haha PL,

There are 3 National SCCA AX champions in that top 10. But they do still appreciate a little wine and cheese now and then.

Like it or not, this post has certainly attracted some attention and put a little zing into our forum. Maybe Madmods is the Andy Kaufman of 986forum!

REALITY CHECK:

A two seat convertible sports car that starts at 60k is not a poor mans anything.

The museum and vineyard tours aren't my thing , but don't disrespect the pca drivers please mr perfect lap .
There are some pretty Frikin awesome pca drivers

The perfect lap on Saturday was 52:31 on his 3rd timed run .
His first timed run was 54:51 and his second was 54:40 .

Pretty impressive by ANYBODIES standard .
But bear in mind his slowest first timed run , which he improved on by over 2 seconds, would have netted him 3rd place

Ps : did you ever get your Lloyd's mats sorted out ?

I am well aware that the same fast drivers run in SCCA, NASA, etc. as well as PCA.
But we all know that SCCA's times are far more competitive than PCA as a whole.
Around these parts we've had SCCA events where the top 7 times were separated by half a second (maybe less) if memory serves. Whereas a PCA event might have twice, or more, of that gap. I also recall one pair of SCCA drivers who consistently won or lost their class by 0.09 or less despite being completely different cars.

Other differences I've noted. PCA drivers will often show up wearing "driving shoes" and Porsche design button down shirts, whereas SCCA drivers will show up in old grungy sneakers, lots of stubble, a Tom Petty concert T-shirt, oil-stained jeans and will generally drive the wheels off whatever they can get into. Hence the wine and cheese referenfce.

p.s.
I still have those $100 red 987 matts that the vendor would not accept a refund for.
The online order form simply said Boxster matts with no clarification if they were for 987 or 986 but they insisted on charging restocking and shipping.
