Mike,

I like green. Its a unique thought. Plenty of white space to add sponsors.

How did you imbed the photo of the paint shop guys in your post. I have read the FAQ's. I tried a bunch of stuff, but havent been able to make it happen. Please let me know. You must be one of those engineering types.

Thanks George, it was to be white and blue but then the day before paint Mark Tyler came up with this classy green with gold pearl.
It's not too bright, kinda low key for the street.
I plan to drive it down to the next AX.

Image posting is very easy if you register with http://photobucket.com/.
I upload my photos from my PC to my Photo bucket album.
Then under the uploaded Photo bucket image you can select "img", this copies the "IMG addy".
Then on the forum in your post you simply paste this "IMG addy" to your thread and your picture appears.
Let me know if you need more help with the copy and paste.
I hope others try this too, the more Porsche photos the better.

What's stings worse a Killer bee or a Mad hornet?
Some just for fun graphics.

Yeh, that just screams street legal stock road car

I wouldn't suggest speeding on the way to the AX

Agree as it appears in that picture, not street legal.
Mark Tyler painted up a second set of front fenders with real headlights.
Takes only a couple minutes to change out the Simone front fenders.
Just replace the wiper arms, put on the smaller Simone wing and take off the Green Hornet lettering.
There you have it ready for the Robertos drive thru.

There are a couple barely street legal cars at the TT events.
Anthony Dilanzo TTOD last TT along with Roland Schmidt's 911 are street legal too.

Figured this was a good segue into this month's Car & Driver's article on sports cars for the track. The real street cars were Corvette Z06 ($77k)on Goodyear Eagle F1, Porsche 911 GT3 ($120k) on Michelin Pilot Sport Cups and the supercharged Lotus Exige ($64k) on Yokohama A048. The semi-street cars were Ariel Atom (($60k) on the Yoko A048, Noble M400 ($98k) on Pirelli PZero Corsa and a Superformance Brock Coupe ($98k) on Kumho V710s.
They took them to Buttonwillow and used #13 which is what we usually use except without Star Mazda. We did run this configuration in 2003 and TTOD was Jae Lee's AR 911 at 2:00.5, then Anthony DiLanzo's AM 911 at 2:01.1, Mike Avitt's JI 928 at 2:01.31 and then Jack Miller's JI C2 at 2:01.81.
The street cars had the Corvette Z06 at 2:01.00, the GT3 at 2:01.5 and the Lotus at 2:04.3. The other cars had the Atom at 1:58.3, the Noble at 2:00.4 and the Brock Coupe at 2:02.7.
I would have to think the Corvette was under-tired as I can't think of anyone who is using Goodyear Eagle F1s as their track day tires and all of the others have some track reputation.
But at least Jae Lee has most of them covered.

Given Jae's upgrades in the last few years and a cool day, I will still put my money on him Might be fun to run that configuration again and have some benchmarks. I think KI may give them a run as well based on Jacks time! OK, I need to drive soon, I am losing it

Might be fun to run that configuration on Saturday and save the brakes and then switch back on Sunday for practice and timed runs

Actually Jae's car will be super street legal soon.
He plans to install a stock 3.6 and race/drive it that way for a while.
What should the Dolphin award look like for fastest TT street car?

Off on a good tangent......
Greg I totally agree with you.
We get so much track time at the SD TT events there could be time to do this.

The POC runs two points events in one weekend.
Sometimes they change the track configuration.
It's your best lap time in session 3,4 or 5 for your recorded time that day.

So whats good about that?
A double points weekend increases rewards for participating.
New track 2nd day increases interest (will the results vary?).
More interest in lap times Saturday afternoon.
More efficient use of track time, no down time for timed runs Sunday afternoon.
You could get your best lap in Sunday 3rd session and hit the road early if you like.

Mike, I would agree! I like the way the POC's STS has two events on a weekend. We have a lot of track time on Saturday and Sunday. It would be nice to change it up the second day.

Just my 2 cents:) Might get a few more AX guys out if they could come up for one day...Then the hook is set.

Have Fun! Steve
