March 10, 2008 - A very serious sticker.
I saw some spy shots of the Porsche Panamerica taken in South Africa. They had this sticker. I had to have one, so a friend duplicated it for me.
The track day wasn't all work on the race car. I got to drive the FM Westfield, now with 100% more turbocharger. Holy cow, it was a great ride. The chassis of the Westfield was easily able to deal with the horsepower, and it became a massively fast machine. It had a better power/weight ratio than the Atom I drove almost a year ago, while also having a much better gearshift and more exploitable handling. It's a beast.
Another car that I got to drive was a V8 powered MGB GT. It made a wonderful noise. It wasn't fast - there's still a lot of work to do on the car - but the combination of the shape in BRG and the rumble was compelling. There's an advantage to hanging out in the pits wearing a driver's suit and playing with an obvious race car - people ask you to drive their cars and want to know what you think!
