That's a bit pointless Richard... you know just as well as i do, that lace doesn't absorbs grease, sauce and beer spills.

Slowed down a bit after that and enjoyed the day.
Racing against all the new M3s and GTRs, for the first time the 930 felt like an old car, not slow, but old.
The brakes on the modern cars are awesome.
Still beat alot of the new cars and all of the older ones.
I have come to see just how under tyred my car is.
A situation I will sort out over the next few months.
Anyhow, that was that.
Back to the same track in two weeks, then a break for winter and some mods to the car.
The great thing with Porsches is the fact that I can drive 2 hours to the track ,drive like a crazy man all day, then drive 2 hours home.
All in a 32 year old car.
A credit to the guys that made our cars back in the day.
As long as you had fun. That is what it is all about.

Good morning folks. We did get a wake up in the middle of the night. The tornado sirens were screaming. The tornado passed several miles north of us. The sirens go off county wide which is stupid. 720 square mile county and the corner of the county has a storm so everyone gets to hear it.

Vas I love driving my 37 year old 911 across the country 1,4000 miles and run at a track after spending a week driving my car on local roads. Load up and drive home. I have 142,000 miles on a very stock 911. I got a ride at the track in a new Caymin R and it amazing how much faster a modern car is. The car is just a ton faster than mine. I could spend the price difference on my car and still not be that fast. But that new car is a disposable car. It will not be on a track in 35 years in any sort of stock condition.

I just use whatever is handy, not what is the most absorbent, I am a man.

I leave my dirty socks laying around so I will have something to take the light bulb to the next room with me.

Smoldering rope, man we never had it that good, we had to rub our hands together until they caught on fire to light something. Our hands were tough not like the kids today with lotion and cremes all the time!

The Harris Bipod worked fine today, very happy with it.
So now i clamped the stock in my vice, slapped some FG epoxy in the area where hte swivel stud has it's base plate, so the wood get's some extra support in that area ...

Then i mounted the harris, and tightened it up so the base plate is pulled into the FG epoxy... Now i wait....

Turning it into a hammer then. As in drive nails with it at long range.
