Porsche Museum

It has been settled. I am going to the New Porsche Museum on Sunday, July 12! I went there last year, but it was the old museum with only 20 cars and a small shop. Thank you Under Armour for sending me to Germany for so many photo shoots! Pics and video to come.

2009 Autocross #2

I did very well this past autocross:

17 of 38.

3.990 sec. off the pace (2008 Cayman S, heavily modified).

Very pleased.

Here is a VIDEO of one of my runs (not the best as you can see)

Monaco III

I want one, Tag Heuer, Monaco III.

Check out the cool commercial for this. I am pretty sure the result is spot on.

2009 - CHS PCA AutoX #2 - Dorsey MARC Station

Had a great day yesterday at the autocross! I think I had some competitive times. I was definitely running like a madman (in my own mind). The car felt great... I think I'll need to get some new shocks... and one day invest in wheels and tires.

I'll post times as soon as they are posted.

CHECK OUT THE VIDEO

Cool Porsche Spec. Commercial

Thanks for sending this over Matt. Really cool video.

Autocross

I am looking forward to Autocrossing this weekend. It could be raining, which will be interesting. Stay tuned.

it's been a long time...

It has been quite a while since I have updated this. Damn, since before I did the DE at NJMP, in October!

Summary of the DE event at NJMP:

Day 1:
My Instructor was Gregg Wilson... great guy, great instructor.
My car performed well, except that it was overheating (230°+), ugh. So I could only stay out on track 2/3rds of each session. Got the 911 up to 110mph in the straights.

Day 2:
I got the 911 up to 116mph in the straights! What a difference a day makes.

After the 1st session I was signed off to drive solo... at my first DE! I was stoked... then I got on the track alone and totally froze up. I was getting passed left and right. It made a huge difference being in the car alone with out any instruction or confirmation that I was doing the right or wrong things.

I got off the track and went to talk to Gregg, he told me me that it was natural to freeze up like that the 1st time out alone. Then he said, he signed me off because he trusted that I would do great on track alone.

3rd session was a different story, with a new confidence, I went out there and made some passes myself. that final session was amazing and I had such a great time. Thanks to my great instructor, Gregg Wilson of Annapolis Porsche and my hot engined 911SC.

I Can't Wait!

In 16 hours I will leave for the DE (Drivers Education) event at Thunder Bolt Raceway at New Jersey Motorsports Park.

I washed the car, packed my box full of car stuff, and soon will pack my bag. I can't wait to see how fast I can get on the straight away. Photos and commentary to come.
