Nope! Must have been another track addict

RHENRIKSEN wrote:Purplehood, there's a wonderfully *legal* way to really open up your car, and have an incredible amount of fun - driver's ed events at Texas World Speedway in College Station. I've been active in the local Porsche Club region for about 10 years, and have been instructing at these events for about 8 years. Check it out:

You can drive 8 sessions a weekend for about the cost of one speeding ticket . You have to get your car inspected prior to the event (make sure it's not leaking any fluids, that the brakes are good, etc) and you've got to wear a helmet. You get an instructor in the right seat to keep you out of trouble (and teach you) on every outing, and several classroom sessions.

The next event is in about 3 weeks. Not sure if there's any room left in the beginner run group, but regardless you should come out & pay a visit, check out the scene.

Edit: you don't have to be a club member, or drive a Porsche. We have people turn up in all kinds of rides (Corvettes, Vipers, Japanese stuff, even econoboxes and sedans).

On a side note, Purplehood, what do you do for a living, and how do I sign up?
