Interesting picture.  And I was looking at a 944 Turbo over the weekend.  But it was $16k!  Pass.

I think my plan is to drag the developed LMP360 down.  That is assuming we are doing a FIRM trackday again. 

I will run it at the challenge Autox..  I'm not sure I would throw it down the Dragstrip as it would have ~300whp then.   That would get to spicy for me I think.  

If no Firm trackday I will figure something out.

The hotel is looking forward to hosting us again, but right now they're still in the process of setting up our room block. If you want to book now, I'd suggest giving them a call rather than trying to book online, they might be able to set you up.

I am hoping to come down and be out-of-budget with my courier or my Datsun. Courier seems more likely. Hopeful to bring an actual challenge car in 26 or 27 again. 

You'll need to log in to post.
