WATKINS GLEN RECAP
A huge THANK YOU!!! to all of you who attended our Watkins Glen DE and made it another SOLD OUT EVENT! We had great weather, except for the Tsunami that came through on Saturday at 3:00PM. See the Vehicles of the Month for a couple of our attendees’ vehicles!
Please consider joining us for our last two events of 2009 as listed below!
BeaveRun DE Saturday and Sunday, August 22 & 23 Sponsored by AUTO PALACE of Pittsburgh – For the first time we will be using the North Track AND the Vehicle Dynamic Area (VDA) for a more complete educational experience! This DE is especially designed for Novice Drivers who will benefit from the use of the VDA to learn skills that will then be applied on the North Track. Experienced drivers will benefit from more track time as a result of the use of the VDA and will be allowed but not required to experience the VDA exercises.
AUTO PALACE is our sponsor for this event and will have a number of new Porsches on display for your examination. Please come to the event and check out the Porsches and drive some free parade laps at lunch time!
Mid-Ohio DE Saturday and Sunday, September 26 & 27 – This 2 day DE is a must! If you have never driven Mid-Ohio it will quickly become your favorite track. We will also be offering a Mid-Ohio Lapping Day on Friday, September 25th. This Lapping Day is for VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVERS only. If you would like to participate in the Lapping Day please complete the registration for the weekend DE (you must attend the weekend DE to be considered for the lapping day) and check the box to indicate your desire to attend the lapping day. Your experience will be reviewed and if you are eligible you will be sent a Lapping Day application.
