A place to hang out and discuss all things Porsche.

While the course layout was very good, they were a little sparse on cones in some area's and it was hard to see/remember some sections on the latter part of the course. It was a nice change to go up against many different makes of cars. One other nice touch they did is on the reg table they had a file folder with numbers printed (2 on a page) 0 -9 for new people or ones without magnetic numbers. Since I couldn't use #2 I was given 780 and using these was much easier and faster than creating number with tape, and it made it very easy for cornerworkers to read.

Hi Gang!

Just a little more info on El Toro Fields:

-The concrete is slurry sealed with asphalt so tire wear isn't to bad.
-Rental includes at least 2 to 3 miles of runway.We just don't use it all.
-Rental Rate $2,500 per day. Might get something better for two days.
-I have a good working relationship with the AMCI contact (They master lease the area we rent) and they really like the Porsche club since we don't leave a mess.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:)

OLD SCHOOL - Fewer tires on the gound = less resistance!

NEW SCHOOL - Need all the tires on the ground because the newer cars are so heavy! (Like 315's on 12.5 wide wheels)

Man was that "OLD SCHOOL" Factory Porsche / Gulf sponsored car FAST! Must have also had a "factory driver" at the wheel:)

Let me know if you need any info for a DE.

Have Fun! Steve Eguina

Thanks Steve! Yeah, factory driver...maybe the doughnut factory... :lol:

Anyway, started a new thread to see if we can't get a DE going out at El Toro.

Thanks a lot for the info!

That is indeed great imaging work, on a par with the "Cap't Neptune" and "Pumpkinhead Chris" photos of yore. :D

Note to self: Never, ever, piss off Martin on the forum...
