Hey everyone,

I have talked to a few of you about what school I am going to head off to next. We'll I have decided that I am going to go to Skip Barber.

Right now it looks like I will do the 3-day school and the 2-day advanced school down in Florida this spring.

Would anyone be interested in going with me? Of course you don't need to do both.

I'm looking at flying down on the 26th of March and coming back on the 1st of April. I'm looking for something to do on the Monday that I have off between the schools. That will be Spring Break time in Florida.

I might be able to deliver on the cars with pretty girls attached to them that PJ keeps asking for!!



PJ, let's go!!!

 

sounds like a fun time! i probably can't make it but you KNOW we'll want some pics of you that do get to go!

 

You really are planning things WAY ahead of time? Spring of 2009? Wow!

Larry and I are heading to the Porsche 3 day driving school in a few weeks! Larry also went to Skip Barber at Laguna Seca last summer and had a blast. I didn't go because they won't/can't provide interpreters for me (I'm deaf for those of you that didn't know). In contrast, Porsche and BMW have always been good about providing interpreters for me.

 

I might be game as it's around time for my birthday. Got to give myself something nice right

 

LOL. Thanks to this merger, my next scheduled vacation is in March of 2010, but I will be there in spirit.

 

Well anyone is welcome. Here are the rough costs.

$3,399 3-day school
3,199 2-day school
200 6-days car rental
600 6-nights hotel
400 Southwest Plane tickets
7,798 Sub-Total

-640 Discount (20% off on the 3,199 advanced for doing both)
$7,158 Total

These are rough as I'm not sure yet if all of the various fees and taxes are captured.

 

Would love to go but that is around the time the baby should be makings his/her first apperance. Have fun and hopefully I can make it oneday

 

RB that's great. I look forward to meeting the little one!

Best,

Trevor

 

Why Florida? As opposed to Skippy's western locations. I'm already holding a 20% discount that must be used by next summer. I was thinking of heading back to Monterey. I couldn't do the 3 day school, because I'd have to lose about 30 pounds in order to fit in the car. I tried sitting in one at Laguna Seca, but I didn't fit. The scary part was when the instructor said, "That's OK we can take the body work off and get you in the seat then put the body work back on around you." NO FREAKIN' THANKS!

 

I can just see your face when they said that. I bet he was really nonchalant about it too......

 

I almost spit out my drink through my nose when I read that part. Thanks for the laughs, Larry.

 

i agree why florida. florida sucks. laguna seca is disneyland for adults. driving there would be perfect and it's 2 hours by plane and about an hour drive instead of 5 hours plane plus drive plus 3 hours difference in time zones plus florida bad food plus 6 hours home and Laguna is in Monterey/Carmel. The best place in California

 

I agree with both Larry and Mark. Why Florida? Go to Laguna Seca instead. I've ridden/driven on that track before and it is FUN.

 

where in florida? i guess i should ask. is it the panoz at sebring?

 

Sounds like fun but I am planning on going back to Birmingham to the advance Porsche Driving school in the spring - and have a deposit for a trip to Europe next September with a motocade of 30+ Porsche's thru 5 countries + the RING for three days!
