Just curious if anyone is going to the ALMS race this weekend. I will be there with an ex-924 owner.

Too far away unfortunately... amongst others

Do you know (being closer to the action) if the new RS Spyder will be there? 911&Porsche mentioned that its first appearance would be on October 16th at ALMS.

You know, the last time I was at Leguna Seca, I saw a 911 for the first time. It had to be mid sixty's. I was there for a Can Am, when they were all running big block V-8's. I was a very young man then.

Well the race was amazing. The RS Spyder is very competitive even with the P1 cars. What a car. It easily took class in P2 and ran as high as second overall!

Also it was great to have so many friends from around the state there to watch our HS buddy Pat Long win the race, driver, and team championship! It has been a great season!

Sounds like a top event!

What's an RS Spyder? Any pictures?

Going to the Gold Coast Indy this weekend!

Pretty impressive. I'd love to see it run

C'mon over, Road America is less than an hour from our house and we (Milwaukee PCA) are involved in this race, so I can probably talk the driver into letting you sit in the car.... Plus we will be doing parade laps, driving the pace car, you get the idea...full access to the pits...parties...

It's right after the Porsche Parade.
