Don't sweat the sizing. Sounds like you've got a good start for the weekend.

The tech form for Carolinas PCA, the one I use the most, says: equal restraints for both front seats.

YMMV.

Have fun.

I plan to run in POC PDS and Time Trial. I believe it classes as "j prepared" in POC.

In any case, not too concerned as I'm not going wheel to wheel and have no delusions that I'll be winning TOTD in my class

It is! Frank is a great guy, super happy to have met him and picked this up from him. He's got an exciting new one of his own that I believe is debuting at Racer's Clinic this weekend!

If that car is as nice in person as it looks here perhaps a bit of clear bra and windshield tear offs could be a consideration.

It's n 84 3.2 that had the top end worked on ( listed above) last summer.


Just got back with new tires. Rides better, turns in sharper, no more vibration! Love it!

I'll be there that weekend for POC Pds both days. I'm sure I can't miss the beautiful blue car. I'll come and say hello.

It will be my first POC PDS event and looking forward to it.

I'll be in my white gt3 with a lot of poser wannabe racer equipments. =)

Kormaster: Please do say hello! I'll be with my friend Vinh, who is bringing his gray 997 GTS. We are both POC PDS newbies as well, this is our first event too!

Have an appointment on Tuesday at TRE to get Tech'd and hopefully fix fuel sender gasket leak. Then I'll just have seats left on my short todo list.

If you never have been on the track before, POC puts you in the yellow group. With some track experience you might run in white for a check out ride.


Quick Reply: New toy. First HPDE (POC PDS) next weekend. What have I done? ;)
