Subject: Weekend DE event at Blackhawk on Aug. 16 - 17

PCA members and friends are invited to participate in the Milwaukee Region’s driver education on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 16 – 17, at Blackhawk Farms Raceway (just over the state line in South Beloit, Ill., five minutes from Beloit, Wis.).

You can drive either or both days. Pricing: Saturday ($200), Sunday ($200) and running on both Saturday and Sunday ($380). Full details, including how to register, are available at this link: http://www.porschepark.org/events/de.php. Novice and seasoned drivers are welcome and encouraged to join us for a weekend of track time.

Never tried DE and want to learn more about it? If you haven’t participated in a DE event before and you are a new member within the last 12 months, you can take advantage of special new member pricing through our Taste of the Track program. This will allow you to get a taste of what driver education is all about.

In this beginner program, students will be assigned to an instructor for the day. The Club will designate qualified Driving Instructors. You will then be required to attend the morning Drivers Meeting, observe the Tech Inspection of cars to be driven during the event and attend the novice class room sessions. You will then have the opportunity to ride with your assigned instructor during his or her run groups. You will not be allowed to drive your car, but will experience from the passenger seat of your instructor’s car, what being on the track is like. Your instructor will point out and teach you how to drive "the line" and how to define what that is. You’ll learn the braking points and when you should be on the gas. Our hope is that you will be better able to decide if participating in Driver Education as an actual driver is for you. Helmets and proper attire, which includes long sleeve cotton shirts, long non-synthetic pants, and closed-toed rubber soled shoes are required. Helmets can be borrowed. All this for the small fee of $35! More details on Taste of the Track, including a registration form, are available at this link. http://www.porschepark.org/journal.php?id=77

Good Evening Fellow Track Junkies:

With the arrival of continued lousy weather, it appears we may never get back on a race track again. Alas, hope springs eternal!

Just quick reminder of our 2008 track days and the likely addition of one more at BeaveRun near Pittsburgh. As usual, spots are filling fast. The 2008 track dates are below:

Putnam Park - April 21st (TAX FREEDOM TRACK DAY)
Autobahn Country Club - June 2nd (Full 3.56 Mile Track)
Autobahn Country Club II - August 18 (Full 3.56 Mile Track)
Blackhawk Farms - September 13 & 14 - (Our 1st Weekender)
BeaveRun - October 11 & 12 (Tentative Date - Hope to Confirm Very Soon)

Registration is available at: http://www.MVPTrackTime.com/id47.html


Per the usual, expect abundant (six, 20-minute run sessions per group) track time each day and our signature lunch each day. With all the political geramandering going on, a day at the track, away from the office is just what the doctor ordered.

For details on all MVP Track Time track days, visit us at www.MVPTrackTime.com or feel free to call me at (314) 249-3770. Happy Motoring and I hope to see you at the track!
