Have a great time. I recently saw a video of the track form a person I met at the concours last week. It looks fantastic. Be careful. And if you can make a video please do.

It was absolutely fantastic. I had the only 997 (S or otherwise) but there were several 996's and GT3's there (not in my run group though). The track is B-I-G compared to what i'm used to, 3.5 miles vs. 1.5 here at Limerock where I will be in August. It is also full of compond curves with apex's (and cones) you can't see until well into the turn. Your car (i'm assuming it's a 997) will ASTOUND you with what it is capable of. You will grow to love certain turns as you learn, my favorites being Turns 5-9 (in the Boot) as well as the speed up through 2,3,4 (the S's) to the back straight. My instructor was fantastic, I couldn't have been matched with a better guy, though I think most of us there felt the same way. One word of advice. LISTEN. After your first run you most likely will wonder what the HELL you are doing there... shake it off and stay focused. Do what your told.. by the end of your second run you will be counting the minutes to your third! Thats the way it went for the guys I talked to, let us know what happens for you.
I'm already signed up for two more days at Limerock, may grab more in between!
It's GRRRRRREAT!!

The glen is the best track in the NE, LR sucks in comparison( it's life may be short anyway if the locals have anything to say about it), I'm going to Pocono next week, the LR in August, have fun, it's what your car was made for.
