I leave early in the morning, the cold crisp air, quiet streets. Walk to the garage, back the car off the machine, and head out to the track, a couple hours on the road to prepare myself for the day ahead. Whether it's Watkins Glen or Lime Rock, all I can think about is taking it deeper, faster and harder (no pun intended) through the turn. That one corner that scares the shit out of you.
This is why there is more than one reason to own a Porsche. The car, the friends, the experiences it opens you up too. I had never been on a track before I owned my first Porsche and instantly I thought to myself, why the fuck haven't I done this before.
I'm looking forward to going to my favorite track in November, Lime Rock, in my new Porsche. To hit that downhill right hander onto the straight, flat out, suspension totally compressed, foot to the floor.
This is corner 9 at Watkins Glen. A flat downhill turn that can spit you out so easy, it might as well be called 'The Sling-shot'.
*The video embedded is not mine, nor did I participate in any way, but it nails exactly how it feels to go to a Porsche track day.

Oh, that pun was *definitely* intended. I'll be in my bunk.
I'm tired of working on the 944 and really want to get to the part where I hoon the snot out of it. Or buy an 911. Or buy a 911 and hoon the snot out of both.
