After a rather n00b-ish performance at the Bristol event in the rain, I feel somewhat better after coming away with a 2nd
in "pro" class in the wet at Walter State this past weekend.
I gambled a bit playing with my shock
setting and tire pressures, but I think it paid off this time. The car was a bit of a handful in the first slalom
due mostly to a camber change in the pavement, but was pretty solid and felt very nimble everywhere else. I think I
may try one more combination of shock settings this weekend at the Porsche Club autocross that I am attending for some extra
seat time.
It's not on the schedule, but will be at Pellissippi State this Sunday ~11am or so.
As discretion oft proves the better part of valor, brevity
oft proves the better part of writing. Due to some mild retardation I have no video from my HPDE outing and
thus, on this occasion, I must hang my hat on mere words and pictures.
I will admit to some trepidation as
I unloaded my car in a driving snow storm on Friday the 12th. Camden, SC where I lodged received, in fact, 5 inches
of accumulation in about 12 hours Friday night. Fortunately, all was not lost.
UPDATE: So, as I posted in the blog section to the left, all went well. I ran somewhat
of a mini-blog on Tennspeed, and I am way too lazy to transcribe the entire thing, so in lieu of actual work, here is a link:
So, we are at it again. We loaded the GT2 onto the trailer yesterday
(Wednesday 11/11) and headed south. We pulled in today and with a favorable weather forecast, it looks like some pretty
slick stuff is going to come out of the woodwork. I snapped a few teaser pics in the garage earlier this evening, but
will post more. The link below will take you to all pictures:
Better
late to the headlines than never. TJ finally managed to get the 240 up and completely running a month or so ago.
Now it is just an issue of a little polish and fine-tuning. In honor of this momentous occasion, 3-Zero productions
presents....a ridiculous video montage
It snowed
here in Knoxville recently, and I was reminded how very incompetent most people are at driving in the white stuff. To
wit, I present to you, "how it's done":
