SCCA and Porsche classing aren't always to the advantage of the Porsche. Much harder to do well in the big pond with big fish...especially for the aircooled cars.

Bill, the objectives were for the instructors to teach us how to work at the events and drive autocross. This was my first for both. Overall They did a very good job. From my perspective, I got tons of one on one instruction, lots of drive time and the golden opportunity to chase cones. Winning.
If I recall correctly my first instructor Sean was great. He knew my car well and was very good telling me what to look for and where to improve. At the PCA event upcoming I'll take advantage of ride alongs and ask for instruction until I get the hang of the course than see how I do alone. So I reckon I got more than my money's worth. Even if there weren't more Porsches

I found the same thing at the NASA (road course) competition school.

Who'll be at AX school next weekend?
The wife has found about excuse not to go, I've already done a few AXs, and Dominion has a Driver's Club day that same day (of course). But, my previous AXs I've been anonymous, so I'd be nice to put some Dorki faces to names. I am signed up for AX1 too, though, so maybe I'll just catch up with folks then...

I'm instructing at the AX school on Sunday. I'm also instructing for the Chesapeake AX school, which is on Saturday.
A whole weekend of riding in passenger seats!

Still undecided whether I'll be at Dominion or Bowie - it may depend on whether I can make it to OG Saturday to finally get a legit helmet and driving shoes...and peruse all the other goodies kid-in-a-candy-store style. From the website, it appears OG has grown significantly since I stopped in there in '06. If I'm a no-show for AX School, does that go to the waitlist, or only to walkups? If not to the waitlist, I'll set a go/no-go to sh!@ or get off the pot.

Don't worry about a helmet -- we have some you can use.
