Greetings from the beach........



Silver, you be careful with that new set up........DSC is gonna bitch and moan until you get it right (trust me), but when you do...it's sweet.

Ya'll have a great time, be safe, and keep the shinny side up.

I can't wait, I am gonna need a lot of memory cards for this. There are some really cool cars, I am looking forward to seeing the Radical, if I had a race car, it would be one of those. and of course, lots of 911 action, and my beloved RX-8's will be putting down some rubber too. I will be loving life on Sunday.

L8, I called Barber and had your name put down on the entry list as our photographer. You should not have any problem at all. I will PM you with some more info.

So far the weather prognostics are for sunny and warm on Saturday and partially cloudy and cooler on Sunday and no rain.

Silver, don't think that all the Porches will pass you and you wont "get any"..

Even though I have a feeling the driver level maybe a little higher than NASA. I still think that the driver skills / speed will be all over the map we should have plenty of opportunities to get some Porsche passes on our video.

We as a group have passed several Porsches, 400+ HP Mustangs, a bevy of BMW, Evos, et all (including race prepared cars) in the past and I don't think this will be that much different.

Oh Boy, 1.5 days left

Yea - Weather looks great on Saturday, yet Sunday looks a little cold - 33 degrees in the Morning and warming up to only 50 degrees. Better bring some thermal underwear!

For those who are going:

Remember you must Tech your car BEFORE the event!

Unlike NASA they do not tech your car at the event, and you must bring the signed form with you.

definitely, I don't know that mine will have a connection that works with your camera, so best to use one that you know works. I will need it for the shots I want to do, i want to try to get really crisp images this time.

I pack tonight.
Tomorrow morning at 6:00 I head to Charlies and unpack.
Sometime mid day, I pack again.
2:00 PM appointment at Grand Turismo and I unpack again.
Sometime mid PM I load everything back up and head to TA's and then to Barber
Sometime PM I unload everything for tech inspection (hopefully at the hotel)
If not then I unload everything for tech inspection at the track
Then have to load it back to head to the hotel to unload
Jeeeeezzzzzz.... is it really worth it!



HELL YEA!

The day is here - and I am not ready. This sucks! Levent came over last night and helped me out, so I am close. I don't think I will be able to leave until about 4PM, that would put me at the hotel around 8PM or so.

Everything is done - except for my oil cooler relocation. After our good friend Levent left, I stripped a tread on a connection, so I hope the local shop has the fitting, then it will take me about an hour to finish. Then it is off to wash the beast, load it on the trail, pack and then it is off to Barber. Gosh, two track weekends back to back is pretty stressful!
