I was in the Black GT3, and my buddy deputydog95 in his yellow. Super fun track, and we had a blast.

HeavyChevy - Want to thank you again for all the help. Your a badass instructor. Hopefully I made you proud going off road the first session....
Nick, you wouldn't beleive that I went off in the EXACT same spot today. Got ice mode briefly, going up the hill and couldn't stop so I straight lined it. Once I download my videos I'll send it to you, I thought it was extremely funny bouncing across the grass just like last week

Either way, you did awesome man. You are humble and willing to learn, I'd sit in your right seat any time man, even just to ride.

Why thanks Jenk! I'm still learning every time I go out there, but the best part is knowing you can always get better.

I waited too late and now there is a wait list. DOH! We gotta plan some events though. I need to get to Mid-Ohio. Talked to Andrew too, he's game, we just gotta find the right time. Going to call Kinetic this week and see when they'll be back out. Get that knee right so we can have some fun!

Heavychevy - sounds like you are a great instructor; mine was super nice but average as far as instructing. The one of the chief instructors that checked ride me for solo blue seemed more in line with what I would have wanted. But I did get to ride with Chris Harris in a 996 cup car which showed my a better line. Hopefully we can hook up soon.

going to the track is fun always, But having good freinds and nice instructors makes the day even better. Meeting fellow board members at a track is something I have yet to do but this coming summer I plan to meet as many of the people on the board at tracks and coffies as possible. Seems to be many great sperited bunch on here and Rennlist. I cant wait ~ this is going to be a long winter

BigAl, I would very much love to meet up at MOsport this summer, I cant wait to find out what all changes and see how it makes for a better track day. Ive already invested in a bunch of new gear and mods. Camera stuff and I have many more things to buy this winter. Who knows maybe a new car. It would be goodtimes to make some track vids and kick it on pitlane. You should try to come to ALMS mosport its sureal

That is just awesome! That spot made me **** my pants the first time. Glad nothing happened to the car though.

Cant stress to this board how good of an instructor HeavyChevy is. Picked up some good habits to use when I instruct at Sebring. I think if you email Joanna from PBOC she can squeeze you in. I'll email her to see if I can help. You gotta make it down....

Heavy didn't realize you were Nicks (Tutu's) instructor. Now I know why he almost P'd his pants after taking a ride with you. Wish I had known it was you would have liked to finally meet you.

PolarPorsche is infamous around these parts
I was down at Road Atlanta that weekend, 5 of us from Alberta, Canada. I was driving my Boxster Spyder (19) since I recently sold my 2011 GT3. I did miss driving the GT3, the Spyder was a blast but no GT3 by a long shot.

Had a great time, loved the track and hope to return next year. I managed to get the Spyder down to 1:42 lap so not too bad for a stock Spyder.

The Greek, I think your Black GT3 went flying by me in this video clip around the 5:55 mark.

Good fun, thanks for the video! The top speed on that thing is really impressive. The car is slippery it's really neat to see the speed it gets.

I doubt I'll make it, I was disappointed with my times this weekend at Road Atlanta relative to my previous times, so I'm focusing my efforts on running 1:26's or better in 2012.
