I know of 6 people with GT35 on there 996 turbos or will have them placed prior to Tx2K ... hmm are you the 7? I hope everyone makes it out to Tx2K! Once again, if there is any housing shortage, I will allow those few unfortunate to crash at my place.

After buying my tires/wheels, I will need to stay in the castle. Please reserve
my space. No GT35R's for me, I just sold the turbos I bought from Scott (GT30R's),
as they (and the motor build required to have REAL fun with them)did not fit my budget presently (or as KPG would say, Mama won't let me).


I estimate that I only need about 250 of your 7500 SQ/FT.

You can have real fun with them, but there is always a CHANCE it can explode.. Regardless it's still a ticking time bomb... eeek!!!!!

Regarding Mama, haven't you figured it out that breaking something is the easiest pathway to acheive an upgrade?

MDB - the 60 to 130 event is PAY AT THE GATE with no limit of cars! You will absolutely be able to participate, no problem. You can still sign up for the Road Racing/Driver's Education as well!

Jamie,

Me and my bro Peter will both be there with our TT's. His car will be making the same or even more power than mine, but will remain AWD.

Win or lose, I can't wait to run that beast of yours.
