Ran the 1st Annual Dan Wheldon - Hospital for Children yesterday. All the Pros were No-Shows except for Patrick Long. Patrick vowed to stay behind it and get drivers ( it was the Day after Sebring & 5 Days before the St Pete GP) for next year. We had 42 Drivers & Raised $6500 for the Charity (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)
This is from our 1st Practice My Team was Dead Last @ One Point, but on my 1st Stint I got us up to 4th, then on my last Stint it was a Duel between a PCA Racer (tiny guy maybe 110lbs), Patrick & myself. I believe Patrick held back at the Finish but we all finished within about 10 yards - I got 2nd (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) |

No racing since New Years Day, but next week is the Spring Enduro up at Medford. Sure would like to see another 914 there. Hey, just come and watch and I'll save a spot next to 222 so we can pit together! |

I did race against Mckee, Stagnaro, Cox, and several others a couple weeks ago. Dang ricketty antique 914 beat me in my ultra modern and far superior Z car by 2/10ths to take class win. I must have had a real off day to let that happen! Especially since an old slow guy was driving the car.

Another old slow 914 guy is wishing you'd show up in Medford to take on the fast hill climb boys. Come on Grant. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

We have some awesome time attacks locally and AAS has faster drivers on similar venue in Buttonwillow on their kart track that are easier for us bay area to travel. My car is a bit big for small narrow track. It will be rip roaring fast on Hoopa. I have acceleration test on my local hill where I segment time and get speeds at set markers with my gps. I have run the Boxster in full race trim similar to when i had my record run on Hoopa. I got up to 80 mph in Boxster. New supercharged Z was doing 93! On same test section. Suspect it will be a sub 2:20 car on Hoopa. The Z is pretty darn quick for a street car. Think GT3 capability. Have fun! If enduro was closer I'd go. I just can't afford to take time off to go to this event. This post has been edited by grantsfo: Mar 21 2012, 10:27 PM |

Well the weather isn't looking all that good. Don't mind the cold, but wet isn't all that appealing. As far as Medford the track has lots of room. The Corrvette, Cobra and Subi sedan boys and girls seem to do very well there. How does your wheel base compare? |
