Hampton Downs Expression Event

Fellow Kiwi Pelicans:

check out the link below for an upcoming track event at Hampton Downs (no association with me), would be good to see a bunch of 911s there

Chrome - Expression Session

Had an awesome weekend at Hampton Downs - fantastic event! Cars were allowed on track in groups, no speed limits, no helmets required with passengers allowed! Only restriction was no racing into corners - out of corners and on the straights it was all on!

Was really impressed with how my old targa performed - so much faster out of corners than most cars there, even really powerful modern ones. Lack of power was evident going uphill on the main straight, however top speeds were comparable to much more powerful cars due to higher entry speed.

Only saw one other 911 on the track: mostly rotaries, muscle cars, drifters and imports.. everyone had a blast though:

Always wondered if the cars manufactured in the US look odd compared to the cars made in OZ. Strange question, but inquiring mind wants to know.

Looks like fun. I like those "every man and his dog" type events. We have a few at Manfield but this looks like even more fun. I haven't watched driftcar racing in real life so I would have particularly enjoyed that.
