Replacement engine is in the car, so I'm planning on being there.

Can't wait to get back out there.

Gerry, go to <www.nasaproracing.com> and check out their HPDE events. Their two day events can be taken one day at a time or both days in a weekend and you'll receive a log book. It is great beginning experience, and very good pricing, and you'll be qualified for events like this that require experience.

PCA Golden Gate Region Driver's Ed page

PCA is well-organized and after the classroom and the track weekend, you should have no problems running w/ Got Guts. Let me know if you have any questions.

The PCA event is also great but I think it does require having attended one of their ground schools previously.

Brian, I did the April event last year with PCA and Hooked on Driving and had a blast until my clutch went South. There was one 928 there that was fun to watch, I think it was Richard. Monday's are the one day of the week that I have work obligations so the 23rd is out unless something changes. The 944 is still the only car I can track until I get the torque tube, or whatever the hell it is, on the S4, sorted out. I really am looking forward to some track time with other 928's when I get the chance.
