Also a big thank you to John, Chris, Alex, Hung and Cam. Great at track help, endless laughs and proficient beer drinking. Can't wait to see you all on the track soon. Great fun dicing with Andy and Ryan and hanging out with all the guys in our Early Porsches compound.

Great stuff Tom. Why where you at the back of the grid?
I can feel you lovin' that gearbox shift ...
Amazing difference in the speed of the Cobras (?) with, and without, the rain.Comment

Selector issues all weekend, missed qualy because of it but some adjustment with Johns help improved it from no 2nd or 4th to a workable sticky 4th.
48th to 10th in the rain was a bit of fun ��Tom Walstab

Was it shifter linkage bushes or inside the box ? Maybe your gearshift lever itself is too worn at the ball joint base ? One of the aftermarket shifters (Rennshifter) will vastly improve the positive feel of gear selection IMHO.sigpicPhil Lack

Keen to see some other videos in the wet where it seemed the 911's were getting far better traction than MG's etc.sigpicPhil Lack

Tom had a blinder of a weekend. The shifter issue (Rennshift) was relatively minor, though it cost Tom a qualifying time - hence the start from the rear.
The Group S guys were a stand-out again for spectators!John Forcier

I took some photos, but frankly there were far better lensmen than me...
I had a great time as usual with the usual suspects here and some new (to me) faces including TomW, TomL, Chris, Cam, Justin, Alex, Hung, Luke, Sal, JohnO, MarcusR, MarkM, DaveB and quite a few others whose company was first class!
Some good drinks, great food, and fabulous cars - what else could you want?! Interesting quite a few of these guys will be at Rennsport in the States come September... With Geoff Morgan confirming he's sending a car over to compete, I think we'll be quite a "presence" !!!John Forcier

Top 4 days. Good company, changeable weather
Toms' driving was a highlight for me.
I'm not sure how often a run like that from the rear of the grid happens.
Fishy certainly arranged first class digs and good food was only walking distance each evening.Comment

Also worth mentioning a great lunch at Miss Mollys with host Sal.
Justin Reed ran his car in regularity and showed that even a pristine car can be fun on the track...just don't mention the front bumper:pComment

Such a great weekend. It was my first time at PI and I hope to make it a regular... Thanks to John for the many introductions. It was great to meet many of you and begin putting faces to names etc.
Seeing the 901s in action was inspiring so thanks to those involved for making the effort.
Here are a couple pics from my iphone...Tom Laube
