Default decided to go racing

i had the opportunity to rent a 944 sp2 car and get my racing license for pca at CMP this weekend. this is my 1st race ever and 1st time ever driving a 944 as well as never driving a car without power steering or ABS. my only goal was to finish the races without incident and stay out of the way, especially our own ZBB0730 aka Roger. here are just a few laps of me being to keep up and watch these guys battle a little bit, even stuck my nose in there once in a while. had a blast racing and look forward to more of it. even did a 90min enduro and felt great getting out the car after that. must be the spin classes ive been doing lately with the wife

The 944 spec is supposed to be the best bang for the buck racing out there...How did you like it?

definitely the best bang for bucks. i really enjoyed but it was an adjustment to taking forever to get down the straights after being in GT cars the last 10yrs

Congrats. The 944 is a great learning tool, and a blast in the corners!

Congrats, sorry had to miss this year, always a great event. I know a very nice local SP3 NA 944 that is for sale. Will give you a lot more straight-away pace than the SP2!

Great job and congrats to a perfect start to racing. You had fun, kept your nose clean, and learned something. Are you hooked ? It's all down hill from here
