NoVA gang at the track again.

I figured someone would have posted this by now, but I guess not. Anyway, we had a killer DE at Summit Point this past weekend. It super hot and APKhaos saved the day with a great canopy tent. I went through 9 jugs of Gatorade in two days. I spun into the grass on my first run, but did fine for the rest of the weekend. Won some money at the Charles Town slots, got in a lot of quality down time with the gang in the paddock and came away with an even greater level of confidence in myself and my 993.



Here's a shot of our un-clique.



Here's Doug E's SC next to my baby.




And here's a car that handed my a$s to me on the straights.

A stock 993? Me? Are you kidding? I wrote the book on how to piss money away on gratuitous mods for cars that are perfect right out of the box.

I have FabSpeed MaxFlows, 996 MY02 wheels, euro tail and front signal lenses, drilled airbox, Rennline pedals, RS shifter, H&R springs, Steve Wong strut brace and....going on in the next few weeks are Big Reds, Bilstein HD's, solid motor mounts and RS heater bypass tube. After I sell my house a G50/21, LWF and RS clutch will be going in.

The NoVaDC Gang was well represented. I had a great time. I can't type enough to describe the fun and how much I learned.

Till next time...

Hot weekend alright! Tony's canopy tent sure saved our bacon, vs. sizzling it. It was great seeing so many of the NoVA gang at Summit Point. Can't wait for Watkins Glen.

Looks like an awesome day at the track. Too bad I missed out on the fun. I'm registered for Shenandoah Circuit on 7/24.

Hopefully it'll be done in time. Based on what I saw, they've still got some work to do. I hear that a go/no-go decision is coming up shortly concerning that event and track readiness.

My rear was in the air so that I could change brake pads....but I made sure to keep an eye on the rear. Never know when these guys might sneak up on you

No way is the Shenandoah Cir. gonna be done. I don't think it'll ever be done. It's a conspiracy. Wasn't there supposed to be a DE there last summer or fall?

Hey Adomakin, when you visit the US, we'll probably have some garage party going on here and you're welcome to attend. I know I have plenty of projects coming up for my modless and maint-free car.

Seriously, looks like everyone had a great time.
