Charles,

Thanks. This is my new DE machine, post COTA, so we should have some fun out at TWS together.

welcome to E class... don't forget to sign up for the TWS CR soon! The race won't be the same without seeing the martini car in the field!

Niels that sounds like a lot of fun, but that would be one expensive race - half of everything I own is more than I am willing pay at this time. I knew it was a bad idea to take my wife to see Rush.

DE with my son for now

Good for you.

The modern cars are faster, but these cars are uncompromising, and fun. You can beat them like rented mules, and they'll really teach you how to drive. No excuses.

I believe the 911s from this period are some of the greatest sports cars ever made.... they are truly race cars for the street, and belong on the track.

Enjoy.

That's what we tell our selves with our 924S ChumpCar :-)

Momentum is your friend and brake pads can last forever!

Welcome to the "old school". Love my '74 in all it's 175hp glory...
I might also add that at a local track day one of our local racing legends (he own's a Honda dealership in Wilsonville OR) was WIPING the field with his 4 cyl '67 Austin Healey Sprite. We're talking the advanced run group Quattro run day... It was fun to watch...

I'm looking forward to getting to know the car. The few laps I turned were and absolute blast.

Congrats and welcome to the 200 horsie club! I don't get to pass many cars at DEs, but I enjoy every one!

How many sessions will Nick get in the new toy? Can he now hold my brake pedal during CL torquing?

Does this mean that this is one less point-by I need to give?
