Had some fun with Hill Country PCA at TWS this weekend
Every once in a while, in my old age, I remember to turn on my camera. This time it was chasing a 997.2 GT3 and a 993 RSR. First time in 3+ years back on RA1's instead of my usual Hankooks, so there is a bit more car "movement"! 
Fun times with a great group & absolutely perfect weather!!

Damn Dave, that is a bumpy track! It really displays well how late the lead car is turning in and losing speed to you in the turns. The P-car is noticeably a bit out of balance.

Bob, it has gotten significantly bumpier in the last ~18 months due to our record setting drought down here.
Oh, by the way: it is for sale too.
Again.

Drifting
Didn't make it this weekend -- I'm jealous.
Thanks for the video!
Awesome driving. I'm PCA blue -- most of it looked like the "party line". Due to traffic, you took several lines through 10, I liked the really tight line, set up 11 nicely.
Love your 5-6 line. Hard to tell for sure looks like no braking and a relatively smooth continuous radius.
Seems they teach us more of a figure 7 sort of turn where you don't dive in quite so much on 5 but
drift out on 6 and its a more abrupt turn in. Seems to unsettle the car on turn into 6 that
if you don't "time it right" can get you in trouble.
That was with my 924S, next time out should be with my RSR -- a whole lot of learning to do there.

What a great weekend! Weather was perfect. A bit cold in the mornings but awesome in the afternoon. Tons of great cars out there (including that beautiful GT2RS).
I was also chasing down high powered Porsches in my BMW (in blue). Always feels great to get the pass from a GT3
I found mglobe out there but missed you. Next time. I've got the bug bad these days so i'll be signing up for December 3-4
Good driving there!

Not bad for your first time, dude!!! I remember your beautiful Spyder, you had Mark Crawford as your instructor, right?
I was in Red, I am an advance instructor for Lone Star, Hill Country, and Maverick PCA.
