First trip to the track in over 3 years

It was definitely an experience. I came there with cynical thoughts being that i'm out in the desert and it's rare to see sports cars, much less porsches. To my surprise out of the 30 cars there at this open road race day, there were 7 porsches that i counted. One of which was a gutted, and i mean gutted, 74 911 with a carburated 3.0, fiberglass body, roll cage from safety devices, and a large fuel cell up front for endurance racing. It also just so happend to be owned by the driving instructor of the track. Other than his car, there were 2 914/6's, and a 944 doing DE. Plus, when the racers came out appearantly racing in small, front engined rear wheel racing, there were 3 944's on the grid, with 3 old rx7's fully race prepped, and two miata's also fully race prepped. All the rest of the cars were either full race cars, or small open wheel race cars. Not bad, not bad at all, i think i'm going to have to fix my damn trans and get out there. Who am i kidding, i know i'll be there, i'm hooked again.
