Joe Lash will be driving our car in D and I will be running it out of class in, get this, GT2S. I will certainly make the HWFM team proud. Hope to be there Thursday night.

John, try to talk Susan into letting you come and play in E...I was looking forward to a rematch w/some fresh tires and the real speed secret, a newly painted front bumper!

Believe me I tried. She put me up into the Red run group since Joe is driving in class. I lobbied her for a class where there were less than three other so I could podium, but she stuck me in GT2S where there are 4 cars. I will be doing great (awesome) if I can keep from getting lapped. That's my goal.
I wll be doing the enduro in class though. Are you?

Jeff,
It looks like there is another 74 Euro Carrera in E. Just think, if you bring yours we'll have 3! I have no idea what to expect, haven't driven RA for a long time but really looking forward to it. Should be a really great place for the 944T though so I'm just hoping for a respectable finish with all you guys.
Looks like Joe, Mike and Eric will be in our run group so it should be a lot of fun. Eric, what's your target time for your red monster? 2:39?

Tristan,
Are they letting you run in E! I didn't know there was another Euro 911 that is club racing. We'll have to look him up and see what he has. I don't have a lot of track time out there either. My car's have bugged out over the last few races/de's. Fortunately, Mike has let me co-drive so I have kept my familiarity with the track but I do not have a complete lap with the 944! Feel like a total rookie all over again.

Of course to get to a 34 I have to: not lift at the Kink ,take turn one at 85+mph and get a great tail wind!

Go to Kurt Konrath's site and download the video of the Gingerman sprint race. If you go to the 3 minute, you see me from Kurt's view just behind me and at the 3:55 mark, my huge slide in T2 followed nicely by agricultural excursion in T3. I knew I was loose (what was I thinking adding more rear bar for the race?)but the video makes it look worse than it felt. Anyway, here's the link if you haven't seen it, it's a neat perspective. http://www.softrightinc.com/video/20...man_sprint.wmv
