Yesterday I took the car for a long drive to see one of the best body men in the business. John Esposito’s in North Hollywood.
It was a 2 hour drive each way and the car ran great. John is very knowledgeable regarding all aspects of Porsche paint and body. His shop was full of the best 911s that one could imagine. He also has a 1 year waiting list and has over 40 cars in various states of repair. It was a beautiful sight to see. John is a great teacher and loves to share knowledge. Although we had never met before, he went out of his way to show me everything and answer any question I had.

I spent the weekend at the racetrack with the POC for the season opener.

The only change we made during the offseason was a move to a larger tail. Gone is the 75/76 Carrera tail; it was replaced by a proper IROC wing with Gurney Flap (2" wicker). The tail swap was worth 3 seconds a lap and helped me break into the 20s at Big Willow with a personal best of 1:29.

The tail was donated to me by a friend from another shop after I helped him clear out some of his old junk (read: sell off his super cool, super rare vintage parts), the Gurney Flap was fabbed up by Rod Emory in his very, very limited spare time, and the tail was painted and fit by the guys at John Esposito's shop. Everyone chipped in to help make the 505 go a little bit faster ... and it worked.

But despite the fact that 505 was going faster it seems the competition got faster in the offseason as well. The top qualifying time in the GT3 class was 1:22 ... 1:22!!!! Average lap times during the race were in the 1:24s for the race leaders ... I couldn't manage better than a 1:30 average at race pace (except the 1:29 flyer). I ended up 4th or 5th in class during Saturday's races, but I pulled a rabbit out of my hat and chalked up a 3rd in today's race. Points is points.

I gave up on I&O - hormone/antibiotic meat - "American" cheese (whatever that is) too bad
