[white911]

Novice group, 1A or 1B? How often do you get out there? If you don't have an instructor already, let me know and we can hook up.

I'll see you there. I generally park by pit out and get there very early because I have to cross the Wilson Bridge, so I try to make that around 6:00 and if I time everything right it puts me at the track really early.

I should be close enough to break-in miles. Seriously I decided to replace the Boxster S (DD) after taking the Audi to instructor appreciation day. Although it did not have a lot of power, it was a blast to drive and the logistics were vastly improved. Although the 911 is licensed, it is pretty raw on the road, and winter or summer are not so good without heat or air. The Boxster was fun on the track, but terrible for commuting because of the huge blind spots. I bought the car as my primary commuter car and to drive on the track when I did not want to deal with truck and trailer.

Also, I have no data points on RFTs and don't want to tear them up. Another set of wheels and tires for this car is not in the cards right now -- I just spent almost 5K on consumables for the 911. But that should get me through the year. The 911 runs 235/255 - 40-17s on 8's and 9's and the diameters are close to the same. If I could find some 17's in 8s and 9s for the 135 that fit I could swap tires.

The pads on the 135 look absurdly difficult to change, so I will probably not be swapping pads. It will be interesting to see how far they go before they fade. If they fade I will have to swap them for some HPS that I use on the other daily drivers. Not track pads; but adequate for occasional use.

It seems like I will have to drive it to collect the data I want.
