There are several other PCA guys running non-P cars as well.

Are you an instructor for Central New York PCA?

Jas0nn,

We are in 944 car #509. Garage 20 pit stall 28. This is our fourth race with AER and I hate to say it but it's more fun then the other place. I will try to stop and say Hi.

NYoutftr,

I am an instructor with CNY but have not been doing it for sometime. Hope you get into the 48hrs, it's a great event with some great folks.

I better not hijack this thread anymore, BUMP for the Porsche Clash!!

Awesome, we'll be two garages over in 22A/B - we're also running an e46 m3. I've done five races with AER and really enjoy it. Actions speak loudest: I'm skipping the PCA club race at LRP the same weekend! I'll make sure to say hi ...

If I do get in, (on wait list) am I paired up with an instructor who is familiar with 996 or is it generic matching?

As more instructors sign up, the wait lists will clear. You'll be just fine with your instructor pairing and you will have a great time. There isn't really anything peculiar to a 996 that requires it to be driven differently on a track than other cars.
