I'll be there with the 924S and looking for an instructor. Tony P??? I'm not looking to rush things, but I'm hoping my Green days are coming to an end. Then again, I've only spent two days on Shenandoah, and that was 3 or 4 years ago. On the second day I felt like I had some idea of where I was going.

^^ Yes, but anyone can email chiefinstructor[at]pcapotomac.org and request a specific instructor. No promises that you'll get your wish but it's worth asking.

I had planned to be there as this is one of my favorite tracks, but troubles with the newly rebuilt engine at the Jefferson 500 had me cancel. If I can miraculously figure out and resolve the problem, I'll try to re-register (hope there's still openings).

I'll be there. Looking very forward to it -- haven't driven Shenandoah before but it does remind me of a very technical track I used to frequent back in AZ (lots of blind, off-camber corners, early/late/double apexing, etc). Got to learn all about trail-brake oversteer and four-wheel drifts at speeds that aren't terribly fast.

Also, quick question: I have been watching a number of videos online to help me learn the track and I've noticed that there are a number of configurations the track can be run in (e.g., omitting the chicane on the back straight, running the Range Straight, etc). How are we planning on running it? With all the bells-and-whistles?

Second question: what, would you guys say is the average corner speed for a 944, just to help give me some context as I watch the videos?
