The street racing this year has been intense with P2 challenging the P1 class. But for us locals its more about following the Corsa Ferrari in the GT2 class. After their strong showing in 4th at St. Petersburg this is a team to watch. They had only 2 hours of test time with the new Dunlop tires.430gt.com How cool is ithttp://gt3porschecup.blogspot.com/2008/04/american-le-mans-series.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Benzo)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36522218.post-7485477026963035657Thu, 03 Apr 2008 21:52:00 +00002008-04-03T16:00:20.908-06:00Quick update: Round #2 will be held at Apex Hobby.

It's too bad Jeff couldn't make our planning meeting and posted dates conflicting but you have to say that things are getting better. Corey, Rod, and I are excited to bring Porsche Cup to Orem.

I just got off the phone with Anthony Aquila. He's planning on racing with us on April 26th. Who needs to carry the mantle when the mantle comes from Phoenix to race!I've heard back from several racers that they will be attending this round. Early days but it looks like it should be a decent field. Plus the cup cars should be a blast on the prepped surface at Apex.

Nice run Paul. I scrapped together two 2nd places despite all the mayhem. Troy Kendall took a couple of thirds. We all dipped into the well of cold temperature tires with me digging up the 20º's.The added power was a real treat.

Many of you have been looking for the SLCF1.com site. Sadly it is lost to a domain poacher. So until it can be restored the blog will be here at GT3porschecup.blogspot.com. The loss of the site is totally my fault as I got caught up in my work in Orlando last week and forgot to renew.

We are excited to have Apex Hobby as the series sponsor this year. We have made some changes to the regulations. Stock brushed and brushless motors are legal. It is a lot of power for these light weight machines. So to add to the fun we've added the use of foam tires. You can use anything mounted on a touring car rim...foam or rubber.

I think the Porsche cup racing and all the scale racing you have done over the years is pretty cool stuff and it's unfortunate that it is an event like this where racers may only do this sort of racing once a year that you will find it is difficult to get people to http://gt3porschecup.blogspot.com/2007/07/nice-quote-from-gus-on-utahrccom.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Benzo)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36522218.post-3831782845733603346Thu, 26 Jul 2007 04:28:00 +00002007-07-25T22:36:08.315-06:00Professor, Troy, Fred, Mike, and I got to Fastkart to set up even with threatening skies. It looked as though the storm might skirt to the side of where we would set up. But as soon as the markers were unloaded with the hose the storm unleashed the rain.
