I for one think the new track records page is very cool even though I will never see my name appear on it. It is also interesting to compare older records when we know car and especially tire technology is advancing so quickly. There will be issues about class as GSS for instance will have completely different cars in it from 2004 to 2005 to 2006.
No GSS 944 will ever beat the GSS 911E record for WSIR.
As for my pass Dan should be glad it was me and not Tim Comeau, as it was my corner and if you listen to Tim's philosophy on whose corner it is you will need more than paint work (Those in the dark need to see Tim's Mad Max style video footage of the Tecate GP)
And speaking of almost... Almost fortunately doesn't count. Like Dan almost made top 10. But he must have made top 10 in BRI...Top 20??? Ouch 23rd in such a finely prepared car?
That's like a D- isn't it???

Laugh at my rattle can paint, but when I had a show car paint job like Dan's and Curt's, I was slow like Dan and Curt. Now that my car looks more like Steve's, I seem to be in the Top Ten most of the time. Hey, once I rattle can the back half of the car, maybe I will catch Steve
And Kary, the records are great, I just need competition for discussion, right now I have the track record in KP for every track I have run, and even a few in KS - Take that aircooled KP

Don't think I'm not seriously contemplating buying a car that will work with me to help me achieve fast lap times as opposed to racing a car that seems like it is always looking for the perfect opportunity to flip me off the track into the weeds.

Trounced? Cause Kary is talking about being faster than 911's that are 25 YEARS OLDER THAN HIS?!!!!!?
Maybe Kary should concentrate on trying to hang with a 911 that is only 16 years older than his and focus on staying just ahead of a 911 that is 5 years older than his?
