A place to hang out and discuss all things Porsche.

The new Skip Barber RT-40+ race series

The perfect new series for some of us. Curt told me that Dan Andrews was heavily involved in the development of this new race car and already has his sponsorship lined up for the series. :D

Bandwidth intensive video here.

It is hilarious.

They forgot the 50 mph speed limiter... Dan will definitely need that. :wink:

Oh! Har, har, har. Just makes me want to go out with the new turbo and kick some under 40 butt. Now if I can just remember where I left my helmet, and driving shoes, and damn, where is that car at?

I think a 40 and over race series would probably have to include what, about 90% of our members? Fortunately I'm not one of them :D

I mean who in the club is under 40? Erik Kinninger, me, anyone else? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

By the way Tom, Dan is now eligible for the over 50 series :P

I have to give credit where credit is due. Awesome!

And I guess the only comfort I can take is that pdy has had quite a few years of practice coming up with snappy retorts to old jokes. :D

I would have added you Jad, but that huge off you had at Buttonwillow had to add a few years to your age. :shock: :D

I will enjoy this thread and trash talk all the old people in the club for 10 more weeks... then I will get very quiet. :cry:

I will be 40 AND at Pahrump.

Me whooped? Are you going to let Amy drive your car? Judging by recent history, we might need a different Duncan to jump in there to do some Curt whoopin. And please, no one is interested in ancient history. (especially me :wink: )

If we ever seriously discuss points subtraction for driver weight how about point subtraction for driver age-say 1 point per year over 55? Tom? Tim?

Instead of "points subtraction", how about "second subtraction", e.g. 1 second for each year over ??? :lol:

I think that would mean Dan would time-travel back in time on each run :lol:
