Good morning folks.

At the super speedway in Charlotte, NC I managed to pass a genuine GT2 on track. Really. I will admit the wife was driving but she was no slouch. So I have passed a GT2 on track!

That is the track where I hit the highest speed in my 911. Way up in the 5,000 RMP range. The track is only about 6 feet wide there, as I remember. Somehow the pros can drive at 200 MPH three abreast. It must be part of the speed vortex that warps space and time. It was surreal hearing the instructor say whatever you do, don't hit the brakes as we were hurtling towards the banked corner at triple digit speeds. I was a pussy and lifted the throttle. Then after the corner I have to stand on the brakes and slow down to about 50 to get back on the infield and start another lap with a huge grin on my face. It is burned in my brain how loud the engine and wind noise is screaming along at 5K+ in 5th.
