On the way back from SH tonight I happened upon a secondary gathering near *****.

MR2 was nice enough to introduce himself once I arrived and asked if I would like to compare accelerations. Even though my car is still in ill health, with 295 HP at the rear wheels I said yes since I thought it would fun to try.

To make a long story short, from both a dead stop and rolling start, MR2 trounced me both times with his mitsu.

He then suggested that I move down the scale to one of the "all motor" hondas that was there (whose owner's name I can't remember), and since I had already smoked the clutch trying to start from a dead stop against MR2 we did a rolling start that ended up very close. Even though the spectators thought that I beat him, I never quite made up the car length that he got on me at the very start of the run. Its the first time I have ever had any honda stay ahead of me so I was very impressed

Then I met another person whose name I also can't remember with a yellow Mustang GT who was also interested in a run with a rolling start. While he also got a few car lengths on me at the very start I managed to make up about half that distance during the run. In the end he was still ahead of me so that one also went to the GT.

It was a very humbling night, but also very fun. Its also a reminder for me why I need to get some work done and add some mods to the Porsche.

Immediately after the FSF autocross on the 16th I have an appointment to leave my car at Dave White's shop for about a month while they rebuild the motor, change the ring and pinion to a lower gear and fix the FI issues.

My congradulations to everyone that kicked my ass tonight, but at the same time I'll say "just wait till next time".
