I didn't. But then again I have no concept of what "black" is out here. We just do events like what's coming up Monday--track open for 7 hours, go out and drive. Be extremely courteous no matter if you're 30 sec/lap quicker or slower than who you're encountering. Practice bump drafting your SM or Spec E30 with your buddy. We're just so inclusive in CA!

I wouldn't worry to much about that list as you still have way more car then any of us could ever drive (but I do think you should order that 997 TT and I will be happy to instruct you in that ). I think the main thing for you is seat time and and continuing to enjoy your car and your new friends!
I do think you need to work on giving the passing signal as we never had to give it once in two days ! Looking forward to seeing you in October my friend!!!!

OK, who is the next newbie! MTOSI perhaps?
Thanks for the kind words Jay....it's all in the teaching master!

I'm really looking forward to that trip: you hear nothing but good comments from people who've gone.

I try... but sometimes, like the finest gem, i'm overlooked. Yes, it was a bit of a jab from the past.

He was signed up for our event, but he didn't show. That isn't going to help him get into black.

It was, the one time it really mattered. And he hasn't been heard from since.

Sorry for the threadjack. Yes, Barber is one of the finest facilities anywhere!

Righteous!

New blood to corrupt with adrenaline and track addiction.

I wish more newbies would post. I miss the good old track days where I was young, impressionable, excited, and slow. Now I am just old and slow.
