Sorry to hear that Toby. But you are making the right choice. BTW, I've got a ton of great photos of your car on the track at TWS from the March race that I need to get to you. Too big to email. I'll burn them to a CD.

I signed up for the DE for the virgin run of my ... wait for it ... Spec Boxster!
The car should arrive from California the week before with the interior stripped and the safety stuff (cage, fire system, seat and harnesses, etc.) and suspension completed. I'll throw in some new race pads and Motul and see how the 151K mile engine runs. I'm hoping for a very hot day so I can run the A/C one last time.
The plan is to keep running the 911 in NASA GTS-3 but now do some PCA events with the Boxster. I have a race at EC with NASA in October so it will be nice to get some track time in advance of that.

Thanks Greg. If I come out to watch on Memorial Day, I will let you know in advance - save some USPS pennies! Otherwise, I'll send you a PM with my address.

Toby,
Sorry we won't see you @ ECR.
Road America is the event of the year in my book! Once you go the first time, it will be on your calendar from then on.
Tell your kiddo congrats! Where's he headed from here?

He *thinks* he's headed to Trinity in San Antonio. Of course, he's had his eyes/heart set on FIVE different majors in the space of three years (from architect to English Lit professor to lawyer) so there's no telling where he will land. And don't even talk about the money side of it. When I asked about state schools, he simply held his nose. Oh, and no job as of yet (I started working at 15 so I could have my own money). He's in for some real-world lessons shortly.
Anyway, I will try to come out and watch you guys on Monday after I get back. Break a leg!

Sounds like Jr. needs to go spend some time hanging out in Austin around UT. I bet the scenery will open his eyes to a state school

I'll be there.
I've finally got my new JRZ suspension installed and aligned. I'll be out of town this weekend, but I think I can finalize all the other prep next week during the evenings. All I have left to do is the brake flush and trans flush, and to put the pep-pipes back on.
The car feels amazing in my testing since I've had the new setup aligned and balanced. I can't wait to really get it out there and push it hard.
I just counted the roster over at clubregistration.net, and I'm counting 36 drivers in DE1, 25 in DE2, and 6 unassigned drivers, for a total of 67 drivers.
That is still way low. I think there were 200+ drivers at the ECR track opening DE.
BTW, I thought I saw himself's car at Boardwalk on Monday (parked up front). Anyone hear if he going to be at this DE?

I hope that JRZ is sweet! I know you've been waiting a while to get it installed! I'm sure you'll love it!
BTW, that weren't my car at BW. Maybe someone has a funny looking 911 like mine
As for the DE, I'm all signed up. The have me in DE1, so you'll have to run circles around me next event! See you there!-td

Rat poop, running with the damn Cup cars again Too many D/E/SP Box(6!)... And how am I supposed to run Glen off the track if he's in the other group? Run groups are shown in clubregistration.net.
