Nah, it has to be the KERS!!

Hopefully, I get to see many/some of these guys this weekend at Road America. It will be fun to know the faces of the cast of the Thunderbolt Drama Opera....

Looked like that 944 on the outside was running a KERS systems.

The puddle jumping the, once, leading 911 was doing had to create a slick return to the track and hours of cleanup later.

I love that way that the 993 goes off-roading. The mud puddles are classic!
