Ok, some fine Gents have posted some valid excuses......and of course we will will miss you.

We will also miss the guys that are too far away.....but remember where there's a will, there's a way.....ship your car and fly out.....if you truly want to join us!!!!

And for the rest you without plans or excuses for the Oct 26-28 weekend, sign up ASAP and join in on the fun.

Cheers!

Watching a delivery is pretty gross!!! When the placenta came out fk looked like a bloody red dripping breadloaf. Never seen so many different colors of fluids oozing out. Mike

I got the death stare from her when I was talking on the phone with my tech about my LWFW conversion when she was in early stage labor on kid number 1

Congrats PJ.

You guys crack me up. Never truly completely lived the delivery experience until you have to sew up the episiotomy. Oh the days of being a medical student.

So...actually DJN misread an earlier post I made thanks to his beer goggles on at the time But it's all good. We've talked and I've ruminated on it and we are willing to take on up to three (now one gone, two left) total track newbies if they are willing to sign up for all three days. Doug has volunteered to accept the lion's share of work to getting you launched on your soon to be illustrious DE Cup careers

Doug is long-time BMW and PCA instructor and incredibly great person in general and I've done SCCA TT/CT/PDX instructing for two years (some total newbs) so if you want to try your Porsche on a great, safe track, this is an incredible opportunity. It will cost a bit more as we have to invest time in you- $225 per day (includes lunch).

There are at least four other skilled, fantastic, awesome, credentialed instructors attending and we are all registered and fully paid drivers for the event so we are volunteering our instructing/advice-giving time. The currently registered but non instructor credentialed drivers are all skilled experienced trackers who know their way around a road course.

If you want to be one of the chosen few- email me directly (Pete@Trackrat.com), please do not register using the link. Tell me some relevant facts and let's see if it would be a good fit?

LOL! ......Actually, it was the morning after the night before, and it was fine Californian wine followed by some of Scotland's best Single Malt! Hic!

Ok, "newby's" here is your big chance! Contact Pete ASAP.

Cheers (Hic!)

Default OK Not sure I can resist

This looks like the event to run and always have wanted to try Reno Fernley.

Will know the next couple of days if I can confirm for Friday/Sat.

Any tire service close to track? Got lot's of Yoko scrubs but only one set of wheels and thinking I might need a swap mid weekend.

Engine and suspension back together but the driver is a bit rusty from lack of track this year.

Would be great to finally hook up w/ this crowd.

My wife is OB and I have delivered my share before finishing residency ... so bring your expecting wife and we will include one free rennlist diaper bag
