Jan 2009

First off familar names and nearly all the same cars still running.

Lap times Best of 1:15.2 vs 1:13.0 2 second change. An intersting not is that my 1:15.2 was set on the same springs, sway bars and shock type as I ran in 2009. I also was also on RA-1 for both. Also I ran the same alignment settings and had a fresh motor in 2003 and a fresh on in 2009.

Now look at the cars
Jan 2003 vs Today
94 - Still owned by me
21 - Chas's 924S is now Glenn #924 race car
51 - Paul is still around and the car is racing in 944 spec in POC in So-Cal
09 - Steve Sapareto still owns the car and is planning to run it again this seson
19 - Now owned by Jim Richard and raced in January
44 - Now owned by Austin Newmark and is white #47
76 - Jon Ariano still runs the same car. (unfortunaly will miss this weekend due to business commitments)

Intersting as of the 7 cars on the list 6 are still actively being raced, 5 in Arizona, 1 in Californina and the 7th should be back in action some time this year.

Honestly guys I find it cool to look back all these years and see so many familar names and the same cars. It is crazy how lap times have changed from driver advances.
