Fatt

Yesterday was FATT at Summit Point, WV and I took the GT3 up for the day.
Went out in both Instructor sessions and passed everyone. Even caught up to another Instructor in a Porsche Turbo, but he didn't give me a point-by.
The GT3 is the most fun car I've ever had!!

Ahhh, so that was your car. I saw it up there parked near the classroom/registration. The Sharky pipe sounded great. You should look into radiator screens for the front, mine got banged up pretty bad from debris on the track.

Yep, that was me parked up by the classroom.
Good suggestion about the radiator screens.
Any recommendations on where to get them??

Was yours the white one?
What group were you in??

I'm a member of the Potomac PCA and have been certified to instruct for them, but haven't found the time to do it yet. Occasionally, Mrs. B and I go to the breakfasts.

Mr. B- I know Sharkwerks carries them and I believe GMG does as well. I was in 1b during the morning and was moved into 2.

Landjet, I was a member, just need to renew my membership. Expired a week or two ago. Hope to see you at the PCA track day as well!

Yours was the white GT3. I meant to get into your car to instruct, but someone beat me to it.
Thanks for the info about the radiator screens.

Porsche knows these cars will be track driven.
Wonder why they didn't provide radiator screens themselves.

I've never timed myself at an HPDE, only at SCCA races in my 1999 Civic Si racecar.

We do use the cargraphic ones but if any of you are good at DIY it's certainly something that can be a fun Saturday project. Remove the front bumper. Go to Home Depot/Lowes etc... and just pick some screen mesh you like and cut it to fit/form in between the bumper to protect the radiators and yer' done
