Do they still close out the Master's course with a hot lap in a CGT?
Definitely the high point when I attended...watching Jeff Purner pilot, whilst I enjoyed the vista from the passenger seat.

There's a name I recognize. Jeff Purner, David Murray, Cass Whitehead and John McCracken (RIP) were my driving instructors at the Road Atlanta Racing School in 1989.
We were driving the "new" 300ZX at the time..

just returned from PDE
Just finished the two day PDE at Barber MSP yesterday on the 7th. A great program run by true professionals. I can only imagine that they have their share of track mishaps, as the best part of the program is that you get to run the cars pretty aggressively. They are true pros and figure out quickly who they need to keep at slower speeds, and who they allow to pick up the pace as the course progresses. On the second day, as I was running the Carrera S around, I was thinking it wouldn't be all that hard for a knucklehead to run off the track and do some damage. It is a race track, and sh*t happens on race tracks. I remain impressed that they run a program that allows participants to hang it out there a bit, and that the lawyers have not dumbed it down to the point where you can't get your heartbeat pumping.
They did rollout the GT, but the ride was reserved for the cute girl who participated- can't blame the PDE guys for that call.
