Spent 2 days with the Porsche club at Thunderhill. Loved it. Precious few open laps but had a great time. This is the first club I've driven that really wants you to be a faster driver.

Pulled a 2:11. I was on a good one at 2:00 flat exiting the last turn but a slower car was in my way and had to slow. it takes a little less then 10 seconds to get to the Start/Finish from the last corner. Drat!!

Gonna be on R compounds next time I'm there and hope to officially break 2:10. I'll miss the Direzzas.

This is some slower laps playing around with some very cool Porsches. BTW. The guy in the brand new GT3 RS has only had the car for a week and he was at the track driving as hard as he could. Very cool.

Jan! Hey! Pleasure chasing you around the track ( Pete in the RS). I am just calling you Mr. Fast...

Love your video. You probably told me but I forgot you were shooting vid. I remember the Vimeo discussion.

Take care my friend, it was a pleasure sharing a paddock with you.

Looks like fun!

What's your take on your StopTech BBK? Until now I was rather considering Brembo or AP Racing, but have no particular bias.

Hey Pete, Thanks. Will respond to your email.

Th StopTechs are great to me but I have nothing to compare them to. They seem to offer the most value in a BBK. Brembos seem to offer the least and I don't know about AP Racing. With that said, those are all great brake brands.

Cool shots. That RS looks awesome.

You can't even believe how cool they. You gotta get up close. I have never wanted a Porsche more.

Laguna always seems to bring out the high end 911's. Very cool.

My friend is racing a GT3 in the World Challenge GT class this year.

The Porsche Club here (Houston) does a great job with its DE's. I've done one in my (unfortunately) plain jane 911 and I tried to do one in the 335. Unfortunately, the power steering pump seized before I got to do any hot laps. My instructor did get a few laps in it before it broke. I thought you might enjoy his comment. Said as he was passing one: "You won't have any trouble with Boxsters in this car."

The Porsche club here has many other types of cars participating in its DE's. Friendly welcoming people, even when I did show up with a BMW. Getting a slot can be difficult because the events sell out quickly, but if you get the chance . . . .

I might be willing to kill for a GT3. Doesn't even have to be a RS.

I enjoyed your video.

It was the most fun I have had at the track and I have been about 40 times. Sorry to hear about your 335. I hope it's working now.

I know what you mean. Messing with Porsches on a track is about as good as it gets, especially if you can surprise them a bit. I've done a couple of track days in the 335 since that first failure. The pace of the car has impressed several fellow participants.
