david and i both drove down to see PJ do his runs today. wow! you guys should have seen PJ! He hauled butt on that track! it was my first time out to PR and what a show! His pcar looked very stealth and you blew past everyone! very cool to watch today!

can't wait to sign up for my DE and get my butt out there! i'll be doing a lot of waving everyone by i think!

Nice job PJ!!

 

Time with your GT3 is up

 

Yeah, PJ was hauling!

PS, I didn't buy the V1, you should have seen the kid trying to sell it. His car looked like some Acura Integra Harlequin! http://www.rossvw.com/harlequin/

It was a version 1.7 and he had a Fro!

I was like "Ummmmmmmmmmmm....ummmmmmmmmmm, I think I'm going to have to pass man"

I would bet money that the V1 was stolen.

 

Thanks for coming out Mitchel, David and Jodie -- hurry up and get the one day class under your belt so you can join me next spring.

Mark -- sorry to say I did not see 150 mph today... when I got to the track, my in dash thermometer said 28 degrees! Conditions were good though... track was not as slick as I was expecting.

Mini D -- I wish you told me sooner as I just bought seats, hardware, harnesses, and a Hans device last night! -- now... GMG bar or Das Sport?... the final piece of the puzzle...

All in all a great day at the track... excellently managed by the Proformance team and I look forward to next season and some track events with you guys!

 

yep! i hope to join next year!

david....i saw this thread and thought about you! you should post your pic!

PJ, WHEN ARE YOU GONNA RACE and not this D.E. stuff.

 

When did you guys show up? I was there until 12ish and didn't see anyone else.

 

mitchel,

david and i got there about 1:45'ish or 2o i think. we must have just missed you. =(

 

at least it was warmer. I was kicking my own *** the entire time for not bringing my damn gloves. It was so cold out.

 

Good question Mini D...
I want to start racing, but I do not think I can afford to race a late model Porsche... yet....

My wife and I just had our first child... so a racing budget may be a ways off...

I was chatting up one of the istructors at the track that was
shaking down" his Pro-3 car (local E90 BMW spec series -- suspesion mods allowed) and inquiring about costs etc... that may be a good series to "get my feet wet" in...

Although I am out of garage space and my wife is losing patience with the car "hobby"...

So for now -- lapping days will have to suffice -- although I plan on attending some of the Pro-3 races this year to see what it is all about. I sponsored an SCCA Touring 2 class car last year (350Z) and went to a race to see what it was like... I could definitely see myself doing that as well at some point. I have thought about selling my M5 to finance a race car but given the new baby, I need at least a solid year of parenting before I develop a new obsession... at least according to my wife.

I want to expand my lapping days to at least including Portland next year.

For now miniD -- lapping will have to do but you are right... it will ultimately lead to some type of racing.

I have a feeling that lapping days are the "gateway drug" that can lead to a more serious addiction.

In time...

 

I was out running a half-marathon this morning. It was C-C-C-O-L-D out there.
