    Guess who thinks these old cars are more fun than Cup Cars????

    This guy! In fact, he was talking about buying one after driving/racing my car these last three days at Chuckwalla Raceway (HSR/VARA season ender).

    Haha. No John, I have video that is priceless. Plus he gave me and Neil (1967 911S 2.0L) tons of cool goodies for letting him drive our two cars.

    Our times (Both have never driven the track, but same car/tires)

    Friday- Me 2:05, Patrick 2:03.9
    Sat- Me 2:01.7, Patrick 1:57.7!!!! (on the the first lap of the Saturday race!) the video is awesome.
    I only ran the car Sunday, but I broke the shift coupler on lap 3 or 4 in the race. I got a 2:00. I would of for sure been in the 1:59's or even a 1:58 with his awesome help if the car did not break.
    (Patrick jumped into my buddy's 67 911S 2.0L for the Sunday practice session and got a 2:02.X if I remember correctly)
    Thanks,
    Chad

    If the vids are anything like the last time he drove your car I'm already on the edge of my seat. And in HD too!

    What a great thing to have a true professional enjoying your car.

    Are you by any chance going to be at the last POC event of the year at Willow Springs (big track) on the first weekend of December? I still have not met you, only seen your car in the pits once.
