Final standing from BRR event #1:

3rd out of 4 in D-Stock
30th out of 100 in PAX
55th out of 100 in Raw Time

http://www.brr-scca.org/Results/03112007.htm

A few more pics taken from the event-





Looking ahead...
It was nice to take the weekend off from autoX, and I spent the time with my family and catching up on some much needed rest. My wife and I took our 3.5yr old son to the DC Zoo yesterday had a blast. We met up with my younger brother & his g/f afterwards and had lunch. He's doing much better and is healing nicely - the weight of worrying about his well-being after the accident is finally starting to lift off my shoulders...

Next weekend, I've signed up for the 3/25 WDCR test & tune event to co-drive my friend Shawn's nationally prepped STS2 Miata (in '06 Shawn won the Devens Nat'l Tour event, and finished 12th at Solo Nat'ls in Topeka).

They were a couple at the first event:

'78 911


'06 Cayman S


'98 Porsche Boxster


We also had Jeff Underwood (Instructor at VIR Raceway) compete in his B-Mod Caterham 7 (which uses a Yamaha R1 engine):





And there was also a Lotus Elise...

Ya mean kinda like that 928 that we trounced at GRM 06 challenge? It sure made for some good pictures on the course with the camera set at 1/60th seconds. Not a bit of blurring!

Chike,
I'm in the same run group! Now if I can just get the tab on the strut housing rewelded (pulled the tire and the "big bar" had put enough pressure on the stock tab to snap it in half )...

Yeah good luck with that one. I wasn't real successful welding with oil in the strut. It just wanted to stay cool kinda like trying to sweat a pipe with water in the line. I think I have a couple spares in the basement that you could just swap housings with.

Hehe, our electric vehicle team might bring our gorgeous custom '86 widebody 911. At least it is now all a nice orange primer color.



lol

(That actually would be me driving it last October.)

Ben,
Thanks for the offer. Sean was able to weld the stock tabs back on when I ripped both the DS and PS tabs off last year. We're going to go with some 1/8" plate with a 7/16" hole this time so the end link won't be able to move around like it can with the stock tab.
I'm definitely thinking about working over another set of housings with beefed up tabs from the start (i.e. before putting the Koni inserts into them )
-Bill

Chike, the Cayman is just sex on wheels. I like it better then just about any 911, except of course the new 911 GT3 RS. HOT! Post one up for me bud.

Typo, typos, typos. Fixed it for ya! Still I'll take a similar yeared 944 over a 911 for a track car anyday. Wait, we beat up on one in a lowly SVX this past year. He finished 3rd out of 3 in class!

Ya coming down to Reading this year Dan?

I'm going to try, but I might be Porsche-less. The 968 was the best auto-x car Porsche ever made, but far to little of them. Well, unless you get your hands on a 1200+hp 962!

I'd take a well sorted 914-6 with a Xt6 engine in the back over the the 968 for an autox, on a track it wouldn't compete but handling wise in a sorted state it would give a run for the money. 1200hp on an autox course would be about 800 of useless noise!

Glad to see you'll try to be down!

1200 would be overkill, but imagine the rush! A 750hp 935 would be cool. I used to have a link to a 914 with a Chevy 350 crate motor.
