got passed once all weekend, 1st session, Supra Twin Turbo - 650HP...>
the guy was a race mechanic and had like 14 track days. I could stay behind him around the back but every straight he would walk 2-3 car lengths on me. He ran a couple of my guys off the road and they moved him up to 'B' right away where he was dealt with accordingly.

Do they let you run 987 with stock roll hoops or did you have to add 4 point roll bar?
I am frustrated that every where I checked, stock TTQR is banned from DE and other track events.

gotta say the 'S' is great car right out of the box, but it did cost a bit more...>
than my TT. I gave around $47k for it with 1,300 miles on it. The thing handles like nothing I've ever owned before. It's a very neutral sort of drift on the track and it never surprises you with any bad habits like some other cars I've had.

KY-PCA is there June 16-18. I would love to see some of you guys there...>
...if you want to do 2 DE's in 2-weeks. You could come and practice beating up on all the Porsche guys like me to get ready for the Audi DE. I'm new to the DE thing but I can't get enough of it, it's totally addictive.
It's our club's first ever DE on our own and I'm on the board. The event will be open to anyone so I was hoping some of you guys could make it.
Are you doing the Audi DE?
Is it open to other cars?
