This was at Phoenix International Raceway the year before the final IMSA 
Prototype series.  They did the IMSA GTP's the next year and then went to the 
WSC format...it was never the same since.  My buddy and I drove up in my 81 
924T with the Porsche club from Tucson.  We were allowed as a group to do two 
"Parade Laps".  Yeah, right, get 40+ Porsche owners on a track and lap #2 was 
more like Le Mans than a parade.  Anyway, I topped out at 130MPH before 
braking for the infield section and I had 911's up my tailpipe.  Made up for 
it with better handling on the infield though.  I surprised some die-hard 911 
guys with the 924's balance.
