Local PCA and such-
 

Two cool things happened Saturday for me:

First, I went to my first PCA event in over 2 years, which was a really nice gathering of many local members for at a great picnic\activities happening. There was more food than we could eat, and some outdoor games, and LOTS of Porsche talk! Then we compared cars and ideas too! Very nice time; thanks to the members of the Roadrunner PCA Club in New Mexico- Early next month will be the next autocross, and I plan to run it for the first time with this newer car, wish me luck!

Secondly upon a suggestion learned there, I removed the sound deadening and insulation from the back seat area of my Targa, Whoa Nellie- there must have been over 50lbs. of crap back there for me to lose!! I had no idea that it weighed so much!
I'm adding lightness everywhere I can on this car, and this was a gold mine for me. I've already shed the A\C, most of the junk from my dash area, put in lightweight racing seats, and more, but this will help a lot.

Sounds like you had a great time, Rick. Regarding the weight savings, do we have another thown_hammer on our hands? :D

Good luck with your upcoming AX and tell us how it went!

Shawn is not the only one that likes a good lightweight.

Ri-i-i-ight! Your car is kind of anorexic, too, right Jamie. :)

Yeah, I'm hoping to keep the car looking nice on the outside, but stripped on the inside. I'm thinking hard about what to do with the doors right now...:)
I know the whaletail weighs a lot, but I really like the look!
I will certainly post a thread after my run next month!
