Default Road Trip to PSDS

3 days from Los Angeles to IL then 1 day to Birmingham! I've said it before but the Sport Bucket Seats are the best and most comfortable of all the seats for a long drive!
This trip they had GT3RS on track...Quite a car.

Glad to hear about the comfort of those seats. Hows the trip going and do you have any more pics of the trip?

Hurley is the man! it's funny that despite being infinitely more accomplished than the rest of the other "drivers"/instructors, he was also far more humble. I found many of them to be condescending wanna-be comedians.

which class did you do? I'm jealous that they had RS' available for you guys.

I did that class twice ( 2007 and 2009). I have been wanting to go back but I just haven't had time been to busy at work.
Do they still do the off road event with the cayenne?

I asked for the 2 day, High Performance driving course for Christmas. I'm going March 9 & 10. You've got me wondering if I should drive, instead of fly (from Baltimore). In April, I'll be driving south of Atlanta, in our Sienna for a week of field training with our dogs. Two 1600 miles trips in back to back months should be fun If I drive to PSDS, it will be in the GT3, though

I can't believe how fast the years slip by! H.H & C. Whitehead were excellent instructors at the Cayman S launch in Ontario 2005 for dealers. I didn't find any to be less than extremely professional, polite, & if you had a question they'd explain & make sure you understood. I couldn't give higher praise for those guys & gals with PCNA. They also had to deal with some real jerk sales ppl that'd rather screw around than learn. Not many as Porsche attracts some great ppl.. Just out of a few hundred at least 20-30 were ZEROS. They didn't allow those ppl to slow them down or the groups. Great 7000 level instructors. I'm going to try & force myself down in the spring for the basic class & masters. Enjoy!!
