Re: Shark Sighting

 

Adam,

Cool! looking forward to seeing you., i'm sure i can help you out and
give you a good deal. good luck with the torque tube, and as for your other
post, i have no idea how the engine will be affected. i would guess that a
jack vertainly would not hurt though. better safe than sorry. where do you
go for your t-belt adjustments? i've been going to Robert Larson Porsche on
South Tacoma way but they are expe$sive!

Re: Shark Sighting

 

Adam,

Red Robin sounds good but have to pick up my girlfriend at Sea-Tac on
Friday at 9:35pm so i have to leave by 9:25pm (he he just kidding.) how
about 6:30 to 7:00pm? i'd love to see you guys and some other 928's around
here, sometimes i feel like i'm the loner around here. by the way, Adam, i
used to live in Puyallup, on 152nd and canyon, i know the area well. i'll
keep my eye out for your car.

Re: Shark Sighting

 

Tom,

Keep an eye out for a Purple GT on your way to Longview, thats one of my
favorite drives along with the highway 7 to Mt. Raineer. sometimes, when its
sunny, i just drive to one or the other, get there (insert bathroom break
here)and turn around and head right back home, just for the drive. what a
kick. maybe i'll see you sometime.

Re: Devek Day

I am so behind in everything right now--

I have scheduled August 4-7 as time off, though I don't think I can make it
down to Devek's area in 10 hours (about 830 miles). That's Friday through
Monday for me, though I bet I can cut out a little early on Thursday.

Don,

Back when I asked the question I believe I got around seven
affirmative
responses on going to Devek Day. I will be going and am interested
in
hooking up with others of you along the way. Portland might be a
good place
for all to hook up.

Sound good to me, very central location from my perspective.


Question for the group: Of those that are going, what do your
schedules
look like, with respect to travel dates? I personally have to
watch
the
time off, but I'll be flexible. Don, are you thinking drive to
Devek from
Willows on Saturday morning, or the night before? We would want to
be at
Devek early on Saturday, perhaps by 8:00 to get good parking. It
will fill
up fast.

I was thinking of taking the Friday off and driving down (I checked
last year and remember it being about 10hrs??). If we leave fairly
early, we could be in town around 6:00 pm. Just in time to check in
and hit the pre event gathering they usually have.


I also remember that Inns of America had a block of rooms available
at
special rates???? Does anyone know if this is the same this year?

Hi All,

Just uploaded the scans of the 928 vs 996 article on my web site.

It's slow to load and the text is a little fuzzy, but check it out
and
then go buy the May 2000 issue. Definetely worth the 5 bucks.
Found
my copy at Borders. Had about 5 or so copies left (downtown
location).

Bob,

The red one I see every day on my way to work. The owner also owns that
billiard and game store on Tacoma Mall Blvd. His name is Luther but goes by
Lute. He is a pretty nice guy and that is his daily driver.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note to let you know that information on local (and
other) 928 events is posted on my web page in case you lose track of
all the e-mails floating around.

The site is


Check it out and give me some comments, suggestions, etc.


I will try to keep it current.

Hey Nick,

Sorry to hear you won't be able to make it. If your schedule happens to
open up, just show up. 8am at SIR.

The nice thing about my not organizing the event itself is that I don't
have to take any deposits. Last minute entries are no problem.

Hi Ray.,

The only purple 928 on the list (or that I know of locally) is Bob ?
(bobarino). He picked up (I should say stole) that 91 GT from
Chapins
in Bellevue.

Bob was that you??

On a side note, I know of a purple 91 GT in Vancouver BC that is
supposedly for sale for Cdn. $31,000. Break it down to US $ and
it's
about $21,000. Not a bad deal. Should be fairly easy to get across
the border.

Can any Canadian listers confirm this ????

Hey Bobby, You work right around the corner from me. I work in the plaza
that has the "Coffee Express" in it across from the McDonalds on Custer. I
saw you while you were at the light by the produce stand around 11:00. Yep,
I will have to drive my shark in one day this week, and stop by.

Re: By the way, Hi!

Adam Birnbaum
 

Hey Andy,

The Pac NW Shark Drags are taking place at SIR on Sunday June 25th.

We currently have 16 928's that will be racing. Our "team" is called
"Stuttgart Air Force".

The cost is $25 to race payable at the gate. T-shirt orders are closed at
this time, although there is a chance I may be able to get a couple extra
printed up without a nickname printed across the back.

There will be an extra charge to cover the costs of our own trophies and
prizes, I'll let everyone know what this is when I get the shirts back.
I'm shooting for $25 apiece, including the price of the T-shirt.

Tech inspection begins at 8am, I would try to be a little early. All
spectators are welcome.

This is not a private event. We will be participating in the "Hi-Tech
Import vs. American Muscle" race day. There will be anywhere from 200-500
participants total. You will get anywhere from 2-5 dial in runs, depending
on how many participants there are. From there, you race until you get
eliminated.

We will have four trophies: "Quick Draw"-fastest reaction time; "Top
Gun"-fastest top speed; "Eliminator"- quickest E.T.; "King Shark" - 928
that gets furthest up the ladder;

There will also be a Drag Day Poker. All participants guess what their
best reaction time, top speed, and E.T. will be. I think I may have people
do this after their first dial in. Who ever gets the closest on all three
at the end of the day will win the as yet to be determined prize.

It'll be a great time Andy, you should go for it. We are all first timers
for the most part. You don't have to abuse your car. The key is
consistency, not top speed.

Even if you decide not to race, please come and check it out, it's always
great to meet other shark owners in person.

One last note on racing, if you don't go for it now, you may not get
another chance.
(How's that for pressure?)

What are these drags? Do you have to race to be there? I don't think
I
would be up for that, but I would like to meet fellow shark owners!

lemme know... and thanks for the response!
Andy,

The shark drags are going to be held in Seattle,
at SIR right guys?? The looks to be a great turnout
of guys running their cars as well as some not so
by all means show if you can even if you don't want
to run! Adam Birnbaum has organized this event
as well as other great events for all us NW shark
owners, Can one of you guys fill Andy in on more
of the fine details??

The procedure is printed in the 928 Int'l catalogue, it was written by
Wally Plumley at 928SP. If anyone wants it, I can scan it or fax it. It is
probably at Nichols tips page.

Congrats on the purchase,must be a very clean car
with only 38K!
Hope you can make it down to the drag day on the 25th,
should be a great time.As far as the fan not working it
would have to be a bad viscous coupling,this can be
re-filled with fluid but I'm unsure where the procedure
this was posted; anyone??
