So, Lee, what track are you going to run the Helmet on?

And Mark, what tracks have your run the P car on?

I've done Putnam Park, IN, a lot as well as Mid Ohio [my favorite], with my S. I've also run the R50 at Putnam Park, as well as at Autobahn Country Club in IL, just outside of Chicago. Autobahn is a 2-track for members only, but Phil Wicks had a school there so I was able to take the R50 there. It was divided that weekend, so the R50 could run on each track while the members could use the other. Putnam Park was the favorite track for the R50, as Autobahn was just too fast for the Cooper.

 

I'll take a nice preowned Cayman thank you.

 

2012 Cayman S is cheaper and a better car.

 

Hey Mark how ya doing? Fine red sled you have there.

 

He's getting ready for Christmas and that's gonna pull his sleigh!

 

I didn't know the Helmet had been tracked...ever. Golly.

 

Don't overthink this Mario. Just make sure your car is up to snuff, especially the brakes. Fresh high temp fluid & pads. Leave your ego at home. It's good you have a friend that is track knowledgeable.

I'll give you one tip. You don't need to protect your line entering a corner. After 10 years of racing I couldn't break that habit. No one passes in the corners on a track day.

 

Yes Jeff. The P Car has too

 

A P car is not a P car unless it is tracked, Mark. I guess I never figured you would track the Helmet.
