So you don't want to be trailing someone with sticky tires on that left side of that back straight unless you're ready to replace your windshield.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Stop posting all those crappy images!!!
I mean where is the rest???? I love picture galleries......an great image says more than a thousand words (that is why I am going to shut up now and go back to the beginning of this tread and look at all the images again...and again....and again.....and....AGAIN
Thanks Mike
-Its my pleasure ladies and Gents!
-Its always TWO days South Course and One day Full Course for the Sept PCA First Settlers Region
DE. The one in May is always a 3 day Full Course. I like the south paddock in some ways... lots of trees to keep you in the shade when not running. Bad thing about it is they still have the rocks in the middle of that Paddock (unlike North's where there only sand) which eventtually migrates onto the back straights! So you don't want to be trailing someone with sticky tires on that left side of that back straight unless you're ready to replace your windshield.
-Whats a Caterham?
-No I didn't run the 996. I just try to do DE once every other year. Enough for what I need(not want
) to know about the cars capability.
Mike
DE once every other year??!!
What emotion control THAT is!! I try do hold my races to 1 every month and that's tough!! Where do you get such control??
I haven't tracked the 99 996...yet! I swore I wouldn't but even that's tough. I find myself looking for track wheel or trying to figure if my 17" Fiskes will fit in the wheel well of the 996. I almost came up there and instructed but had a race at Roebling last weekend. Plus the new wife definitely helps me with track day discipline
As usual, great pics!
Pat!!! How are you? I have not seen you at VIR.. unless you're in the pro circuit now. I have been bragging to friends that they need to ride with you if they want to get the perfect line on the climbing esses! So dont let me down
j/k.
I need a track car to attend track days as much as I want. I just dont have the resources to pay for wear and tear on the 996. With my limited resources, that car is my Porsche for life!
OR unless I take the daughter's college funds
Great pictures Mike. Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet, your old mufflers are on the silver 996 number 13 which my wife was driving. Thanks for posting them.
Great shots Mike....I like the fisheye effect...gives things a great perspective. Wonderful photography. Thanks for sharing. I also see you still have the polished CCW wheels.....glad you kept the polished ones rather than painted centers. I just ordered the the T10's from John today.
Hey Chuck,
Congratulations for pulling the trigger on the CCWs!! You wont regret them. Such fine workmanship. According to JOhn, use Mother's Billet Alluminum Polish to take care of small scratches. Pls post pix when you get them on!
Mike: Got the wheels...posted pics. Thanx for the recommendation and pics. Helped make the decision easy. Love the wheels. Many compliments from onlookers.
