Many will exercise good will if you ask nicely and tell them the guest that you get to invite is someone who is a good prospect and you are their prime source of information about Porsches and dealerships.

Thanks chuckbdc, but my question has to do with the timing of the invitation. Specifically, how far in advance do the dealers have the invitations available to send?

I received an invite from my dealer about a month and a half prior to the event. I was told that he just got the registration codes and was notifying his "best" clients. I am a repeat client and not new to the brand so I doubt I am Porsche's target participant. I registered quickly after receiving the registration code, as I was told these events fill up quickly. I am looking forward to getting behind the wheel of other cars just for the experience.

Three participants rode with their instructor and each got to do some laps. My instructor was Davy Jones, the Indy and Formula car driver. After the first session it started pouring down rain and over half of the folks fled for cover. I, along with one other in my group stayed and we got another hour of semi-personalized instruction from Mr. Jones of how to haul *** in an SUV in a driving rain.
I learned more about car control in that hour than in all of the other driving situations I've ever been in, I will never turn down the chance to drive something in a clinic type situation like this.

The track portion, w/ sports cars, was better.

It is all fun and a true bargain for the price of admittance! Last year I got into a Panamera GTS on the track portion- that was an eye opener. Only the Carrera S was faster. This year I guess it is the latest- Carrera 4S and Cayman that will be the "comparison" cars.

Just posted today by Porsche and I was lucky enough to be the 53rd viewer. I'm looking forward to this event in my area in September!

Porsche could use a little geography lesson as Pikes Peak isn't exactly "Denver," as they claim. The stretch between Denver and Colorado Springs may be a more accurate speedway for these cars! Check back with the dealers as there may be cancellations.
