FINALLY...a car with a sufficient amount of power. I bet I could spin tires all the way into the braking zone on the back straight of VIR!!! Perfect.

Wow, you guys are gentlemen to refrain from jumping up on stage there, ha.

Anyway, that car's amazing, funny how me makes the little Opels disappear like a magic trick.

Yeah, and Mark Donahue driving the old Can Am Porsches probably had a similar power:weight ratio?

Hello David.

All's good down here, economy pretty solid.

Been pretty warm lately but we're used to it.

Been racing/lapping the Doc's old SP2 car ever since he built a brand new 911SC Euro.

We have a 6 race local series down here beginning in October, perfect weather while others begin to get snowed in, runs all the way through May.

Should have a fair sized group of NA 944s this year, somewhere around 10-12 including Eon and myself.

First season lapping day is next weekend.

We'll have a gang headed up to the Hallet PCA race later this year and probably Daytona too.

There are car rentals available for our local lapping and race weekends (called Gulf South Race Series) if you are interested.

Hope everything is good with you....., hope to see you soon at some track, somewhere....

T
