I really wanted to make Road Atlanta my first race, for a couple of reasons. But I've got a lot of work ahead of me. I'll have the frame straightened, but I'll do the rest of it, so it will be very time consuming (took me 3 months to paint it the first time!). If I change the color scheme, it won't be much different. There's a shot I may do my rookie race at some other venue, Roebling Road is the only other track I've driven, but it is usually at the same time as PRI.

When it let go, all I could think about was getting offline ASAP since it was right past the flag stand. When I looked in my mirror all I saw was smoke until a 911 went flying by. Did not see two of them. Next thought was about a fire. Luckily, it was just smoke.
Alan, not sure what we are going to do with it. If I put a motor in it, it will be fresh. I may just sell it as is. Since it was really going to be the wife's DE car, I'll let her decide.

Just tweaks. Like a satin white, rather than gloss, so any imperfections won't be glaring. Maybe a more Carrera white than Alpine, which has a cream-like appearance to it. But I do like hte white and gold look.

Yes, I know. But I make most Type-A's look laid back. Besides, if I plan on painting the whole thing, I can ditch the speed brakes known as sideview mirrors, maybe add some more fiberglass, etc.

Great Track - First time at the track and first PCA race weekend for me (Rookie) - Great place and people - I took first in Class in all three of my races (F Class two sprints and the Enduro in my Matte Black Boxster #69) and second overall in the Enduro on Sunday - Loved it -
Also got to take my White RSR out for a bit on Thursday and Sunday.
Thanks to Musante and the crew for all of the hard work!!
I will be back

What a weekend, My first time there and I only wish we had a track like RA around the Chicago area.
On my first practice lap I drove strait into the pit lane Do! It was one of the most well run and organized events I have attended. To bad for the OOO car he took a real hard hit. this track will definatly be on my list for next year.

Ah, DG Mark, you do have a track like Road Atlanta in the Chicago area...it's called Road America.....check it out.........IMHO the best race track in the USA, although Road Atlanta is certainly close....as is WG, M-O, Laguna, etc. etc.etc.
So little time and money and so many tracks to race on!

You can't really compare Road Atlanta to Road America. Road America is certainly pretty, and a nice surface... but layout... no comparison.
Mark you need to hit up VIR next!

I have a lot of laps at Road America, and yes it is a fantastic track but it is a mutch different animal.
Very fast and you must bring your large cahonies, but not real techincal.

Got to connect with old and new friends, including The Big Turtle himself.
You guys who didn't come this year missed a near perfect track and a very smooth running event. Read um and weep.![crying](https://rennlist.com/forums/graemlins/bigcry.gif)
