Shaking off cobwebs for 2015

Winter was finally over (well mostly) and it was time to put the wheels back on the car and take her out for her first event with the NNJR Porsche Club. Despite the strong winds and cooler temperatures I was glad to see that everything was working just fine despite being on jackstands all winter and switching to pump gas instead of sweet smelling ethanol. Bumblestook drove strong and remained composed as always and it was a blast to finally get out there and burn rubber again. I was definitely rusty but I had that unmistakable grin inside the helmet is what it's all about!

NNJR PCA Autocross - 4/4/2015

A few weeks later, it was time to get her back to SJF performance for a real pre-season check. We had to verify and adjust the alignment, change the engine oil, tranny and diff fluid. We also put the exhaust I ran earlier last year back on since I kept blowing sound with the shortened exhaust. Tomorrow we give her one last shake down before our first big event of the year, the NJ ProSolo.
