a full season of nationals with the FF but if I can squeeze in a race or two myself I will certainly try.
