Please explain you brother's absence... this borders on unacceptable

As he put it:

Unfortunately, wife=high school teacher, kids= 5 and 7, no one else to get them up in the morning, ready, and to school.

I don't disagree with you.

They can miss school a few days. Baby sitters are easy to find. Or better yet just let them figure it out for themselves... Jk

I skipped out on my wife's birthday for the fall event. Cost me when I returned but it was worth it.

Made my first one last fall and the wife and I had an amazing time. Didn't know anyone originally and now have made some really good friends. Really looking forward to this spring.

If you are considering it, don't wait.

+1 To those considering this event, let me say it is something special. The foremost thought to attend would be to see all the amazing GT cars that participate; no two are alike. It is Porsche personalization at its finest. The people are as unique (or is that eunuch) as the cars they drive. What I found amazing was pulling together 35 people together that had never met and within a few hours you'd have thought they've been friends forever. A very open and inviting group.

Oh, and if you like to drive, man, do we have some fun. The roads, sounds of various exhausts are pure exhilaration.

That's my pitch. Come join in and I'll help ensure you have a great time.

I hope you're deep in the throws of prepping your playlist Phil.

With C2Spin leading the pack, you blaring your mix on the radio, and the Reidry's at the rear... it doesn't get better!

I believe this is the mix Phil has been using while waiting on his RS.

Fabulous! The friendships formed are what make the event so worthwhile.

Here's a taste of what to expect.
