Guess that high speed section shouldn't be too close to the pits. Don't let your friend drive your Porsche GT3.

Well, maybe I can understand it, found this after some research.

As with Porsche's 911 RS models, the GT3 was devoid of any unnecessary items that would add weight to the car. Sound deadening was almost completely removed, as were the rear seats, stereo system, sunroof, and air conditioning, although automatic air conditioning and CD/radio became no-cost optional add-ons. In addition, Porsche offered a no-cost option called the Clubsport package. This option replaced the standard electrically adjustable leather front seats with manually adjustable racing buckets finished in fire-retardant fabric, bolt-in half-roll cage, 6-point drivers racing harness, fire extinguisher (mounted in the front passenger footwell), and moved the clutch pedal from it's conventional position on the left to the center (switching places with the brake pedal) to allow easier trail braking in the European and North American markets, & preparation for a battery master switch. The Clubsport option was never offered to US customers ostensibly due to the additional DOT Crash testing that would have been required to allow US sales.

That really sucks and is ALL over the car forums but thats the first I have heard from somone who was actually there. Thats some bad publicity for SCCA and autox in general and must of been a poorly designed coarse to come so close to the parking area. I can't think of any spots at our local coarse that something like that could happen unless you had a HUGE lapse in judgment or mechanical failure of the brakes.

O well, if you hand over the keys to someone you have to be willing to except the consequences. It's a shame that such nice cars had to be involved. On that note... Dave can I drive your car at the next event??? :lol: j/k I'm going to have my hands full with my car and the new tires.
