You guys are funny. Thanks everyone. Proof you do not need the newest cars to have just as much fun!

Kevin- I have a Duck on it now. So I guess i'm kinda cheating. haha. I'll post another quick video of the GT3RS spinning out in front of me, getting all dirty. He was trying really hard at the end of the session to stay ahead of me. I pointed him by because my tires were so darn hot. Plus, I wanted to watch that sweet car in action.

David- thanks for the comments. If you want to get into racing, you will need to get a license from whatever group you want to race with. I'm sure they may take into consideration your previous experience, but you will still need to be a rookie with a "provisional" license I imagine. The POC has a great license program at great tracks. It's all Porsches, so you will be hanging out with like minded individuals.

As for the tires, since I was just playing around that day, I was using flat spotted/old Hoosier R6's. I typically get about 15 heatcycle$ out of them. I figure each time I go out on the track, it costs me $85 in tires, and $60 in gas for 30 min....... Once you get to the end of their life, they become practice tires. I wish I could use new (Different) rubber, but Hoosier is the only show in town with my 15 inch rims (245/50 and 275/50).
