Is there a site on the net that I can obtain lap times from the Porsche club races?
Thanks!!

Eric gave you the exact site you need. Note that at the bottom of the screen you'll find a link to the 2004 results so you can see the times for all the tracks that haven't been run yet in 2005. You're looking for the race groups that include F class. Even if you don't see any 968's in the results, just look for the F class times. A well driven, well prepared 968 is capable of running at the front of F class at pretty much any track. Were you looking for a specific track?

Thanks!! I must have been blind!! I am a PCA member and just missed the link to the race results.
I was curious to see what the times at Hallett are compared to the lap times in my GP car. Will check the times at Heartland Park as well.

Looks like I am .5 to 1 second faster at Hallett and MAM. Should really be 2 to 2.5 seconds faster. I am about 1.5 seconds slower at Heartland.

I'm not too familiar with the F class guys who ran Hallet last year, but at Heartland Park last year Mike Courtney was the guy to beat. He and I run virtually identical times at Putnam Park, so you can use his times as a good proxy for 968 times at Heartland Park.

Mike was considerably faster than the others in F stock.

Not surprising. Mike is an excellent driver with a well prepared car. He is representative of the kinds of cars and drivers you find at some of the bigger PCA events like Mid Ohio, Sebring, etc.

The Mid Ohio PCA race is May 14-15. I can post the F class results if people are interested.

[quote name='Charles Geer' date='Apr 30 2005, 06:59 PM']Yes, post them. I believe the Carolina race is going to be another big 968 showing.

Yes, I expect Gary and I will both be at Carolina in November. I expect Rich Tillotson and Lou Lipari will be there as well. Watkins Glen should be another well attended race for 968's. WG is a track you should think about adding to your 2006 schedule. Its an excellent track, probably my favorite, and like Sebring always has a huge turnout.

[quote name='Charles Geer' date='May 2 2005, 03:23 PM']QUESTION: Is the stock 968 Oil Pan and Baffles sufficient to handle G loads we are putting on these in club racing?
Do you recommend another brand Oil pan / Baffle system?
Thanks, Charles[/quote]
To date I've been doing fine with the stock setup. I just make sure to run the oil slightly over full.
