You missed Kitchener-Waterloo

I wasn't planning on going until a little later in the year, but the weather is looking good on Saturday. Anyone else from KW thinking of driving to the track on Saturday?

Sunny and 21 on Saturday, perfect weather for the opening day.

Porsche owners, even if you do not plan on hitting the Track tomorrow, why not take a drive to the Bend and drop in to watch for awhile. Perfect day for a drive.

Cool

Three Porsches ran today - 964, 991 S and my 991 GT3.

I was fortunate to be coached by Former OTC Time Attack Corey Whitman. Corey's suggestions resulted in a lap improvement of about 2.5 Seconds by the last session.

Porsche of London's first track day of 2015 is this coming Friday. Contact them for details. Instruction available.

Porsche of London's first Car Lapping Day is this Friday May 8th. I heard there are currently 18 Porsche owners Pre-registered. There will be instructors there as well so it is a great opportunity for anyone who has never let their Porsche loose on a Track.

I'm going to run Pirelli Trofeo R tires for the first time on June 4th.

I ordered a Crawford Composite Wing this morning. It will take about 4 to 6 weeks to get it. Most people dislike the appearance, I'm more interested to see the performance results.

Never been on a Track before? Here is your chance to get some Track Instruction this Saturday at Porsche of London's Grand Bend Track Day, call them to register.

Two run groups - beginners and experienced.

Take your Porsche off the leash.

Other cars can enter this Saturday as well, I believe a Jag is registered.
