Zone 2 PCA, which includes 10 PCA regions from PA to VA, is putting together a High Performance Driver's Education event at Virginia International Raceway on March 15-17, 2013. That's three full days of track driving! If you've never done one before, I cannot say enough about how amazing an experience it is, and one you really have to experience first hand at least once as a 928 owner. Drivers are paired with instructors who provide invaluable information about car control, track lines, and general racing knowledge. After just one session I am a totally different driver, and much more in touch with my car's abilities, as well as my own.

Come do this!


We're trying to get together a big group of 928s there, hopefully coordinating with the 928 Owner's Club, too, and if we act quickly, the registrars will hold spots for us. So far I asked for 8-10 slots, and that wasn't a problem. If you're interested, please comment here, and we will get a sign-up going.

The Zone 2 website is a bit low on details at the moment, though it mentions a Friday night social and a Saturday banquet. http://pcazone2.intuitwebsites.com/D...Education.html Cost for the Watkins Glen event was $340. This might be more because it's 3 days, but I can't imagine it would be over $500.

Admin, can we get a sticky, please?

So does that mean your in?

As in the other thread, Count me in Mike!

Courtshark

I think it means he's providing food for us all at the track...

KenRudd

Yes, I'm in. Was there this year (2012) for the March Event. It's a great time of year to be there. Great weather & great track.

Courtshark

Awesome Ken! Great video, too.

My contact was asking about advanced drivers and instructors. If anyone falls into those categories, please let me know right away. I'm definitely still a noob!

Ok Mike, I posted a thread in the OC events page with a link to this thread. Hopefully we can get a strong showing and show these taildraggers what it's all about.
Ken, nice video, what camera and telemetry are you using?

KenRudd

Two cams ( Obviously):
1. Go-Pro Mounted to gas tank strap. This was just for fun to see the wheels/suspension. Normally it's on the roof or side window.
2. Droid phone on dash running aLapRecorder ( http://adyno.net/). This captures video and data ( GPS and accelerometer from phone)

Then I render it all post race using "Race Render" http://www.racerender.com/RR2/Features.html

Need to join Carolina's PCA first, then sign up. This will be my first. Very much looking forward to this.

Courtshark

Sweet! I see 5 so far. Let's keep this going.

Count me in as well. I live in Maryland and I've been wanting to improve my handling skills for my 928 and see what she can really do (in a safe environment).

She should be ready by March with all the necessary service and mods.

Courtshark

6! Outstanding. Let's get to 10...

When does registration open and through which site ?

Courtshark

I assume the normal registration will be through clubregistration.net. But I'm trying to arrange for us to have a pre-registered block. If we can get to 8-10, we should be good. One thing that would lock it would be some advanced drivers, and/or instructors. Calling Gary Knox... Hinchcliffe... Will keep you posted.
