Small displacement guys? I only have a cute little 2.9L motor. I'll try and keep up. :D Maybe I better buy a huge F-117 wing if I want to be competitive.

I'd like to find a renter for the weekend, Pete. If I can, I'm in.
BTW, the 944-spec track record for Configuration #1 CW is 2:17.093.
That's a fun layout! :D

Curt - That avatar gives me a headache, just like the roll call list. I hear Jim Payne is debuting another J Simone special like Bob Erman.


Get the wing, buy a hole saw and get to it. 2.9L and 1800 lbs should do it.

Man, that makes me miss my ice green 911.............Last time I raced it was at Buttonwillow in June of 1999 with the POC. :cry:
If nobody buys these racing heads I have maybe we'll just build another 2.7. or a 2.9.......? :twisted:

I thought about the F-117 wing, but I eventually opted for the the full B-52 wing instead !!!! :wink:

Sheez!

I just realized I have a student at BWRP, and can't find where I
put the passenger seat! (If you've seen my garage, you'd
understand)

Not to worry, I found an "aftermarket" model that is lightweight
and strong (sound's like Jad's Nomex underwear). Plus, it kinda
matches the interior (or what's left of it).

Okay, Bill - hope you like it.....

Don't over do it Paul. Looks like you're giving me a Lay-Z-Boy to relax in with all that padding. Will it recline? Looks like a couple of mounting brackets is all that's needed to pass Tech.

Can't wait to get to the track and get started. All this talking about it now has me studying video and reading all the lap reviews I can find.

Actually, the low slung beach chairs work even better. Less weight and lower CG!

Bueno Burl! Glad you can make it. The rest of us are taking a smack break after a flury last week, but feel free to launch a couple of salvos.

Looks like I'll be there too. :D
