If you've never been to an all Porsche DE before...

I thought this video clip might motivate anyone who hasn't attended an all-Porsche track event before. I apologize in advance, the file is in Real Player format and is HUGE (13 meg!)

So, hurry up and download it before everyone in the office is surfing porn and slowing down your connection...

http://www.momentarylaps.com/videos/thunderhillvideo.rm

This was inspired by Matt Holcombs video of his 2.7 shakedown. I've taken so much video from inside the car, his video clip egged me on to shoot some from outside the car. Car #908 is my wife driving at Thunderhill Park in Willows, CA this past Sunday morning.

Enjoy!

Dean

What run group was that? Were you also running the car? I think you may have been in Green with me. #605, White '90 C2.

Kurt - It was the White run group in the video. Yes, I was running as #908 in Green. I think I remember your car. Are you in Lm? I think you passed me near the end of a session on Saturday and were in between myself and #60 - Dave Leong - in the early 911, white with blue stripes over the top.

Was that you? What a great freakin' weekend after such doomsday weather reports...

That was, in fact, me. It's a '90 C2 in Lm. Turned out to be fantastic conditions despite the weather report. Too bad we didn't get timed runs in, as the weather pretty much missed us even on Sunday afternoon. Are you going to Buttonwillow?

But of course! It'll be my first time at Buttonwillow. I'm excited to run there. Any advice? Hank Watts was telling me that you never really get to even finish a turn by the time you're already setting up for the next - you're pretty much busy all the time.

I'd appreciate anything you can suggest that'll help get me oriented.

Thanks,

Dean

Wish I could help, but it will actually be my first time to Buttonwillow as well, so perhaps we can help each other ferret out the line.

Great video! I don't mean to be picky, but... is there any chance that you could put up a version without the music. I just love hearing the engine sounds by themselves.
