I think there's still a few feet of snow in the forecast for late May...

I'll hit some of these for sure this year.

Congrats on the GT3! I know it will definitely get used the way it was intended to be.

Saw your old car at the dealership. Looks great.

The Saturday Porsche of London event is Porsche only, Pre-register by contacting the dealership.

Thursday Evenings are open to any car. I sometimes bring my Honda S2000 CR as well.

Thanks. Looking forward to see your GT4 Cayman.

I met a 911 owner from Tecumseh who is planning on trying Grand Bend Raceway Car Lapping this year.

Any other Windsor Area Porsche owners planning on joining in at the Bend in 2015? How about from Chatham-Kent?

I just added all of those dates to my calendar. Hopefully I'll be able to make it out for many of them :-)

Sorry for the total newb question (I have never been to the track before), but aside from $60 and a tank of gas, what other expenses should I account for to join one of these events?

Do I need any lessons or certification to enter at the beginner level?

The car has good street tires and fresh brakes. It is an 08 911 C4s.

Thanks!

Just Pre-enter for the $60 price and come to the Bend. No experience required for the beginners group, but there are more experienced drivers who will assist you. Bring a helmet or you can ask to rent a helmet, they have a couple. I will be there most nights, so PM me when you plan on going and I will introduce you and try to help you.

Why do I get the feeling that after one trip to the track, I am going to find I have a new addiction to feed?
