My student was in brown. George Evans, I believe, in a 996 twin turbo modified to 600HP. First time I've instructed in a car that literally slammed my head into the back of the seat. Students were great. Always fun watching them learn and of course, the smiles.

Hey there,

I must say that I had a blast at my first track event! Thanks to all the organizers, and it was good to finally meet some people. Tony P has some pics posted online: http://tonyp.smugmug.com/gallery/2717267#144071898

I didn't see any at the PCAP website yet.

Hope to see everyone again soon!

The weather was wreaking havoc on our Internet connection since Sunday, but it appears my pics have finally uploaded (Thanks StoneCold for getting the link posted earlier! But looks like something happened during the internet glitches, and it was mistakenly hidden under last year's PorscheFest gallery. The correct link is now: http://tonyp.smugmug.com/gallery/2717267/1/144071898) Unfortunately, it was a busy day Saturday, and I was limited in my opportunities to snap pics; wish I could have gotten more....

We lucked out with the weather on Saturday, and I think everyone had a great time. My son Brian had a blast driving his first track event. He was thrilled for the experience, and couldn't believe how much he learned all the day's activities. Unfortunately, a deer decided to mess up one instructor's 944 Turbo, but the damage was relatively minor (ironically, I had a fender in his color, and he came by to pick it up on Sunday ). And way to go Laura; volunteering to help turned into a seat in the class!

I look forward to seeing everyone at the Autocross on Sunday, April 22nd at Baysox Stadium!

Tony, Great Photos! (especially the one of me!!!).

Here are the photos I took. Much lower resolution than Tony's but, hey, if you're in them, you can't be in too many

It was great to meet some of the Dork’s Saturday and nice to see some old friends as well. HPDC was a lot of fun, my instructor was very patient and by the last 25-minute session the hot laps were a blast. That old BMW still has a little kick in her.

And your son's "no wheels off" recovery when it started raining was very impressive!

Welcome to the world of multiple registrations....
