IIRC, it was that tire wall that has been keeping PCA from running CW. I'm guessing it has been moved or removed.

PCA has run CW many times in the past, I recall a lot of the regulars were not fond of it for whatever reason. I like it, it's like a different track, and that's how you have to approach it. It will help to break the bad habit of fixation on turn in 'markers" (like spots on the pavement, bird droppings etc.), and learn the technique properly IMO.
Mike, keep an eye on your oil pressure on T2, the long right sweeper heading onto the straight. My old 996 would bounce all over, the wet sump motors do not like it much.

I'm way to slow for that to be an issue, but thanks for the warning!

Richard,

Bob from Motul and Steven from Cleartech plan on coming. Bob is willing to do a quick tech talk on brake fluid, and Steven is going to try to bring one of the Moore toys out to showcase the clearbras.

Glad to have them
have them contact me
I have $150 for beer sponsor (paragon Products)
Maybe they want to join in - In fact Jason at paragon wants to do a brake pad special - a brake fluid discussion is perfectly correlated

I gotta put a plug in for Steve with Cleartech. If you guys want to meet the absolute best clear bra installer in Houston, this is the guy. Great guy too. Glad he's getting plugged into LSRPCA.

No affiliation, yadda, yadda,... just a happy customer.

My new seats have been shipped, & will be in the car in time.

Just as long as Steve knows that I get to drive some "demonstration laps" in the Moore vehicle. DISCLAIMER: I was the Mrs's advanced instructor when she first started tracking her GT3 in Yellow.... VERY talented driver.

Yep
this is a record number as each DE has been increasing all year long. We have 6 for next year with no intention of contracting more. It is very encouraging to see how well we are doing by the number of registrants. See y'all at the track.
