Anyone still tracking their air-cooled 911?

Track my '86 every summer since '06. Awesome fun.
Only damage came from loading it on a trailer once I stopped driving it to the track...

Yep! Still tracking... but it's been lonely out there without other air cooled's the past few years. With continuous rising valuations and cheaper, more powerful options available (Caymans, Camaro ZL1's, Vette's) available for track work, I get why there's been such a decline in the classics.

When people ask me why I don't abandon tracking my classic for a more modern track weapon, my response is the same: "Anyone can go fast in a modern car (stability controls, electronic nanny's, etc,.) but not everyone can drive fast in a slow car. Which one do you think is more fun to drive? "

Right on, man. I've had more modern cars on track and yes, they're faster and it's easier to extract the most from their potential, but the old 911 with the wibbly-wobbly chassis and fat sidewalled tires is way more fun as it scrubs its way hither and thither across the track.

I tracked my 993 C2S until I sold it. Guys called me nuts but I loved driving that car.

I'm still tracking my 51-year-old jalopy. Love every minute of it.
