“With some basic modifications, an oval course education, and an axe to grind, Sal took this Mustang and proved his naysayers wrong.”

Great article. Couldn’t help but think of your guitar pics when I read the axe to grind!

Sounds nice and strong. Didn't the guy in front like you, kept throwing dirt to keep you back.
There were 3 or 4 GT2 Porsche Cup Cars that showed up out of nowhere. Never saw them before.
No idea what was going on with them but I can tell you, those cars are fast.

As a Porsche Club member here, they have a habit of doing that.
Last weekend was a Marque Sports Car round that happened to be the day before the Porsche Club event.
Guess what, the buggers turn up in force. Suddenly the place looks like a factory race day.

My guess is that they were practicing for another event....
 
Fab, that could have been TKO Motorsports out of Reno, NV. Memo Gidley drives for them at times and the company owner is damn fast himself. They make some high tech stuff for Porsches, Vipers and other track beasts.
Wow, what a crazy amount of nasty Porsches showing up at that PCA track event down under. Motorsports Park Hastings has a PCA race weekend in June and it has a solid turnout, but impressive collection of fast Stuttgart Speedsters at that Australian track event.
 
Had to make this for a new project and thought I'd just leave this here....
(46 seconds...lol)

 
I could hear you cursing from beyond time and space, it's probably still bouncing around out in the ether.
I was definitely NOT happy....

Bribed the wrap guys with some green beer and got them to do your stripes between sessions. 🍻
No beer for you till the end of the day after you have kicked everyone's butt.
