VIR is a really fast track. I have not been there in three years. Let's plan on riding together at Road Atlanta the next time we're there at the same time.

With Jenk in the 997 GT3, you must be in the market for a 997 GT3 RS.
I dont like Roebling, there arent any real turns, just a bunch of sweepers, that's agravating to me. I wouldnt mind it but it's certainly not in my list of places I'd like to go. I'd rather go to several tracks before I go back there.

Will do, when are you gonna be at RA again?

Nah, I love my turbo, even though drving that GT3 was intoxicating, I have my car fitting just right for me. This wont be a club race car (and wouldnt be if it were a GT3 either) , so for time trials and blasting quick laps it does the trick for me, I want a wheel to wheel race car that I can bump up a bit.

I would consider a east coast location but it will very dependent on next years world challenge schedule.

If we (the series) is out on the east coast I would bring the rig up with the race cars..

But again this is if and thats a big if the series is back at that time.

Again, I think a meet somewhere in the middle of the country is best.

I"d suggest we keep this an "eastcoast" effort, and maybe encourage one of our westcoast brothers to pull together something similar... I know more than about 8 hours of towing and you can stick a fork in me...

Yeah, I agree, although it would be great to get sponsors involved. I'd be open to both but for sheer numbers, the best bet is going to be the way we have it now. I'm sure we could get some of the east coast sponsors to help out too. And since this event will be in the spring, I say we have a centralized summer meet in texas for those who rally would travel far. I'd be at both. So we'd end up with something that suits everyone.

We can change the track each year on the East Coast and they can do the same on the West Coast and then we have one big meet in the middle somewhere in the summer time. That sounds like the best plan to me.

Is this open to Porsches only? I know my dad would love to be there (997 4S) but I'd really like to attend as well (STi). Oh, and my vote is for VIR, I love that track. If we could do the Grand East configuration that would be awesome.

Not in my opinion it doesnt have to be, as long as we have lots of Porsches I'm good.
