Let's start out 2011 together! The January Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion will be January 1st 10am to 1pm at Family Donuts and Deli - 9045 Fair Oaks Blvd. in Carmichael California. Note the later start time to accommodate the guys who went out the night before. See you there![b] Definately don't come drunk because after we close up the donut shop let's head over to RPM and tear up the track.

So another Sacramento Porsche Family Reunion is in the books! We had a surprising turn out. There is a table at the donut shop that seats 16 people and we had that covered and spilled into another table as well. I didn't do an accurate count but we had quite a herd. One of the guys drove up from San Leandro 'just to get some miles on (my) car'.

At 1PM we all headed over to RPM for some SPEED THERAPY. With a little teasing and flirting with the RPM babe I managed to get us all in a single group by ourselves. So 5 of us went out on the course in a group without any other people there... Bill Madamba and Gary Cook (Z Car guys) have the most track experience and it showed as they lapped the field at least twice. Gary ended the session in first with Bill just 5/100 of a second back of his best. Justin P, one of the Porsche guys was in third and I was 1/3 second back from him. Don brought up the rear.
Because we were only 5 of us on the track, I spent a good deal of time by myself. So when I came up behind Don on the North end of the track, I was just itching to set up a good pass. I stabbed the brakes to set myself up to come out of the corner inside of Don and then jumped on the throttle hard trying to get to the next corner and pinch him off behind me. I would have made it too if I didn't get nailed from behind by Gary who had his own pass in mind! I got punted ahead and lost both of them in the corner while trying to collect myself and get pointed back up track. I passed Don in the corner at the South end and later I told Gary if he was going to hit me that hard from behind he should probably take me out to dinner and some dancing first! Whew!!!
It was great fun and we will be doing that again for sure!!! Thanks to all who came!
