I will be there as well, hoping that it will be dry. Yesterday, I was at the main in pouring rain, first time after my crash under rain at VIR in 2004. I was one scared duck but needed this to over come few things; I am not sure I did though

My tires, Michelin PS2s, just would not hold any where on turn 1, 5 and 6; I tried on-line, off-line and what ever else I can think off, but no avail. I was lapping a 2+ mins. on basically open track and PSM on The good news, brakes were just fine, no vibrations. And my new brake cooling hoses held up well at 110 mph on the front straight, so I guess zip-ties are strong enough but I cannot say if they are actually cooling yet, lol.

Hey FlyingToaster,

Met you yesterday at Summit. It was truly Slippery Point at it's finest.

I'll be there - 'instruct only' (I thought I already answered this).

Mike -- your car sounds awesome. The power is serious overkill for Shenandoah and you will need all the handling that you have added. Kurt, I think you might need to take the green car out in blue.

I was there also with my 924 in the black group. I also couldnt find grip anywhere. Played around with the tire pressures all day and just never got comfortable especially going through turn 3 and the carousel. Dont think Ill make it out for Shenandoah though. Ive already done enough days on that track this year.

Did I miss a memo? I like being a small fish in a big pond. I get to land a fat one from time to time.

My tires and my dizzy head have had enough of Shendandoah for the moment a recent weekend spent out there going out with students in nearly every run group. I still like that place it is a very fun track and a true drivers track. I think I'll hold off until the fall to play there again.

Potomac Members,

Meet my good friend Mike Kelly, new to Porche and Potomac (first event with us) but an experienced and competent DE driver for many years. Cars and bikes.

Mike and his dear wife Donna will also join us at Watkins Glen at months end.

I hope that he is my friend is not something that you will hold against him.

Have fun Mike, we have a High School graduation at our house for Anne Marie so I will not be able to join you.

Jim, Thanks for the wonderful introduction... Will miss you this weekend!

This car will be overkill forsure at this track, but it's all I have to run, so I'll have to make due.

Looking forward to it.

Mike
