Thanks to Sean and Mayur and everyone else that contributed to making this such a great Smokies experience. Got about halfway home this morning when this lovely error message appeared. Looked to see if I was on fire (it happens, you know). Seeing no smoke or flames, I pulled over at the next gas station and checked the error codes with my trusty OBDII reader (never leave home without it). It was just a catalyst code. My headers have a crack in them and my cats may be getting burned up from a few too many track days. Will be reverting to the stock exhaust manifolds while I sort out the header issue. Not a biggie in the context of an otherwise great weekend!
Forgot the mention that one of the highlights of the weekend was driving Phil's car at AMP. The thing is a beast with the Dundon race headers. I've never seen so many aftermarket options on one car - Phil is out of control!
Smokies heading home on a rainy Sunday. Did a loop over Richard b. Russell hwy in the rain.. fun at lower speeds. Also spotted some of the local n. Georgia fauna, and then ran into Sean Groer throwing rooster tails from his beautiful lava RS. Perfect ending.
For those who came to do the Dragon runs with us.. and anyone who went on the Dragon during smokies, reminder to check their website for pics of your car.
I found some pretty decent shots of those of us on the early morning run. We weren't hitting it too hard because it was wet, so there isn't nearly as much lean as one would like for that 'action' feel.. that and the 918 cars don't lean much.. but the other cars have great pics... found the direct link for us:
here are some fun proofs i'm finding.. if you guys want them, the photos are very inexpensive and those guys work really hard to capture our special moments.
the Smokies are in town...
probably the hardest driven 911R in the world. I've put more miles on this baby than maybe even the owner, because in the group drives everyone picks the 918's.. and I love every manual shift and sound.
very balanced... even when chasing a 918 on the Dragon and working so hard I was sweating
