Having now driven a 911, I have to ask why would you ever want to race one????

If I have any skill or speed at all on track, 90+% of it came from this venue. The course I laid this past weekend had several corners demonstrably longer and faster than several at NHMS. You can call what we do an AX, but a 1.25 miles covered by the fastest cars in sub 1 minute laps at the last NCR event, I'd call it time trialing on our own personal playground. And that is fully by design. I've seen far too many blue/white drivers screw up an hit stuff, whom when asked, never attended our events. I've yet to see one of our hard core folks ever hit anything. I attribute that directly to the skills they've acquire at Devens.

Noel,
I just might do it! But I basically AX for a living with my job, so spending my day off AX is not high on my list. It is also expensive now and I can do a DE day for free since I am an instructor. But it is tempting!

Hey Ron,
I agree that the last few courses have been very "track" like. I agree that I should try SCCA AX, but I am getting into SCCA racing instead and that is my main focus. But I will try to drag Romanowski out of his hole and try and make it down to your next event. The 911 doesn't get driven on the track and it would probably like to be played with again.

I have been autocrossing for the past 11 years, mainly in small parking lots in Ohio and to Ron's point, to call Devins (An old series of Amy Base Runways) an autocross is not exactly true. Time trial is definitely more appropriate. Very fast sweeping courses that regually exceed 1.24 miles in length. I hope was can continue to use it for years to come.

As an aside, I wonder if Mike P. will show at Zone this year or is he too far above us now that hes moving into the Pros. Its in your back yard this year Mr. P, you coming?

I was actually there as well. I was driving the BONE stock 914 with 165 tires on it with my wife. I was taking it easy on the old girl (the car, not the wife) and was entertaining myself with the massive body roll!!!!!! I spent more time in other people's cars instructing them then I did in my own car.

Second you could refrain from making unfounded insults.....I think a few guys like schumacher, raikkonen, hamilton, showed karts relate an awful lot to cars....
also here are some more pictures (mostly poor quality but they are best I have for now, the person taking the photos certainly wasn't the worlds best photographer and they were using a terrible camera so I had to crop them so you can even see the car)-

Geez, now you're picking on volunteer camera men!! That car needs some bigger torsion bars, biggers sway bars, a strut brace, poly bushings, and an alignment. Go drive it after that work is done to it and report back to us.

The first was a joke....so laugh!
The second???? Use another's pictures and then put down his efforts? We would be fairly certain you didn't take them if you were droving the car!

Hey MTosi, your name isn't "My_Silver08" on the "Drive Accord" forum, is it?
