Default Where is everyone?

Is this site just a place to mash the right pedal and go straight?

You know, that is what trains do. Just mash the gas. Steering input is not necessarily needed.

No kidding. I just signed up for a Porsche Club event at VIR for Oct. 7. We'll be running the full course this time, 3.27 miles.

I'll be driving the TA amongst all the Porsches.

I am working on getting a video capture card. Hopefully by then I will have figured out how to use it. Maybe I'll post some video.

I'm going to be at VIR on the 7th also. Some of my friends will be running their Vettes.
I found a video of a full lap at VIR. That place looks like a ton of fun!!

Cool links, Beth.

Brandon, good luck getting the capture card setup - I'd love to get a copy of that vid!
