TOPIC: The 20 mpg tow vehicle

The 20 mpg tow vehicle 16 years, 5 months ago #1917

With the growth of 944 spec around the country you may as what does it take to win? Do you need some amazing car towed by a 40 ft motorhome and 5 man pit crew. Well while a 40 ft motorhome certainly makes the experience nice, driver skill not the size of the tow rig is what works in 944 spec.

Case in point Mr Norman Hamden. Norm hails from Sedona Arizona and is known as one of the fastest 944 spec drivers in the country. The biggest race of the 2008 season for many west coast racers was held at Miler Motorsport Park just outside Salt Lake City Utah this June. So in an era of $4 a gallon regulay unleaded and $5 a gallon diesel how does a grassroots racer make the biggest race of the year on a budget?

Well simply DRIVE THE RACE CAR! The 20 mpg tow vehicle.




Norm drove his race car some 600+ miles each way to Miller from his Sedona home. As for how this impacts on track performance. Norm had 1 win, 1 track record and 1 second place finish vs 25 of the best 944 spec racers in the country. Not too bad I guess.
