BTW, I thought Spencer went to Deman -- has he returned to F/L?

Andy - Spencer recently left DeMan and has opened up his "own shop" - FarnbacherLoles Clubsport. His show and focused on DE and Club racing. Perfect!

Glad to hear that you got through unscathed! A true big moment.....
No other upgrades than you mention. But I do have 7,000 hard track miles on the car...

These ABS units are NOT meant for racing. They are for street cars. DE's seem to be fine, but for a dedicated track/race car Porsche is finding that the units are not bullet proof. This is apparently a know isse with 997's as well (essentially the same unit). I will be replacing mine with a Porsche Motorsport unit - intended for racing....
