Tim Comeau Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Looks like we have 10 944's racing, plus some HPDE drivers, plus some 944 street drivers showing up just to watch! Come watch the 944 Spec guys and have dinner with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Doc Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Tim, that's great to hear. Sounds like you guys are getting some momentum back in SoCal! It is a fun track - fastest I've ever gone in a 924/44! Wish I could be out there again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbuzz Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 No doubt about that Erik. it is the fastest track in the country for a 944spec. You will find out in a hurry what condition your engine is in. If it is soft at all it just will not pull the RPMs in 5th gear. And drafting is very important here. If you drop off the cars in front of you it can cost you 10 car lengths.

944-Spec#94 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 No doubt about that Erik. it is the fastest track in the country for a 944spec. And drafting is very important here. If you drop off the cars in front of you it can cost you 10 car lengths. I remember hitting 6000 rpm in 5th catching a draft of a Honda a few years back. That calcuated to 132 mph and I maintained that speed all the way around turn 1 and turn 2 banking. In clean air best I could get too was 5800 rpm in 5th. Even so you have a good handling car that can trail brake well to get a good lap time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Al F. Posted August 9, 2011 Members Share Posted August 9, 2011 A few years ago there I found my windshield wiper motor couldnt overcome the air so the wiper just sort of fluttered half way down the windshield. That was in a cmc camaro, not a 944, but lots of good crazy stuff happens at Fontana, like going 130+ in the rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
