comatb Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Ernie and I raced our 944 Spec cars at Hyperfest last weekend and I would like to express out thanks to Dave Deracola and all of the 944 Cup and Super Cup drivers for welcoming us to their home track. There were three sessions on track each day and I was faster each time out, but not fast enough to compete head to head with the fastest Cup Cars. The consensus was 'Gee I didn't think you guy would be this fast'. A compliment to the 944 Spec cars....I think. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Quote
PeanutinCA Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Hey, I 'think' my wife's cousin is doing a day at Summit Point in July, Monday 23rd I think it is? But, he just sold his 911, or at least he was saying it was sold? Any 944 rentals (Spec or Cup) at Summit point? I need to check it out further..... Yeah, I'm sure it's Summit point, Monday 23rd with Ferrari Maserati of Washington. Huh, that's funny. Anyone running with them on that Monday? I am tentatively scheduled to go out with them for the day (there for business in conjunction with the track day). Anyone, anyone? Any 944 track rentals? Any rentals at the track? Any suggestions if he actually has sold his car? Thanks, Dylan. Quote

Dylan: If was a Cup race weekend, think I could find u a 944 ride. Dont know anyone close enough to do a one day during week.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Bill: Glad you and Ernie got to race with us at Summit. You're both welcome to join us anytime. More good drivers are always a plus to the series. Quote

Reposted from 944 Cup forum: ".... extracted the video from Sundays race and clipped down the size a little. Look for the Mantis Sport guys who ran in front of me the whole race. Yes, those SP1's are fast and these Canadians like to race close. Hope to see them again soon. Enjoy! Evan #17" http://video.google.com/videop...85543 Quote
comatb Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 Dave and Evan, I will be at the NASA Mid-Ohio races in mid July and August. I hope some of the Cup guys will be there as it is great fun running with a large group of 944's turning similar times. Evan thanks for posting the video. I don't have a camera, so your 'behind the scenes' view is great. Quote

Bill: The August date at Mid Ohio is a 944 Cup NorthEast Chapter event, so will have a good number of 944's for that event. Looks like you're getting a leg up on the West Coast boys for the Nationals. NE Schedule: http://northeast.44cup.com/images/schedule.html Quote
ernie j Posted June 30, 2007 Posted June 30, 2007 I will there with Bill but with my Cayman S in GTS4. The 2 SPEC-1 cars are rented out in Canada with the Porsche Club. Too bad, wanted a rematch with Bill. Enjoyed Hyperfest , a great bunch of peolpe. Quote

Of course, I need all the help I can get! We are making changes to my car in search of better handling. Quote

PeanutinCA Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I'm building a 944 Cup and I'm accusing myself of cheating! Please give me an inspection!!! Quote
Tim Comeau Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Christ! What does the Race Director look like, Dave?! Quote
Bill Addy Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Dammit! Are you guys trying to trick me into racing again ? Quote
944 cup Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 Our tech inspections became so popular that weekend, we had other model Porsches posing as 944's just to get a once over. Here is one of the Assistant Stewards checking out the aero package of one of the interlopers. Quote

comatb Posted July 20, 2007 Author Posted July 20, 2007 I now realize why the pro drivers all wear cool shirts. It's for the umbrella girls! I was very HOT on the grid at Hyperfest, before the race had even started. Quote

comatb Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 Dave is there any way to get these 'tech' inspectors to the Nationals? I could definately get some crew for the event if you can swing it. Quote
