A little less than a week ago I asked all of you to talk me off the ledge about driving my 944S 6 hours one way to Road America. Thanks to the large response from you all telling me I was overthinking it, I took the plunge and did it. Made it there, two days driving around the track watching racing and home with no issues. Thanks for the push I absolutely needed!!!
I have a 1987 944S. In the last year, I’ve done a new clutch, timing belts and rollers, tensioners. Chain tensioner pads, tires and flushed brake fluid. The year before that it got all new fuel lines, filter, etc. lots of new rubber seals, new exhaust hangers. It also has a focus 9 DME relay. I am going to a vintage race weekend at Road America this weekend to spectate. I’d really like to drive the car there, but am having a lot of second thoughts. The trip is about 5.5 hours/350 miles one way. Is there any reason to not do this drive? I keep going back and forth. Of course anything can happen with any car, new or old, but this car is almost 40 years old. Odds are I’m overthinking this, but wanted to get other people’s takes.
