The comment was based on driving together at LRP and WGI, along with another Euro Cup. It's a blue 93 Firehawk 968, Mobil graphics IIRC, his name is Joe, nice guy.
IIRC, he posted not too long ago about advice on a suit, as he is thinking of going PCA Club Racing.

Boston, you mentioned brakes and tires. I would put better pads than stock on immediately and of course super blue to start on fluid. Learn to be smooth on intermediate pads such as Hawk HPS plus. Learn to move up to a more aggressive pad, accept the fact that your going to ruin the coating on the rims you have or get a set of track rims and change pads in between events. If the Cayman wears like a Boxster S, then even consider getting a set of front rotors in the event you crack one while at the track. When you are ready for R-tires, your braking ability will be much better already.
P.S If your still in Green at the RTR Glen event, Larry's son is going to most likely lap you, so your not the fastest in Green, (especially if one of us is instructing him).

Thanks for the info. Bob. Can I reserve you as an instructor for that event?

I was unaware of the extra weight PCA Club Racing rules require; I just remembered that in stock/factory form, the Firehawk and Cup were pretty close hp/weight.

You would be better off with Larry, or better yet Kenny (RTR has alot of good instructors). Actually, TD would suggest Steve T. for the Glen. I think that would be memorable. Jack K will set the student registry. Come down for Shenandoah and I could get you around there pretty well ( unless our CI changes my line from the video I supplied for his classroom next month).

Boston, I'm surprised you haven't yet asked for Rennlist's guidance on how to successfully pull off an outside corner pass on Raikkonen or Alonso next year, when you will most assuredly be driving for Renault. Lots of confidence, not enough humility and patience.
