Just one of many unique Porsches we get in our shop.

Inspired by our own Rodger Hawley, Orbit Racing client Christofer Johnson takes a black 997 Porsche Turbo up to 200 mph on the A-92 in Germany, heading from Landshut to Freising.

Top ten results are getting routine. Although a top ten finish is quite impressive in the star studded Grand-Am Daytona Prototype field, it was not the type of result the team is used to or after. The weekend started out well on Thursday's 2 hour session with Darren Manning and Bill Lester getting in the car and putting on the timing charts within a second of fastest time of the day. We were conserving our allotment of 9 sets Pirelli racing slicks for the race and only used 1 set of tires the 1st day. Darren was sitting 5th quick until the end of the session and some of the teams bolted on a 2nd set (new) of tires and leap frogged in-front of Darren's time.  Friday's morning session resulted in a wrong direction for the set up.

The Daytona Prototype team had a successful event this past Sunday at Laguna Seca finishing in the top 10 for the second straight event. Highlights of the event included Bill Lester moving up from his P12 qualifying position into 4th place! Usually the event at Laguna runs for with numerous full-course yellow / caution periods. 2 came out within the first 30 minutes, which usually means there are going to be many more. Fortunately the team took a splash of fuel on the 2nd caution, and was able to run without another fuel stop for over 1 hour without another caution period and making it only 1 additional stop to finish the race. But unfortunately, the yellow came out after we had a full service pit stop (changing Driver, Tire, Fuel Fill, Drink Bottle, and Cool Suit Ice).
