Wow, what a weekend at Sears Point!
Hung out with a bunch of 911 drivers with Gamroth's group. Big ass wings everywhere. My little red 914 was the oddball. Lots of folks coming over to look it over once they heard it run. "What you got in there?"
Saturday's sessions were purely a get comfortable with the car on the track day, get "comfortable" with the blind corners, and get used to running with other cars. NASA put on a good show. Car was a little loose in the back so we added some front bar, car balanced out nicely. Driver meetings after every session, then opening up the passing zones as the day went. I was learning how to strap the Hans device in, and how to breath while driving. Trekkor came by to say Hi Saturday night and bailed out a 914 driver with a broken gas tank.
Sunday was a completely different story......Trekkor came by first thing and rode with me for the first two sessions. Pure terror throught the carosel and through turn 10 for the first few laps. He was timing laps for me, times were dropping as we went. He managed to coach me down to 2:01's, felt great, once I got the hang of it. Sunday afternoon NASA opened the track for open passing, no restrictions. What a hoot! I began keeping up with a really fast local boxster for the first time. I was even passing several cars per session. By then the only cars passing me were the whoop ass, big wing 911's. My driving picked up several notches, Many thanks to Trekkor.
Every one in our group finished the weekend with cars in tact, in fact, I saw or heard of no incidents or contact all weekend.
I'm told Thunder Hill is the place to go next. See some of you there next year.....
Again, many thanks to Trekkor.
Sorry no pics, couldn't find the little camera before I left.
