After talking to Kary Clements from PCA, I will run on the 22nd and 23rd with PCA at the Streets of Willow, and then the 29th and 30th with POC. The PCA event will be running clockwise and will also run the Back Bowl, added track. In addition, there will be a light turn out as well. This is being run as a time trial, so once again lots of you will be running as students...but remember, low turn out, light on the traffic. For more info on the PCA event, go to www.pcasd.org They should have the event up very soon, possibly even now

Try to make the 29th for certain. That is the one (1) day POC driving school. You need one (1) school to earn your POC Short Track Series License. You'll need a Short Track License if you want to run any of the Big Tracks with POC. You already are 50% there with 2 days on the track. I believe all you need is 3 events and 1 school to qualify for a STS license. If you want to know the specific requirements, drop a note to Glen Uslan. You can find his e-mail address on the POC web site, Board Members www.porscheownersclub.org

29th. I may go so I can get that DE out of the way for my license. A lot that will do me since I have a cab without roll bar anyway. At least I won't have to run with an instructor, which is probably well worth it to keep that jabbering out of my ear when I am trying to concentrate on hittin apex's.

Martin S.

The 29th will be the mandatory school, the 30th will be STS #1. Look me up I am in car #326 white 97 Carrera

Instructors are way overrated when you have natural talent....

mnmblu

Yup.

Never underestimate what a good instructor can do for your ability.

I know a couple of guys who have had a fellow Rennlister and HWFM teammate, DJ, and have raved about how much he has helped them. DJ is a good guy, very funny, and will tell you exactly what you are doing right or wrong.

Hey Mike, I have been told the same thing about my teaching before. Well, with the exception of being a good guy, being very funny, and telling them exactly what they are doing right.

Ya know, I've always heard you were a terrific instructor for school bus track days.

One question though. Whcih seat does the instructor sit in on the school bus?

E. J. - 993 Alumni

Its actually better as the instructor can sit in the seat directly behind the driver and scream at the top of his lungs in the drovers ear. Works great.

mnmblu

Hey Mikey,

Just show me the line, braking and apex points and I'll take er for there Capt.

I been pushin these 911's fer 32 years, someone telling me how to do it right will just screw everything up for me.

Last STS, the instructor told me about that middle pedal. Amazing you can actually slow the car down if you press down on it with your right foot. I really was amazed however I thought the idea was to accelerate so I think I will keep ignoring that it's there.

How's the lovely weather in Chicago Mike? No track days, no golf... How can you take it?

Now, I had the exact opposite experience, my instructor, C. Wiles was da shizzle, knew how far I wanted to go with the car, and in the few times we got to take it out together, really taught me a lot. Also has one of the fastest POC times for the short track so . . . it was a great experience. My parade laps with Martin Supercup S., slow as they were were also really valuable. I actually should have kidnapped him and spent the entire lunch just learning lines. So, guess, it all depends.

And Alan, 32 years . . . no wonder you smoke me like salmon. 32 years ago I was gettin' my seat time on an 18" Schwinn Stingray! Now I don't feel so bad. See you Sunday, and let's get a lead with a Valentine.
