I'm Back!

[AZ986S]

After a couple years of being away form 986forum, I've decided to post an update.

My first track event was in Sep 2016 and now I've completed 54 HPDE events.
I started instructing for PCA Arizona in late 2017, then also with NASA Arizona around the same time. So now this is my 3rd full year instructing and I just completed MSF level 1 and MSF level 2 instructor certification through the Audi Club SoCal event last weekend at Buttonwillow. So I now also certified instructor for ACNA and will be at their SpringMountain event next spring.

I still drive the same car with the same setup: 02 Boxster S with a track setup. It's been a GREAT car, and still is. I would have to say that the setup I have just feels excellent and I don't feel a need to change it (except maybe a few more HPs ha ha). It is well balanced, neutral handling, is fairly cheap to operate, it keeps up with more expensive cars, and, if the worse were to happen. it would not bankrupt me. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to move up to a GT4.... lol

I sometimes think about where this is leading me, and I have a partial answer... I think instructing is giving back and I enjoy doing it (most of the time lol). But maybe it's just me getting older, but I'm not super interested in TT or wheel to wheel racing... I find plenty of enjoyment pushing the car and myself on the track in a somewhat safe environment, all the while having a goal for each session, be it focusing on being smooth, nailing heel-toe, improving other techniques, mental imagery etc...

I suppose I'll try to visit more often and give back to this community...

Cheers
