Not sure. There were like 20 different classes, all of which are apparently unique to Porsche club racing.

Every time I see your car it makes me sad I sold my FB. Excellent driving, car seems to grab like a cat on carpet.

Thanks. The grip of these tires is simply amazing! After spending the last six years racing on (literally) the cheapest tires I could find, now I feel like I've been shot out of a cannon. lol.

I bought the car about 8 years ago as a total basket case. Paid way too much for it, and absolutely nothing worked. Found this forum, started learning and fixing and now here I am. :) My 11 and 13 year old boys would kill me in my sleep if I ever sold it. They don't realize that it will be buried with me when I die....

Great driving man... I feel like I have seen some of your vids before. You are an inspiration sir!

Looking good! You are a true hero of epic 1st gen driving!

Kentetsu 10-14-11 04:59 PM

Thanks Guys! I'll tell you, it sure feels great putting the hurt to guys running so much horsepower while I've only got 1100 cc's of displacement to work with. :)

I've been determined for years now to prove that a 1st gen can be a potent competitor, so yeah, it feels pretty good. Even my wife is finally starting to "get into it" a bit, cheering at the finish line and such.
