What about one GIANT sweeper around the tents starting from turn 2 all the way up to turn 8...could be a really nice "don't lift" instructional tool for the students. And, it would most likely require a shift for 99% of the cars so that would be a great lesson in smooth inputs having to shift in the middle of the a fast sweeper :rockon:

Hey does that mean I am finally getting some competition in X class!! That will make winning 1st place actually mean something!!

Hopefully all the bimmers does not make PCASD X class become an endangered species! :shock:

Since my DD is an M Coupe I am in the BMW club and run the Elise in their events in X class too. It would be GREAT to get some PCASD'ers to come out to those events in X class (but only if you are slower than me that is :D ). They get a good turn out in X class, usually 8 to 12 cars.

The next one is Oct 17th.

See you guys Saturday!

... and for those students who don't learn that lesson, we've already had one demonstration that Porsches can go right through the fencing after the tent! :shock:

Hey, hey, HEY! Watch it, Kim. Suggesting I now have "the big honkin' engine" in my SC is just not accurate. :nono: My engine does not honk ... my horn does. :shock: :roll:

If you want a "honkin'" car, talk to the Avitts (I'll let you figure that one out). :beerchug:

See you on the straights. :lol:

Mark, you miss-spoke: it's not "...taking over part of the parking lot." It's actually " ... taking over most of the parking lot." FYI. :wink:

Good thing the price for the lot didn't go down. :banghead:


Dan, I don't see you on the driver's list for the AX...
You still nursing those welts you got at Button Willow? :wink:
Hey, I'll even run the little 225/245 RA1's! :burnout: :burnout:
