If I hadn't taken inside line to t11 then Martinson would have.
His 3.0 better acceleration, my 3.2 better on long straights.
If wasnt pca cr, maybe squeeze him into wall??? Lol

Group 4 (Weissach Cup) also included 2 -933s These are 2.0L cars. These cars have 200 HP. They were not listed in the group. I complained about the disparity in HP but was told by Bruce Canepa that Porsche wanted cars from the same era on the track at the same time.
MY car #154 qualified 19th for the race but spun a bearing in practice Sunday morning. We still had a great time.

Many of these cars have "juiced up engines brakes etc." They catch next to nothing in tech except for helmet out of date or they got one GTR for running radials instead of the period correct bias ply tires.
Maybe a competitor complained about car 10. When they came out with a threatening email about how tough they were going to be in tech.......I called a customer and friend on the west coast. His comment was...."Clark I don't think these guys really know what they are looking at".
The #10 car could have been putting oil down???????

Going back to the timing and scoring sheets I see car 10, Red 935 K1 was in first place for the qualifying race on Saturday. Looks like the driver came all the way from Germany.

yeah, but only 25 cars raced. i was offering to be a standby in the group if there was room.. I thought maybe with the world challenge history, plus the fact that this car was a re-tub (kind of) of the car that broke the land speed record ,driven by Al Hobert in 1987 it might be able to slip in if there was space. was this class limited to 1980s or a specific year in the 1980s? Do you know?

Sorry to bring this up again, but the 935 coming up for auction brought me back to this thread -
https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/p...-935-k4/697498
Reading through the description, they listed these modifications -
In 1997, K4-02 was acquired by Michael Lauer who tasked Kevin Jeannette at Florida’s Gunnar Racing, to fully prepare it for racing, including installation of a 962 engine. After several races, Lauer sold the K4 to Marshall Field, Ted Field’s nephew, for vintage racing. Marshall Field gave the car to the late Bob Akin at Hudson Historics with spare-no-expense instructions to completely transform it into a modern and better version of the already awesome car. In a 1998 letter to Maurer, Akin described the K4 as far superior to the K3, and urged him to install a twin-turbo 935 powerplant from Porsche Motorsport North America. The central tub was strengthened by having honeycomb aluminum cut and bonded into the floor. A Salisbury differential was installed, along with Penske triple adjustable shocks. A Motec dash and telemetry system with download interface and data logger was installed. In 2002 K4-02 was offered for sale and acquired by the current owner the following year.

There have been a significant number of 934/935/956/962 cars converted over the last twenty years from their required IMSA spec back at the time they were actually competing in the day to whatever would fit... Both in displacement and in number of turbos.
Equivalency at the time required a specific configuration with specific displacement, number and size of turbos and weight. Not so in historic racing.
I remember Hurley stomping around the paddock at an HSR event at Daytona in 1997, grousing that the car he was driving, supplied by the factory and correctly equipped with a 2.8l single-turbo motor, was being roundly beaten in the straights by some plodder in another Group C prototype, but with a 3.2l, twin-Turbo, never in use or even possible at the time...

No 919 track record for Laguna I guess? Though the announcers were cagey as to whether Porsche was really going for a record run, they sure seemed to be trying hard for not really trying. They changed tires I think 3 times in 30 mins and even changed drivers late in the session, but didn’t appear able to get the car sorted on Sunday.
