Any plans for your car during the off season?

A place to hang out and discuss all things Porsche.

Right on Steve, I'm sure it will be in fine form for the Parade AX TTOD.
Eric in Mark's new widebody may have other plans though. :wink:
Should be fun to watch!

Nothin' goin on with the Bee. Same old, same old. Actually it's gathering dust in a garage in Anaheim and waitin to be pulled around the track by all these fancy new speedsters with their new aerobodies :wink: . Sure hope there's a way to join in the fun again sometime this coming year with SDR. Unfortunately, with my schedule, it looks like it won't be until the end of the year. But GOOD NEWS!! I'm gettin' ready for my TOP 10 prediction for Willow!!! :lol:
Stand by!!

Ahaa.... spoken like a true sandbagger. This coming from the guy with dyno pulls of his competitors.

Only safety upgrades for me this year for club racing.

Looking forward to the "annual" WSIR Top Ten prognostications and analysis.

I am moving from KP to KI. They are only six points, but they should be effective ones.

As Old Yeller sits forlornely in the garage, looking quite the mess, the new car sits without an engine, looking equally forelorne (new engine is just about complete but won't go in for a bit) . We just purchased a new home so they will stay forelorne for a bit. I am sure it will be loads of fun pushing them both off and on the trailer when me move. The good news is the 930 street car is up and running after some minor repairs on the fuel system. It also looks equally forelorne as I just don't have the time to drive it. It is for sale for the right price. Hopefully I will at least be able to run Fontana. Anything sooner is looking kind of "iffy".

If I don't see you all soon, I will see you later.

PS. Maybe the new car with a new engine, will be better able to keep up with that "other" yellow car, although I amnot holding my breath. John, keep smoking those smelly stogies and maybe it will slow you back down!!

JHP -
My stock 3.2 is no threat and even you don't have the dyno file. I'm going to dyno the car out of town at a secret place when the motor is rebult. :lol:
I'm on for WSIR with PCA and I may run some POC events later in the year. Right now I'm planning to do the PCA race clinic in March.

Safety upgrades only - really

Likewise, always fun hanging and driving with you.

I see Bill Dawson's car is for sale - maybe he already has a replacement?

Bill bought Steve Bernheim's monster Turbo (which has in the past been in the "teens" at Willow)and promptly blew up the motor his first time out at Willow w/POC earlier this month. Actually, an oil line blew and he damaged the bearings running with low/no oil coming back to the pits. As if Bill wasn't fast enough in his old car, he's gonna be alot faster now after things get sorted out. The car should be in a CLass by itself for PCA TT purposes (e.g. AR3!)

Awesome car for awsome Bill Dawson!
Did it point out of AR1?
Imho it may be the perfect AR1 car this year. :D
Soon AR1 will be full of 160mph, 550hp hot rods! :wink: :D

Hey that Yellow and Purple combo is radical, hope to see your completed car photos posted next week.
Think I might drop by Vintage Race paint next week to see your wild new ride up close in the sunlight.
My xmas Tequila gift to Hector may be gone already, Sunday eve bet your's is put to good abuse. 8)
Good to know Mark and Hector are willing to work late hours and weekends to get'r done on time.
