John: Matt is a frequent PRC racer. You might call him and see if he is coming to the races at Infineon on October (where this sick puppy will be doing the 4 hour enduro).

Reno is an hour or so past (east of) Truckee on I-80 (so 4-5 hours from Walnut Creek)

Carlos, I believe that technically it's just after the Porsche's at the Point ends. We finish our PRC event and then there is the NASA/WERC 4 hour enduro that starts (including many non-Porsche cars).

It is going to be one heck of a weekend. I wish I had a passenger seat. I need some coaching.

John, Reno is 200 miles straight freeway from W.C.
About 3 to 3.5 hours.
By the way you passed me on the way to T.Hill last time, it'll be about 2.5 - 3 hrs for you.
Just watch out for chp where 680 meets 80 after the ramp near Suisun.

Instructor assignments are out ...

Jon, if you are still watching your thread, you will be well cared for by Warren Walker on Saturday Morning.

I don't see a coaching request from Eric or John (mooty)

My car doesn't have a passenger seat. It went to a friend.

I will be taking in car videos and hopefully have my (your ex) Traqmate set up. We can go over the film and data. Trailer coaching!

My car is getting work done on it. Kevin at Performance Art is fabricating brake ducts for me.

All I need now is a bigger motor.
