There are the predicted five local guys great! More then anything that shows me this is a well run event with great instructors. Not that the other instructors attending aren't good, I just feel better that local guys are adding credence to the program.
Gordon to help put a person with a car, I am the red 964 that was at the SP NCC BMW event with the 'loud' car. BTW, she isn't loud anymore. Spencer is a very coachable kid and I know is looking forward to the event. I would like to sit in on the classroom with him then if you guys need a hand I would be happy to pitch in where needed.

I believe parents are encouraged to sit in for classrooms and to pitch in humping cones, just asked to not interfere with actual instruction or be seen to be "overbearing/checking up" on their spawn.
Can always send an e mail to organizers asking for PCA guys!! Dirk

Of the dangerous stuff we discuss with our kids; bullying, drugs, suicide, etc they are more likely to be killed in a car from 16-18 years old whether they are driving or not. Moreover, they need to be confident enough to tell someone else not to text, etc in a car.

How does Street Survival compare with an HPDC? Tina is already signed up for the HPDC in September and the saw today's PCA post and is considering doing this next one on July 26 as well. Thoughts?

I think Street Survival would be great to take first; the HPDC is a level or two higher overall, and includes track driving.

Next Street Survival is the BMW/Porsche event at Sykesville on June 7. It is like doing the morning HPDC exercises all day (including skidpad).
