Default It's a Slippery Slope - An Introduction

It's a slippery slope:

2003 - 993 C4S at Lime Rock Prak, CT



2007 - GT3 at Mondello Park (Ireland)



1994 - RS America at Mondello Park (Ireland)



Back in the US I needed a



to lug around the RSA

and ultimately figured that I needed a purpose built dedicated track car:



but wanted for it to look like this:



So I ended up with this (2006 Cayman S Monticello, NY):





It's an addiction and a very slippery slope

BTW - I really enjoyed meeting everybody at Monticello today.

I have worked with Frank and he is a fast learner. Picks up skills by both in car instruction and data analysis. He will be competitive in his first race. Good luck with the car can't wait to see it.

Thanks!

Car was built by Rick Deman to PCA H Stock spec. My wife insisted on the GT3 wing so that will have to come off for racing. Donor car was an '06 Cayman S. Here is some more info:

The crocodiles are coming to get you. Look for super modified ones to start beating Cups at PCA races near you....

Probably not yet. This will depend on my lap times when I get there for the first DE. Just don't want to be this big moving obstacle for everybody
