I'll post some pictures and video when i can, but we ran 3 sprint races, and an enduro. I placed first in class in 2 sprints and the enduro. the one I didn't was because I got a flat tire and didn't finish.

We had a great race weekend. I spent the time dicing it up with the RS America's, 993's and a 964 cup car that spun in front of me!

In one race, I started 18th and ended up 7th overall. My little 2.2 liter engine ran perfect after we had some issues on Friday - found it to be a clogged fuel filter.

Oh, and Huey was entered in the Charity Car show and won Best Race car entered out of 10 racers!

Good weekend all around.

Yep, as soon as I saw the brake lights, I backed off knowing what was coming next.

That was a 964 cup car too....

About 9 laps into the race, when the 944 really pulled away, the engine started running terrible, and my lap times dropped by about 5 seconds per lap. You can hear it on the long video (didn't want to bore everyone). Turns out, it was a plugged up fuel filter. That's why the 964 cup caught and passed me. I was 15+ seconds ahead of her when the fuel problem arose...

The videos wouldn't automatically open for me, but all I had to do was COPY the URL of the video, open Windows Media Player, click on 'File', scroll down and click on 'Open URL' and PASTED the URL in the text box ...

well, here's the direct link to the CMP video..

Great video!! The kink can indeed inspire some pucker factor... with it being off camber and all the speed carried through there, a tap of the brakes is sure way to see what 100MPH backwards is like!

A great run! Thanks for posting the video. Just wondering what happened with your motor, and do you plan on bringing your car to the Zone 1 Porsche Club race at Watkins Glen next year?

It turns out it was a clogged fuel filter...

Thinking about WGI, we'll see if it fits into my schedule, and it depends on what Pete decides as the race mix (4 sprints, 2 sprints & enduro, etc). Not sure I'll make the trip for 4 normal sprints...

...I saw a photo of your crunched yellow and blue car...everyone alright?
On your website I saw the video of the 944 passing you and I knew something was amiss..."GTF outtaHere, No way" was my response...

Yep, we were fine. Read through the whole thing when you have the time. Posted under News and "terrible week at Targa...."

Quite a week....

Once we got the fuel filter swapped, I had a wonderful race weekend. The little 2.2 really ran great.
