The small number 3 on the wrap which Collin thinks can be seen by the space shuttle or the Interseries car S/N plate on the dash which is #021?

Rod's car looks awesome, it's actually my favorite of the bunch! We all had a great time racing at Road Atlanta.

As for the video, that's from a prototype AIM SmartyCam, and I couldn't get the GPS working right for some reason. Thus no data. Firmware updates took care of it, and hopefully there won't be any issues when the official production units show up (and it better be soon!). I also plan to integrate the SmartyCam with the AIM data system in the car, which will be be extremely useful.

Space Station....I think I said Space Station. I don't think the shuttle has big enough windows to see the entire number at once .

Awesome!!! Will love to dice it out racing other Caymans!
PCA H Class is typically Caymanless unless I show up.

Any proposals to the rules to allow our underpowered non DFI Cayman S in the class? (less weight?).

cobrien

I don't think anything has been worked out on where the "Interseries Cayman" would fit in the PCA racing scheme. Right now I think we're all pretty focused on getting the first races with HSR under our belts, though I know some of the guys are at least talking about PCA as well.

ajcjr

wow all of those cars look great

cgomez

I mean the other way around. Allow H stcok or Prepared I Cayman S to run agaimst the Interseries Cars with HSR. Historic livery should be mandatory though, and I obviously comply!

What's up with the rear wing, adjustable? I was thinking of getting a cayman and would love to have that wing.

Sorry, I misunderstood! Here's the current spec (or close to it, anyway); according to it, at the moment it's only open to '09s and '10s.....

Definitely adjustable. Not sure how you can get one; I'd suggest contacting Napleton Porsche to start with.

Jagermeister or Rothmans livery would be cool to see.

Jagermeister is on the way; I think it's either done or close to being done. Last I heard Rothmans wasn't taken, though (which surprised me).
