Well kids,
I took second place and I think last place, too.
They do have a class for the newer ones -- P7 in this region.
I didn't know they wanted to see things like the tool kit, battery, etc.
And they didn't ask. So no points for that. (I should have looked at
the score sheet -- I can't blame the judges for my own failure to
read what they look for.)
I vacuumed the interior and trunks and still got points off for that.
How freakin' clean do they have to be???
No points at all for the engine -- big surprise, eh?
The guy who won had a Speed Yellow Cayman. I guess he vacuumed
better somehow than I did.
Oh well, my prize was a cool golf style towel with the PCA and local
chapter name embroidered on it. The 1st place was a plaque.
And, for those who pre-registered -- even a display only, Randall --
received a $90 detail kit from Griot's Garage. Not bad for a $20 entry
fee.
Some weenie 356ers didn't show -- we think because of weather. It
was cloudy and the merest hint/possibility of rain (which didn't happen).
Quite a few others came by anyway just to hang out.
Oh, have you all ever seen a real 906? There was one of those, too.
For anyone in the Houston area, who isn't going with Randall to the
Tail of the Dragon, that 906 will be at the Keels and Wheels show
on May 5/6. And if you haven't been to that show, it has some
extremely first class show cars and wooden boats.
One year I was there, they had a real PT boat. Very cool. No torpedoes,
though.
So a good day, top down all the way, of course. PSE just singing away.
And it still has a ticking noise -- sounds like a lifter to me. I am taking
it to the other dealer as soon as we get a day with no threat of rain.
Momentum told me it was chain noise. I disagree. Chains don't go
tick, tick, tick. Lifters do. Flat cam lobes can, too. Anyway, we will see.
I wish everyone a Boxster top down day...
- Mark
