Best day to drive a 930

[Amac]

Today I left the lexus at home and fired up the 84 930.
Here in Dallas it was cool and cloudy, perfect turbo weather.
On my way to the office I see a juiced up mustang in front of
me at the Toll booth with a sticker that said "When was the last
time you chased a ford". Needless to say the race was "on".
This car was mildly quick, but I'm running fuel pumps with more
HP. Made short work of this guy, He was nice and waved.
Feeling good and enjoyed the rest of my drive to the office.
I had a lunch appt. down town so I'm back on the tollway.
Next I have a 2ooo Porsche TT with a real ass driving it.
It had a few Mods but the driver had no skill and was racing me
at 140hph on his cell phone. Kicking his a$$ put a smile on my face. On my way back to the office a real nasty looking supra
turbo pulls up and wants to dance, "is this my lucky day or what".
This guy was a great driver and a lot harder to beat, this car would be very hard to beat on a standing 1/4 mile. This guy was
also very nice, waved and gave me a thumbs up.
So far this has been great day, and I still have the drive home.
(Maybe I should quit while I'm ahead)

Good day to quit while you're ahead!

It only takes one sneaky cop to make 140+ a real bad idea.

I usually run the mountain early on weekend days. Decided to do it this evening because I'll be out of town this weekend on business. There was traffic on the hill and I was only able to safely pass on the double yellow one time - and you guessed it - as I rounded a corner at tripple the posted speed the man in blue met me oncoming. I cringed even though I knew he couldn't turn around. Went straight home and put 'er away.

It's a jungle out there!

As an update, no action on the way home.
Put her in the garage, wiped her down and
let her tell her red sister the hole story.

Blue, stainless, yellow pagid, monoblocks,
13"Xdrill.
I do 2 or 3 events at Texas motor speedway,
PCA and a charity event "laps for Kids".
I did average 157 on the oval, but I like driving
the road course much better.
I never race these guys in traffic, I do it as safe
as I can. (ie; lots of room, strait hwy, racing harness)
I'm hoping to grow out of this speed thing!!!

157? You must start getting a bit of "tunnel vision" at that speed....

Speed doesn't kill, -ΔV/(t=0) kills
