Default Road America DE w/ Nord Stern

Any Rennlister's doing it? It'll be my first time with Nord Stern, but I hear good things about the group.

I'll be there. My second time driving RA, 5th DE with Nord Stern.

It was fun last year. 2nd day was cut short because of heavy rain. What group are you in? I'm in Two. Car #101.

I was just looking at the roster, 148 drovers registered.
Groups 3 and 4 look pretty crowded, but it's a big track.

I'll be there. #96. It is a good group.
Lets hear it for good weather! (And for my car to be fully running before then, They've got it running, but sorting out issues with low mid range power, no water temperature showing up on the gage, etc. This is better than the previous running on 2 cylinders).

It's a great group - sad to say I will not be there.

Have fun!

More than 2 cylinders is a good thing at RA. I'll be in my red C2 racer (it's loud, so you'll get to know it #971). I'll be in the paddock with a black 993tt, and a black 964. Hope to see you guys.

Last year, the track crew had the paddock tents set up for the Brian Redman later in the week.
We were allowed to just claim one and use it as our own for both days.
If you get there early on monday, grab one of those circus tents.
It was great, especially when the rain came.
I've got my black, '74 wide-body, #101, I'll be paddocked with a beige SC, #102

Who's buying the first round at Siebkins?

I'll be there playing pit boy for my son and girlfriend and maybe taking the cup car out for a lap or two to get ready for the BRIC.

In addition to the cup car we'll have my "for sale" 996 race car. Stop by and have a look. Test rides/drives available.

What about leaving my car at home and just driving yours on an extended test drive - like, the whole event?

Sounds good to me but bring your car along and we'll just swap.

Jim - does that include the cup? I'd be thrilled just to be a passenger.

I got the word that my car won't be ready , so I will be at RA offering instruction. I love RA and just can't stay away even with no car to drive. I'd like to offer any and all my instructing services, or just get a ride with you. I'm not sure how the powers that be are planning to schedule me. I'll have to check that first. Say hi if you see me. I'll be wearing an off white and red driving suit with a Porsche emblem on it, black CarbonX shirt, and black hat, also with the emblem.
If I could get away with it I'd Put my #96 on my minivan and get out on the track with it.

Robert - feel free to look me up. I'll be up there later today - red C2, #971. There are about 4-5 chicago PCA guys up there, too, that I can hook you up with also. I'll be in the paddock with a guy (black 993tt) that I'm sure would be open to some instruction. Either way, you'll get seat time.
