RSR,

Up till now you have not asked me about my driving experience but since you brought it up.

I have trained at Skip Barber Racing school in Sebring Florida, I have competed in the Formula Dodge race series for many years. I competed at the professional level for 2 years in stock cars in the ASA series. And I have done more DE's than I can count. But other than that I am just your average driver!!


Guess I'm not going to look for a piece of you Buddy!!!

Since I pamper my princess so much, I will probably be fighting with Gary for the TOD...

PS: Don't worry Gary, I am a responsible driver and relatively inexperienced with driving 911's so I will not drive above my comfort level. That level is basically taking no risks and and ensuring the continued "Vanity" of my beauty!!!

I'm not worried at all... I know how to get out out of the way.... I drive with all the old people in Florida... You put on your right turn signal in the right lane... then you turn left across two lanes of traffic and wonder why people are screaming at you... Or you wait for a break in traffic and when it does not come soon enough you say "the hell with it... It's my turn and proceed to pull out right in front of someone.. I could go on....

Can't wait to see your "Princess"

The reason this is so funny....ITS SOOOO TRUE!!!! These people HAVE to be in the left lane, and when there is room for them to pull out, they wait, and as soon as you get near, they then pull out....
Crazy people down here

Hey Chad,
the type of event you mentioned for the spring sounds great. However, you (or someone) would need to start planning it now. That type of event can't be pieced together in a month or two. So if you are serious then let us know if you need any help but someone would need to start working on it SOON.

Caneaddict,

Two great events will be taking place in the first week of December. There will be plenty of time to talk about any other events after these have been completed.

They'll be back from SEMA so once they trickle into the office I'll see what dates they're going to book.

More to come...

OK folks, spoke to Dan and here's the latest:

1)Probable venue change from Willow Springs to Button Willow Raceway, which is what CJV wanted (so you're back in now, right?)
2)Dyno will still be at Garrett's place
3)A couple of other tuners are being invited, which is cool

Once the bookings are made I'll let you guys know but keep early December open still.

More to come....

Hi Buddy I did ask them about that so we'll see what they can book. A lot depends on when the track is free....
