Yes, join you local PCA and do some DE's and AutoX's. For example, they are about $25 for AutoX's and $180 for DE's in the Chicago region.

Membership should run for 12 months from the time you join. It costs about $40 and then you local region may charge about another $25.

blkboxster, if you purchased your car from a Porsche dealership, check with them too, as they may sponsor some track and driver education events. They usually just charge a fee for insurance coverage to offset some of the expenses for the actual event.

PCA is a good thing

...good on ya for joining...also, don't forget to ask for your 10% parts discount at your local dealership...that should help you justify the 40 cost of entry...

also, i tend to agree with bmussati...the best and safest way to make your porsche faster is to become a better driver...the ax and de will have driver instructors there that will walk, ride and even drive your car for you showing you what it can do when and where on the track...it's a great experience and well worh the entries and time...

there is alot of performance in there....just not stop light drag racing performance...

good luck...

cheers,
