I talked to Ian today about my CAV and the track came up. I live in the Seattle area and am an instructor for the Porsche club. I am now the chairman for the HPDE events for the club. I really enjoy going to our local track which is called Pacific Raceways. It has about 150 feet of elevation change with 9 turns and 2.25 miles long. I have not had very much success with my GT40 at the track because I just keep breaking it. I went to the track on July 29. It was 108 degrees at the track that day. Hottest day on record in the Seattle area. It was also the first day that my GT40 went a whole sesson. It actually lasted 4 sessions and drove home on its own power. I did spin the car at about 130mph during heavy breaking going into turn 2. It locked up the back end and it swapped 180. Looking at the cars comming at me, I let off of the brake and whipped the wheel flipping the front back around, hit 3rd and away we went. Yes, we, I had a female student with me for the first time at the track. Whew, she enjoyed the spin. It was a very successful day with no issues. I am really beginning to love this car. Talking to Ian today about the spin and the rear lock, said that changing the uprights and lower control arms will help with this issue as it is not new.
Thanks for letting me voice my enjoyment of my car.
