Good meeting you thedreamer.

Sorry we never got a run in! Had the car good to go shortly after you left.
Ended up going against the turbo s2k which was a waste of time and the twin turbo v12 merc. Can't remember the model.

Was a better match up, but it would have been nice to get a shot at the Z.

Good meeting you, your boxter s would have had me. I got to play with the vette and he pulled me once we got to 4th, guess it is time for more power.

Had a 40th anniversary next to me in traffic on Jupiter, just north of Plano Parkway today around 5:00. Exchanged waves with the driver.. Great looking Z you got there!

Damn I was really hoping you'd get him. That vette was really fast though so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I wanted to see that race pretty bad actually and I never had a chance to hear your car either, really.

I permanently fixed the shifter issue on the boxster s so if you want to meet up another time we can just for fun.

*At the track of course!

The nylon bushing that holds the shifter onto the shift linkage was worn and a piece broke off it. I super glued it back on and ordered the 997 shifter assembly. Apparently it's a known problem for 996's.
It was good after that when I ran the cl65 and turbo s2k. I think you would have had both those cars and mine from a roll.

That vette was nasty but the guy could not drive at all.
