Remember one of the first times I saw Tanner Foust. He was doing a supercar shoot out. They were going one on one thru a course that had an ese, curve, then log straight. They had all kinds of cars and most of them tunered. They had ask one guy to bring his Carrera GT, instead he brought what looked like a stock 911 Turbo. He was the only one that wouldn't let them see under the hood and refused to tell them about it. All he only made two comments about it. He brought it instead of the Carrera GT because he didn't want to bring a knife to a gun fight and it was his grocery getter that his elderly Mom drove to the store. Tanner rapped on a fender and made the comment that he thought it was carbon fiber even though the Turbo looked totally stock.

When it came to the race is was down to this guy and a 9ff tuned turbo 911. They had shown the 9ff as beating just about everything by a couple of car lengths. Through the twist bits they were pretty evenly matched which was pretty fast. But when it came to the straight this guy' Turbo left the 9ff like it was standing stil. He crossed the line before the 9ff got halfway down the straight. Very very impressive.

The 928 guys are having a gathering in Rockport TX this weekend. They call it the Spring Fling. Part of the weekend's festivities is to go to the Texas Mile races happening this weekend. Because a lot of the people get bored watching they have started adding other activities of tours, a museum, an aquarium, antiquing (for the wives), off shore fishing, and a local gun range. Think most people really go for the Friday and Saturday evening dinners followed by the parking lot after parties at the hotel. They are a fun group. Most meet up in the Dallas area and drive down and back together.

If the GTS were running I would be there.
