Who's going to teach me how to drive this beast?
 
Hey guys,

Alright, my dream car is now insanely fast and handles on rails. Where should I go to learn to really drive it?

I'm in Gig Harbor, WA. I hear there is a local driving school that is well respected, but wonder what experiences others have had.

Thanks,

Willcox

Skip Barber at Laguna Seca seems to be the closest reputable "Driving School" to you. You could also go trough your local PCA region and if you have done a DE already, you could do the advanced DE etc.

You are right. I haven't done anything with the PCA yet. I just need to take some time and do it. Thanks

Sign up for DEs with the PCA.

What's up bud? Haven't see you at the track.

Do you guys drive your own street cars at the track or are you driving track cars? How many people stack up there daily drivers?

My GT3 is my daily driver and I take it to the track. An extra set of wheels & track tires always helps.

i have been working a lot and my car has been at the doctor for 1.5 month....don t ask...:), I am going to try to do a track day next friday and see how the car and me are doing:)

vincentdds Jul 21, 2006 11:43 PM

There were several 996tt w/Gt700 at the track last month. Lots fun. I have a feeling yours going to be real fast as well. Hope to see see you there sometimes.
