Pix are loaded onto my PC at home which is off the net thanks to Verizon's hack-job installing FIOS cabling through the 'hood.

It was fun to see all the Porsches. Much less variety than an Audi event, but lots of race prepped cars.

Jim's car/trailer/tow vehicle setup is incredible. He could save a couple hundred bucks by packing a cot into the trailer.

Porsche Club had no problems with kids coming by, provided they signed the waiver.

Default Greg, good to see you (and also Reggie and John Galloway) Where was KJ?

It was a lot tougher driving a fast car without antilock brakes, as compared to my twin turbo A6.

One of the cool thing about the car was the straight-through exhaust. When I watched my in-car video, I loved to hear the throttle blip on the down-shifts. In my own mind, I sounded like a racer, even I have limited skills.

We're waiting patiently for Greg's home Internet to be restored so we can have the pictures.

The difference I noticed about the Porsche Club as Compared to Audi Club track events was (1) the age of the attendees seemed much higher. They only let you run Porsches and how many people under 35 have a Porsche that they want to track; and (2) the upper level people seemed much more serious about driving/racing. It seemed like a ton of people at the event do Porsche Club racing.

Default Were you running in Black or White?

I saw your car coming off the grid once, but that's it. How did you like it? How do you like running w/PCA?

Default Yeah. They wouldn't let me take the MDX out on track either. Snobs. The kids were belted in!

I understand that kids and fast cars are a bad combo, but my kids are old enough (8, 8 and 10) to stay out of trouble. I saw a few dogs there, and I find THAT to be much more risky.
