I will totally be there. It shows as a private event on the LR calendar. Should I reach out to anyone? I mean the guys at the gate all know me because I always get a season's pass, so I can get in.

I should have qualified it as a PCA metro event with registration on Clubreg. It's a solo only event from 12-5 with 2 groups. As long as you are solo with another group you are more than welcome.

Sorry, don't mean to hijack this thread, but I do have an oil question, which may help the OP.
Talking about using fresh oil for track time, what is the thought of using a higher grade oil for the track? (i.e. if running 10/40 go to 10/50)
I'll be doing some Time Attacks, and I'm thinking of a higher grade for cooling purposes>

So I have done several events just not with the Porsche. I had an S2000 and later a mini cooper S that I used. I still consider myself a novice because I never put many of these events together. Doing one a year really isn’t much experience. I can carry some speed though but I would keep things toned down since I have never tracked the car. It’s also the most expensive car I would have tracked.

Autocross training will get you guys tuned into the brakes, tires and steering of your 996. Just a good warm up for the track and a good time to make sure everything is functioning properly.
Novice DE day will be a full day of classroom instruction and track instruction with an instructor sitting in the passenger seat all day. Great event.
We pretty much have track days every month from April thru October. its an active region with 80-100 cars at an event with typically 4 run groups.

Well timed thread as I'm looking to bring my 103k mile 1999 to the track. Officially beyond the safe limits of the canyons now, and after two gruesome crashes this weekend (you may have heard about the gtr rs and gts which had its engine ripped out of the car, because it did a uTurn on a canyon road, and the gT3 must have been well over 100mph), think it was a sign to get a move on track prep.
