Definitely! Wish we got some footage of you drifting around twice!

I had my traction on the whole time. Porsche dials theirs to be not quite as aggressive as BMW's so a certain degree of leeway (up to 5%) is allowed before it kicks in. I never turn mine off.

I was pissed with Mitchel because he got to only good bit of road on that drive. I wasn't pissed with you though I did nearly **** my pants :-P

Troy, It was a good drive, but there were too many cars and a lot of traffic. Not much can be done about that. All said though I had fun and got my car on a race track for the first time ever.... shorter than I was expecting and yes, slower too... but fun none the less. Thanks for running the drive!

unless your James Bond then you get two, or a cat at 9. I figure Jason is somewhere in between.

Looked like dark metallic grey to me. We followed him through town and spoke briefly with him. Apparently his "other" toy is a 700 hp Viper and he was really smug about it too.

I do! But the ride was way too short. I just hope I wasn't screamming like a little school girl. How can I get more tickets for the ride?

Have you ever watched a show called Scrubs? There is a character named J.D. and he thinks out loud and they include a full on visual. I keep re-thinking the last section up to your house hoping I wasn't squeeling. You wont' say anything will you Jason?

Waide. I should be building the "Legend", but I'm not and yes, I'm ready for a day of hookie. Like today......now!

Tell me about it...it was painful not being able to step on it! It didn't help that Mitchel was kind of goading me to pass everyone at one point. I did get to pick up the pace a tiny little bit on the 3rd lap which wasn't captured on video. At least I can say I've been on Pacific Raceway.

You were upset with me because I drove your car to slow, so I guess we can't win.

Thank you Troy for leading the drive. I was astonished at the condition of the track (very primitive).
