I had a great weekend, definately feeling a bit Jet-Lagged.

The only car, IMHO to possibly surpass it in terms of looks is the Murcealago, which of course is not a performance vehicle like the Supra or GT2.

OK, I'm kind of embarassed as I ran a 10.0. I think if I had played with the tire pressure I could have broken into the 9s. The car currently has stage 2 tuning. Still had a blast. Not as much fun as the road course event, but close. Here are vids:

One thing that did impress me about the Supras, however, was that there were several that ran really well on the MSR track. I had always been (misinformed, apparently) of the opinion that they were only highway pull monsters. Now I want one.

MVP Motorsports and the rest of the TX2K7 organizers definantly appreciate all you Porsche guys coming to our event, it's a pleasure having you!
See you next year, maybe in a Supra?

Kevin

Nick is so low key and laid back....you don't notice him until he blows by you and you struggle, usually unsuccessfully, to catch him.
Chris (Roadsterdoc) you have nothing to be embarased about: the conditions were very windy and you walked the walk.

Agreed. Nick is as cool as they come. He first introduced me to the rear view of his Supra a couple of years ago, late at night on 288 south.
Thanks for the encouragement...I found out that my time is decent: faster than a stock 996TT, Gallardo, 360CS, and Murcielago. But in Sunday's company it seemed dog slow!
