Sorry to see this! But great to know that you are fine and no one was hurt. Looks like a paint job and everything will be fixed for sure and you will come back to the track soon

The blue group is pure fun: open passing with point by's, fast and fluid traffic, good camaraderie. The red group requires a lot of experience. I think I'll be happy in blue for a couple of years.

They run a great show. Perfectly punctual, very professional, caring whenever there is an issue, treating you like an adult and the quality of their instructors is very good.

I have run with other groups: Hooked on driving (great for novices, more 'familial' and a bit slower in a sense), Rezoom (a bit wilder, but fun) and car clubs" BMW, PCA, Audi. So far BMW has been my favorite,

Oh man that sucks!! At least you are OK and the damage does not seem to bad.

Did you have track insurance?

Yes, I always have track insurance. Let's now confirm how they will agree on the appraisal, what the deductible will be and how will they look at my eligibility for coverage in the future...

Wow, what a footage! Seems to me rest of other traffic behind you kept moving??? Anyhow, great to know you're well--I guess it's all part of the experience and now you could quote this incident too!!

Bummer - however, as you said...it is inevitable over time as you improve. Glad you are OK. And glad your son let you borrow his car (haha) <does your son go to Cambridge? if so, my son is a Sr. there as well>

Serge, this certainly is a bummer as others have said, the worse part is you without your PCAR, which is your DD as well. Let me know if you need the name of a good PCAR body shop in ATL area. I have one that several friends have used and have been extremely satisfied with their work.

Sorry to see that Serge. I know Performing Imports does a lot of Porsche body work, but I've heard mixed things about them. For future reference, what shop do your friends recommend windboat?

I got the car to Hennessy and they work with Performance Auto Collision. I have been very happy with both the dealership and the bodyshop in the past, so I trust them.

Thanks for the advice!
