Glad to see it was a near miss and not another armco victim.



All the times running with the PCA, typically it isn't the old Porsches that are the problem. We used to provide the entertainment in the paddock with some form of DSM repair work underway while they pulled out their embroidered camp chairs.

haha, a lot of the guys came over to see what we were doin while this was goin on



I really did have a good time with the PCA guys, they were all super friendly. I will go back again for sure (just watch out for the spy-hunter on the track lol)

That's just like drifting, but stepping it up and trying to get the front bumper as close as possible.

Running with the Alfa club is a similar experince - just hoping some old beater doesn't spring a leak.... or a stock block EVO with 500 whp throwing a rod.

Good times.

There is a good group of us going with the Niagara Region PCA on October 10-11, in case you are looking for a return trip sooner than later. Beautiful time to go with the leaves changing and the cool weather.

you break it, you bought it

regular insurance does not cover HPDE's, however you can buy one-day track insurance for ~$125/day from ontrackinsurance.com
