Had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate Father's Day with my dad, Alan, by taking him on-track in the 911 and setting a PB of 1:55.01 with him in the car. One of his bucket-list item(s) has been checked off...
Shout out to SP Motorsports (Hayward, CA.) for installing Ohlins R&T coilovers and hooking me up with a custom alignment and setup just days before our track day! SP helped make this Father's Day really special and possible for us...
