[s-cars] Speed Racer wannabe

[Frederic L'Huillier]

Last time, I was at a track event with P-cars, the president of the Porsche
Club was extremely upset and asked that this wagon car to be removed from
the paddock. To end up the discussion with this A** H***, I offer to do a
couple of laps with him. OK it was raining !!!
He left the room and never talked to me for the rest of the day. Also I had
the three baby seats in the back.

Regards,
Frederic

Ha! I love showing up at Porsche club events with my Audi wagon. They
usually ask if I'm delivering lunch...and I respond by telling them I'm
there to kick their asses! :)

...I'm never FTD, but then again, I'm never slow time of the day...which
means *someone* in a Porsche is slower than me! :)

With regard to your questions...

- It's not easy to find helmets to test...so I bought a Bell M2 online at
www.ogracing.com.

- tires pressure...I run 44 front/40 rear for autocrossing

- ask the Alfa club for their checklist.

HTH, and have fun!
