I think the rookie award is tied to the "X" on the back (which is 4 races completed). I thought novice was something like races 4-6, but I could be wrong.

What can I say, I like the tailpipe

I dunno, 59.4 does not lie. My 2:10.2 was on a set of 25+ heat cycle MPSCs, so I always thought a low 2:09 (maybe even high 2:08s) was possible in that car. I never broke 60 in the turbo at Lime Rock, so I would think you'd have a good shot at being in the 2:09s.

I'm just recalling that I won the Novice award for my races #3 & #4 (2nd event).

Boy that would be great. I don't have a ton of experience at the Glen though and the experience i do have tells me that there are lots of tricks to gaining seconds. Will you be at Cups & Saucers? Interested in doing a little coaching??

I've been predicting the dominance of the Boxster/Cayman for a while now. The platform is just so far superior to the 944S2s or 964s. Glad to see some newer cars finally doing well!

Nah!! NOPE look harder 101.118 f Stock 3.2 Carrera 2001 Qual LRP and There is A F stock 90 911 C2 that same run that set 100.4 if you want. It is too bad that better records are not kept but those in class do know what they are. Pca Seems to not want us to try too hard while we are having fun.

I would predict that the caymen S is classed a bit low as it pulls a GTC 1 cup on the straights. Still Joel drove great and was one of a handful of drivers that saw us and actually pointed me by. Thanks. Very Nice Drive Joel. While others allowed me to practice my outside passes in bigbend and up the uphill.

Bill R got a new record in former G now D of 1:01.1

He was flying. I think he would have had a 1:00.xx in the sprint if he hadn't been knocked out by a mechanical. The track was very fast. I set a personal best and so did a bunch of guys in the red enduro and orange sprint.

The track was pretty fast...however, the traffic in at least the grape was kind of ridiculous...I dont know why they didnt move atleast one of the classes either up or down to alleviate the congestion at times (not that it was awful, but sometimes it was tough to get 2-3 clean laps in a row.)

As I told a few people at the awards ceremony, I think it's because the track is in better condition than it was a few years ago.
