One (1) day DE at WSIR for Cali Drivers
STS SPECIAL PROGRAM 
{As announced recently on the POC web site}
www.porscheownersclub.org
All STS licensed drivers are invited to join us for a special Saturday Driving Program. You will be provided a POC instructor, a scheduled 90 minutes of track time and a free BBQ! STS safety requirements will be in effect. Please contact Martin Schacht for further details. (mfschacht@gmail.com), or on his cell: 213 610 7416 If you are not sure you qualify for this event, please make sure that you contact Martin Schacht.
Details: December 1st, 2007, Porsche Owners Club is holding a one (1) day driving Drivers Education event (No Timing) at Willow Springs International Raceway providing STS Licensed drivers an opportunity "test the waters" and experience driving our home track, Willow Springs International Raceway aka WSIR. This track is known as the Fastest Road in the West, an incredible 9 turn track with some great opportunities to blow out the carbon deposits that have been accumulating in your cars over time. If nothing else, you owe it to your car to attend this special event.
Because this is a Drivers Education event with no timing provided for the drivers, STS safety requirements will be in effect. The minimum requirements are for participants to arrive with their helmet, a Snell Foundation approved SA2000 or later helmet. With STS safety requirements in effect, drivers will be expected to have long sleeved shirts, trousers, socks and comfortable shoes. Addition safety gear such as driver’s gloves, drivers shoes are recommended, as well as 5/6 point harnesses, but not required. Some have suggested, you might as well get them prior to the event…addiction to the Big Track Time Trial venue is inevitable, so just get it over with now, an early Holiday present perhaps?
Part of the program, as you would expect, a POC Instructor will be riding with you while you are on the track, coaching you and providing tips for making the transition from the STS to a Time Trial venue. You will hear driving smoothness stressed as well as anticipation, thinking ahead.
The special session is scheduled for ninety (90) minutes of track time divided into four (4) sessions, 20, 25, 20 and 25 minutes each. As mentioned above, there will be no timing provided...this is a true Drivers Education event. At the conclusion of the day, you will enjoy the camaraderie of your friends, some new, some old, at a trackside BBQ dinner provided by your Club.
Note: You must have earned a POC Short Track Series License prior to the one (1) day Big Track event. To obtain a POC STS License, successful completion (Documented with a POC Instructor sign off) of three (3) one (1) day POC STS track days, + a one (1) day POC Driving School. Those lacking from one (1) to two (2) STS track days required for their POC STS License, can pick them up at the November 10/11th POC STS event being held at the Streets of Willow.
Total cost for POC Members, $150, assuming your POC membership is current. If not, there will be an additional charge of $75.00 for a one year membership with POC.
