Next big gathering will be Savyboy's Reno track meet. We been sharpening our tools and shaving our head in preparation for another GT3/Z06 show down



mooty spend a good chunk of time at Buddhist temple last time back at Taiwan. He is reformed and nice ... he even lend me his sweaty cool shirt when I forgot mine



Get a nice trailer (larger) and get your butt down here

They set up the tires at T11 and T14 last week for 24H Lemons ... can you imagine the mess



Come on up and we will make sure to put you to work



That sticker is already on mooty's bumper
Those Norcal decals made you guys insanely FAST!!!

You're missing that mikymu is not Pat Long in real life.

If he's 4 secs off from a Pro, and Mooty has a 3 secs faster car, advantage Mooty. As Mikymu improves, Mooty can play with a nice set of Michelin Blue Label Cup slicks and drop another 2 secs.

Mikymu getting 2 secs within a Pro driver on a 2 minutes track, good luck with that, I know very few DE drivers (non Club racers, non Pro-Am racers) nationwide that can enter that Club.

Thanks for sharing the pics. I love how the older 911 in pic 8 has a San Francisco street parking sticker. Brings new meaning to Porsche being 'the best daily driven sports car'.

I always thought Mooty was some mythical being created by the Porsche marketing machine to sell more GT3’s … Does he really exist?

I am still running 20+ heat cycle slicks and do all my work so getting close to professional's speed is out of the question. I do find that i am much faster when I have track side support with people yelling at me in the ear piece ... don't forget about the 3-4 seconds we have to leave on the table for DE insurance

mooty don't need mods to go fast - he just need to be angry. Put Mr unscrupulous Calsen Porsche in a Cup and I can guarantee mooty will chase him down

Mikymu, all that being said. Looking at your latest video compared to when you first got your cup you've improved immensely. You're driving very good
