Re: 2012 ETR Autocross School

My daughter and I had planned on driving my 87 Porsche 911 tomorrow, but I discovered late this afternoon that the alternator is not working correctly. Out put is low at mid to high rpm. Both battery and alternator are new.

Re: First Event was great!

I walked twice and ran the novice walk through. I saw plenty of people walking and chatting on their cell phones that would have been much better off actually paying attention to what they were doing. "Over-thinking and over-analyzing separates the body from the mind." - TOOL Perspective ...
