East Coast Trackers...vir Mar 08 Pca Zone 2 Event!!!
My "Rig" is a BLACK Dodge quad cab 3500 shortbed, with a black aluminum bed cover, towing a Haulmark WHITE 24ft. trailer. My BLACK 996Turbo will have the number 915 on the doors. I've got a silver rollbar and silver and black interior in it.
I'll be down infront of the JMAC Racing garage, so look for the black, white and gold GT3 with Jmac racing on it...

My car number will be 37.
If your car is an underdog of power, I don't know what mine is. 
I'm basically all stock in terms of power. To all the turbo owners who say I have XXX AWHP.....I hate you. 
+1 on cup cars being blazing fast.
haha, Ill be interested to see your times compared to mine...Im DEFINITELY the underdog of power (as in stock everything but intake (no programming), headers and straight pipes...I think Im underrubbered and underbraked as well...but I got a hella trick suspension and I know how to use it!

I'm basically all stock in terms of power. To all the turbo owners who say I have XXX AWHP.....I hate you. i was 2:00 and 2:01 s in my last 2000 cup car , 2:05 in stock 996gt3 with mich. slicks,,
and I ran the SY 997 gt3 one last year, stock set up, only ran 5 laps in one session and 9 laps in another session and hit 2:07..
there are alot of very fast folks coming to the event, but i can promise you one thing there will be alot of traffic out there ,,, i wouldnt expect real fast times due to traffic, plus it is the first event for most folks and most are shaking things out ...i think i posted a vid on this thread warming the cup up early last year.
I supose the 2 might be in the 2:07 2:10 range for the first few events i doubt i will push to hard ... just dont know he car

Cup cars scare me!!
At Watkins Glen Last Year Matt Einstein went out in Blue run group to lap a few times in the car to get used to it and he passed me just before the busstop at better than 160MPH... I about ruined a nice OMP driving suit.

I will first and foremost be Mike's instructor and this will be my priority for the weekend.
If he "wants" to drive in white on his own we can take a ride together.
Even when I sign someone off I obsess over there performance and well being the entire weekend as I am sure your instructor will also do.
I like to after the sign off and a solo ride to then go out with my student again to see how all goes.
My "student" is a special case however as this is his home track and he is very experienced. I still want us to learn and share alot, but I think we will get out at least once!!

I am sure you will have a very capable instructor. It is "rare" to have a bad PCA instructor in my experience. Matt would be "THE MAN" at this event.

So are we going to be able to tech on Thursday, so we'll be at the track?
I guess we can leave about noonish then.
On a side note, does anyone have more stuff to do by Thursday than me.
Wash Car (Barber weekend cleaning)
Install Spacers (not bad)
Alignment
Change Tires
Change Rotors
Change oil
Change brake fluid
Change brake pads

The only thing that is an issue is the brakes. And after driving Barber, the rotors still have some life left in them. So I may just change the rotors on friday after my last session. Everything else is simple.
