5AM
After my first track day last year at Willow Springs, I could never forget how much fun I had. I have been itching to go again ever since but just haven’t pulled the trigger... Until a couple of weeks ago. My friend called me up and wanted to tackle the track for his first time in his 2007 Carrera 4S. So naturally I said I would go with him...Perfect.
Started to look for events close to a time window he gave me, so I chose this one at Willow Springs for a day at Big Willow. A week before the event, I remember thinking I’ll be on the track the following Saturday... Excited and a bit nervous were just a few of the emotions that I felt. As the week went on, all I could think of was the words “Track...Track... Track... Track...” rolling around inside my mind. The night before came, and I set my alarm. 5AM... Slide the alarm. Met up with my friend around 5:30am at a local coffee shop, and used my trunk for the perfect table to hold a cup of coffee and a blueberry scone. As I was eating.. I couldn’t help but think “I wish his 911 had a massive wing to eat off of...” Well after a small bite, we were off to Willow Springs enjoying the sun rise in the distance. And we arrive after an hour and 20 minute drive...

One of the many vendors on this forum, or the dealer. So one of the many vendors on this forum. Maybe one of them can chime in...

Nice pics.
Curious about your impressions on the track...like did you have fun? Did you learn a lot? Did you improve your times during the day? Any issues with the car / oil temps / tires?

The 991 is gorgeous though Quote:
I had a few oversteer moments that I corrected.. and every time, it put a smile on my face. Some "oh shit" moments too, but those were followed by a smile as well. |

Nice. The black lip is looking crispy. Just need some black wheels to go with it.
