Sounds good. I think Toby and Mark (and others) would be up for it also. We might want to see if we can rent slummit for a day instead of a DE. A day before an event would be ideal, but not sure that can happen. I think w/ a DE the number of drivers would be very limited..probably only 1 for red and 1 for black, maybe 2+2 (after what I learned last time). Maybe we could hire Chris + another if we got enough interest depending on the format.

I've only been to WG once so maybe we could look at that also? Something like kojote or whatever it is called w/ open track for 2 days. Would like to figure out something esp since we (Chris and I) didn't get a chance to work on driving too much, mostly car set up....but lots of that.

Put me in the definitely interested catagory for an event in the Mid Atlantic if you guys can stand a 200HP car...

Ok, emailed Chris about how many he can coach depending on the format. I have a few others over the last year or two that also asked to join next time he is out this way. Last time I made the mistake of asking too many people and it was thin time for the 4 of us....but that was at a DE. Open track would help.

200 hp is no prob, I have 255ish. CC coached TD in his 944 na way back when. He probably knows the specs on a 356 and how to set up.

Although everyone would have preferred more time with Chris, I think all of us were able to take away a lot. I know the time that I spent with him paid dividends in my driving.

Chris likes to only have one person in each PCA class, so unfortunately there's no room for you, Dan. H class is all clear, though!

Guys, the Glen is a great track and Chris certainly knows it, but do you want to be pushing your limits with blue bushes all around?

Jim, I'd be up for this too. If you guys can get certified with the BSR group we could do it at a " seat time " at SP. The track is basically open for test and tune from 9am until 6pm. And it's 200.00 a person .

Then I guess you're out of luck Mark... Chris took a ride with me on Friday The non-compete clause for G-class expires in 12 months.

Unfortunatlely, I only spent 20 minutes with Chris all weekend (he was crazy enough to ride as a passenger with me for one run session). From the passenger seat, his arsometer felt enough to recommend a few adjustments to my sways and dampers. Next session was 1/2 sec faster than best lap time at T-bolt (despite crappy conditions and hoo-hoos with >20 heat cycles). I'd really like to get a chance for more individualized coaching next year.
