Thinking of coming tomorrow night. What's the skill level in each group? I usually go intermediate or advanced, though it's a slow car, so depending on the overall skill level that changes.

I've been in the advanced group the few times that I've been out and I've kept up with the talent. I have probably done about a dozen DE days at Cayuga and Grand Bend but would still likely be in the beginner group at the PCA event.

It is a pretty casual night so you could probably drop down to the other group if you start to feel like you are slowing people down.

I coach soccer on Thursday nights but that ends mid-July. I'm hoping to go frequently after that

Another great night at Grand Bend Raceway. Porsche was represented by a Boxster, Cayman, Carrera and GT3. Ben's 911 ran well first night out. Next run, next Thursday Evening.

It was a superb time on the track -- Thanks, John, for showing a greenhorn the ropes. Your GT3 is an amazing machine
I'll be there next week

Rain for tomorrow midday, but looking to clear up for the afternoon. Anyone else going out for some Grand Bend track time?

Gowyn is planning to be there with his 2009 Boxster that once was my car. It has Spyder suspension, PDK Sports Plus programming and he just added a Fabspeed Exhaust. This his second time out with it. He will be running with you, Ben.

Three 911s, one Cayman R and one Boxster at the Bend tonight. We ran the SCREAMING ALIEN Circuit because the SOAR Motorcycle Series is running this layout this weekend.

I'm going to run my Cayman R next Thursday Night.

Let your Porsche off the leash at Grand Bend Raceway.

The SCREAMING ALIEN was a very enjoyable track lay-out. Perfect weather and decent Porsche turn-out.
That Boxster had some pace and was certainly keeping my C4 honest
Looking forward to next week.

We ran the Mod Circuit last night. Three 911s and a Boxster represented Porsche. I tried a stiffer front sway bar adjustment last night on the GT3 which made the car push.

The Pits were crowded with the Vintage Motor Cycle Series' early arrivals for this weekend's event.

Diane from Porsche of London informed me that their August 14 Track Day will be rescheduled because that weekend is the rain date for the Mopar Nationals Drag Race which was rained out last month. Diane said there are a lot of preregistrations for the Porsche of London Track Day. I will post the new date when I find out.

I was going to run my Cayman R last night but will run it next Thursday evening instead. I hope next week's weather is as good as last night.

Is anyone driving down from Kitchener/Waterloo for Thursday nights? I'm leaving in a minute but otherwise it would be nice to drive down in a group.
