Thanks! I'm a bit of an IT geek myself but this is beyond me.

Would be happy to orient you to the facilities and introduce you to the big wigs (like mglobe 
). Seriously, he runs the mentor program - relevant to both green and advanced drivers who have never been to TWS. You can return the first timer favor some day - I'm originally from south Louisiana but have never been to No Problem. Have often thought about it since I have family in NO, BR, Laf, Alex, etc...
As far as the track, there should be a signup sheet for yellow to request one of the advanced instructors; you might try to get on that list first thing Saturday morning.
A few of us post HD vids from TWS on Vimeo. A little better quality. Here are a few of my vids that will at least give you a visual. One from each direction.

By the way, looking forward to meeting you guys at the event. This is my first PCA one, I have been attending TDE's and started with the supra nationals last year, some of you may have come across me, Slate grey 996TT. Normally sporting the number 5, this time 151. I am a red group TDE guy (white PCA equiv) and so far have been assigned green, white and now blue group on this sign up because I am somewhat unknown and will need an instructor to place me in the PCA heirarchy. (I am not moaning about this by the way, I understand the standard practice).
Please come up and say hi if you see me there, since I have zero idea on who you guys are...
Couple of pics to semi-identify me, the wheels will be black at this event though..

Look for us too. I'll be the one in a 996. Wait... let me fix that.
I'll be the one in a 996 parked next to my tow vehicle.

That was the lone instructor running with the DE guys at last year's club race. Jack Smyth. He made us all look pathetically slow, didn't he?
Yep, and his foot won't be able to simulate ABS, and his brain won't be able to simulate PSM. Other than that, he's pretty much achieved parity with a TT.
So you'll be the guy in a 966? Cool!

Do you know if the S2000 was stock? Yes, he did make you guys look like you were standing still, impressive.

I'm not sure, but I doubt that it was stock. I think TR6 has ridden with him and may know better than me....

My numbers are fairly flexible - that reusable vinyl is handy.. But hopefully judgement will be passed and i will be up in yellow/white (I am a red in TDE) after my PCA initiation run in blue with an instructor for a evaluation. I was moved in to red with TDE by one of the PCA instructors, so I am not a total unknown...
