I am going to have to miss it this year, but I will be at the following Blackhawk Farms DE on June 13th. Definitely hitting up the Kohler Vintage Race up at RA in July though!

This will be the first one I've missed in years.

But I blew my May Motorsports budget last weekend in Ohio

Have fun. Enjoy Siebken's. And have great weather -- not the snow we had back in the 90s.

MRW Enjoy the new F car. Besure to post your times.

Chris, you're a Zone Rep, behave yourself.

Steve Carbon emissions are changing the weather. Please limit the Cigars to 25 a day.

Keith Limit the brats to one for every two of Steve's cigars.

See you all at the G-man Club Race

Thumbs up I'll be there..

with a group of 6 cars from central Illinois. Look to the black Kauth & Mayeur trailer. I'm driving a Guards Red 996TT, number 910. We'll have a black RS America, a Speed Yellow 996TT, a GR 944T, a Black 944T and a GT3.

I don't care if your in a 356 or a 914-1.8. If you get behind me, let me get through the next corner, onto the passing area, and I'll let you by. I'm not proud. I'm a Turtle after all.

Cheers,

I should be getting car back with a new clutch today or tomorrow, but I still can't make this event. Fiancee is closing on her condo this weekend and we have to move all her furniture to storage...

Make it up for Labor Day for sure. DE, as well as racing - it's a perfect way to spend a weekend.

Ben, can Novices to Road America still attend and DE Labor Day weekend?

Also folks check out http://www.nordstern.org/EventID.asp?EventID=40
This is the Road America DE for the Nordstern region PCA and it is in mid July. For those who cannot make this one that the Chicago Region is putting on.

Murphyslaw, are you going to make it out to the Blackhawk DE on June 13th?
Hope the clutch job goes well...I did 3 clutch jobs on my car last year and only hit the track twice.

Charlie, once upon a time, you had to do at least one Memorial Day Weekend event to be able to do the Club Race weekend.

I don't know if that is still in effect.

If you haven't ever done the Memorial event, you probably can get into the Club Racde weekend event with John Ruther's blessing (He's the Chicago Region Chief Instructor)

Hey David, kick some butt in that rocket ship

I think so. If you do (or have done) another event, they'll probably let you register. Do a Blackhawk, or something else first, and you'll be OK.

Unfortunately, I'll probably be doing my next DE in an M3 and not the Porsche. I have a house to buy and a wedding to pay for next year. Maybe in a couple years if the M3 is lacking, I'll go back to the 911. Actually, even if the M3 isn't lacking, I'm still planning on going back to Porsche.

Ok, I walked the paddock THREE TIMES and not one person yelled at me. I must be scarier looking than I ever realized

Anyway, proof I was there:

Look, a Eurosport parade!
