Thought I would share a great 4.5 hr drive I had in Vermont on Rt 100 a week ago. Rt 100 is in the top 10 most scenic drives and is lotsa twisted fun w/little or no traffic on the weekends..

Very nice...I wonder how that wing would look on a white car...

can I borrow it for a weekend?

Fantastic pics !! Must have been an unbelievably great drive!! I can't wait to take my car up into the Smokies.

Hello there "Brother Seal" great color on your car. :-) I know you have some great drives down there in the smokies!!!

Four and half hours without a spec of brake dust or a dead bug? How did you manage that, Rockit?

If you think the Vermont/Upstate NY roads are fun, bring your car to the track. I just got back from 2 days at Lime Rock and there were 4 GT3s---2 Speed Yellow, 1 Black, and 1 Seal Gray.
The Jamie Ford/Rennlist event is still open---sign up and head out to Watkins Glen with us. It's only 3.5 hours from Clifton Park. C'mon, do it----you and your car will never be the same.

Those pics are so beautiful...I think I'm gonna cry. I've really got to get a GT3.

I love Route 100. I take it everytime I'm not in a hurry to get back from Vermont.

A nice scenic drive......

Someday I hope you will exercise the car in the environment for which it was designed, you have all of the goodies to look the part, roll bar, seats, harness, exhaust, wing.
Only then, will you truly appreciate what the car that you drive is capable of, and you will be amazed.

Make the time and do a DE with PCA, sign up for PDE, something, for winter is on it's way and a year will have passed without really experiencing what your GT3 it is all about.

So jealous...

Thanks for sharing Chris.

Thanks guys...and yes, I will make it to the track someday...I look at it like this: "I having a long, slow comfortable screw" with my GT3. I am slowly, safely and effectively feeling out the car. Insurance is an issue for me from a physical damage standpoint. Coverage from reading the policy for DE's is not mentioned, nor speciffically excluded (Not sure if I like abiguity). I don't know if I could live with myself if I doinked it into a wall or guard rail...would rather experiment handling the oversteer situations, ect with a somewhat less expensive car...Attending the Porsche PDE school would probably be a wiser route to take first as far as my introduction to "track crack"! :-)

rockitman

Now Viken...heavy brake dust would indicate that I was probably scaring the general public on the road...We can't have that...

I'm conservative on the brakes. I have more fun smooth braking earlier to go slower in, but then go faster out!!!

Chris...sh*t happens. A friend of mine totalled his first GT3 on his way to work. It can happen anywhere. BTW, you only live once, and shouldn't miss out on tracking this amazing car because of a few potential dents or scratches. You can buy an annual supplemental track insurance policy for only 1.5% of the stated value of the car.

rockitman

Thanks for the encouragement Larry. I think I am more afraid of the addictive qualities of tracking a car like this then the possibility of damaging the vehical itself...

Next year (not to far away) I will attend my first event. I think I am just about ready...
