Default Pics from my first track event in the 911, she performed flawlessly

This was over the first weekend in April at Autobahn Country Club. The conditions Friday were perfect (sunny and 65) but mother nature quickly reminded us that it was early spring and this is the upper midwest.

Enjoy.











Yes that's a hitch...the 996 is his tow vehicle




My favorite shots :-)





It rained all day Saturday and then snowed 3" overnight...figured since i drove all the way to chicago I might as well goof around a bit in the snow. I do not recommend doing this at home











Finally some pre-event shots prepping the cars with my track buddies...








Yes that is spartan's gorgeous gt2 conversion :-)

BTW, what does he tow with the 996? Just a light trailer for tires?

haha look great Matt! You drove really well and made great use of my old wheels. I like that blue 993 too, looks sharp

I still hate how the front wheels look with that big gap on my car. Don't worry everyone with the spacers I have coming those wheels will clear my 380mm bbk and will fill up the front wheels much much better. The BBS motorsports fill them up all the way without any spacers

Did you get the issue with these squared away?

I hope so. BBS made some new rear centers which sit closer to the hub so I should be able to run the rear 3.5 inch lip now. Won't be able to install them until after my vacation in June but if all the measurements we did were correct I should be fine.

Can't wait to get them installed, I honestly don't like the looks of the forgelines and had a set crack on me at the track. Whats really going to set the car off will be those BBS Motorsports, the silver centers should look great against the blue car.

sorry for the TJ Matt! Back to your pictures

Nice pics. What size front tire are you running and how wide is the rim?
