Our local Porsche race shop has aquired a car transport and is making the rounds of West coast race tracks. They are providing pit crew, driving instruction, parts if needed. So I joined the trip to Sears Point this next month. I saw my first race there as a kid with my father, an "Indy car" race. This time my father will be there to see me go around, actually hoping to take him for a spin as well.
I really enjoyed Trekkor's video at sears Point of him passing every car on the track. I especially enjoyed the pass of the vette. I haven't seen the track for almost 30 years. Looks like mucho fun. So, any of you Bay Area pukes gonna be there Oct. 28-29? Hope to see some of you guys to play with.......... |

QUOTE What are the top speeds involved? Looks real fast. You may hit 110 at the end of the main straight before you turn in and up the hill. The long uphill to 7 is fast as well. The biggie is the approach to turn 10. I apex at 97 and exit at 105. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Please be careful... KT |

I think key with 10 is getting over to the left as far as possible prior to entering the turn without unsettling the car, braking smoothly and then getting on power right away and ignoring the wall that you drift towards. And it takes some fortitude to stay on power through the corner out of start/finnish even in my 2.4. Would a 3.2 need to lift? I'm thinking a 3.2 would be doing 110+ 914 has some advatages over other cars on some turns. Go deep in turn 6 most cars slow down way too soon. Same with turn 7 and turn 11 Be real careful with turn 2 and 3a when course is cool Both those corners can suprise you when you try to apply power. |
