Anyone remotely close to Villanova have room to haul a wheel set down to Jeff/Summit for me this weekend?
I'm having a weird intermittent pressure loss issue in my right front tire, and don't want to get stuck down there.

Hey Glen,
My tire rack is full, but I always bring a second set of rims with street tires for my 993 as a just in case set. You're welcome to them if you find you need them. The only issue is I won't get there till Sunday.

Glen,
I have 2 additional sets of wheels with me and will be there for all three days. If you have a problem I can lend you a set for the weekend.

So how many cars did Jefferson Eat?
- Sechsgang - 06-16-2008
atleast 6...4 944s, kenny's gt3, a cayman and Im sure there were more...
- Darren - 06-16-2008
944's take the worst of it it seems, if my memory is working.
I blew my coolant tank in my 996 there last year. If the newer cars don't hold up well there it just doesn't make sense to run the track. I know its a great learning track, but there is no place for the cars to cool down.
At some level, its like potholes on the street. If you added up all the car damage in flat tires, bent rims, etc, the cost to repair the potholes is often much less.
If we added up the repair bills and added that to the cost of the event running Jefferson, I wonder whether it would be worth it? I'm guessing not.
I retract my earlier statements about the value of Jefferson -- IMHO we should be done with it. Flame away.

i concur...what sucked more was the weather/antifreeze at summit though...
- Darren - 06-16-2008
I was slow on Summit, but not sure why. It was chewed up quite a bit on 1-2, 5, and 6 but it didn't seem like that was slowing me down that much...I had no real traction issues through 3 where the coolant was.
