How's that?

If your tailgating a cup car anywhere y'all need to swap cars.

I have seen Clark in a 944 pulling away from a 996 TT, until the back straight that is.

Seat of the pants feedback was yes. I didn't talk to anyone about it after the results were posted, so the comments were unofficial.

Yesterday was 85, according to weather.com. Looks like next weekend will be a lot cooler at 78 Sat and 74 sunday.

The sunday morning enduro should be pretty pleasant!

What's going on with registration? Entries are down to 226, including a couple on the waitlist for group 4.

Evidently, all this smack talk is scaring people away. Note the sarcasim, you guys are way too quiet this year.

Tim, how's the car coming along?

A lot of new class records from the SCCA national, word is that the track is super grippy. New spec miata record of 1.42.8... set in the race on toyo RA-1s. An I class 944 should be faster, right?!
