Hargy, as low as your seat sits in that Turbo, poor Patrick would need to sit on telephone books just to see over the steering wheel!
I'd be in for NJMP!!

Patrick was next to me on Grid for the 2nd Red Sprint Race. I was scared sheetless because I didn't want to be the one to do something stupid and take out a pro driver. The green flag dropped and before I knew it he had slithered by me on the inside of T1 and passed another car instantly. I was able to hang with him for about 4 laps as I battled significant electrical issues. It was really something to do a lead-follow with him - I think I learned more in those few laps through observing than I have in a while. I only wish my car was working so I could have hung on longer. Like everything else that weekend, the camera was not working

<-----------------------------------------this photo still cracks me up though
Looks like my ploy worked. Even at the height of your personal achievement, receiving the award from Derek Bell, I'm still crawlin' around in your noggin. Now just sell that POS GT car and join the party in Spec Boxster with the rest of us.

Sorry to hear about your car!

The car is not 38D's former car. It's a very nice, and very period-correct (shocks) early 964 Cup. I haven't driven it for a couple years, but it's very nice and easy to drive.
Owner of the car is a friend/client of mine. Will let him know of this thread and ask if there's video. I was really bummed about not making the trip to Sebring with him this year!!! He had an awesome time, obviously!
