Default Tremblant: a big thank you to the organizers and instructors!

What a great weekend ! This first timer (and very green driver) couldn't have enjoyed this weekend more.

A couple of takeaways:

1) Driving a 930 on a track is challenging
2) C. Rouleau was a fantastic instructor
3) Have met a ton of great people
4) I want to do it again

Cheers

JS

Could see from the smile on your face you were enjoying yourself.
Welcome to the slippery slope!

P.S. Just so you know, Chris is "the worst" instructor you could have got!

Thanks JS! I have to say, I was a bit nervous getting a green student in a 79 930...that is normally a recipe for...at least a black flag. Turns out it was all good though. An open mind and someone ready and eager to learn made it easy peasy. Driving in and driving your car was a treat to. It's too bad we had all the rain since we were just getting into some boost and fun this morning. Next month...
Dwane, I'm pretty sure JS was running more than 8.5psi on his 930...and that car is not easy and predictable like a 944. Just saying.
Also, I assume you found your stuff in the tent.

Too bad so many left early. The rain stopped and we ran open track after 3:30 PM in dry conditions!!!

JS I remember you from Ground School, glad you had fun!

Best,

Did you give him the T shirt or just a kiss on the cheek and a promise to call?

I was visiting my parents and saw some of you leaving at the gas station at Ryan and 117 Sunday around 1PM. Saw some sweet cars passing by after a wknd at the track.

Driving to Tremblant from Toronto and turning back around the next day isnt fun!

I hear ya! I don't wish that sick feeling I got that last 24 hours on any one! I will have the House on wheels with attached Garage for the July to Sept DE's so the food should be readily available but I may just pop over anyway Since you haven't managed to get the Coffee machine to the track I can offer that and room in the fridge if you need to keep a few items extra cold.
