DE = Driver's Education = An excuse to get your car on a track and get some advice on how to drive it really fast without killing yourself.

Oh yeah, it's also an excuse to get a fire extinguisher, helmet, and race seats for your Boxster!

Hmmmmmm, mental note. Fire extinguisher and helmet these may come in handy riding with my wife.

and accurate.

DE= Driver education--just like Randall said. Nelson's Ledges track has what they call a fun day--no instructors, no tech, you just bring your car and a helmet and go around the track.

The EBR Porsche club, which we belong to, had a DE there earlier this year and my wife and I both drove the new car and had a great time. these get to be addicting..

I've attached the link if you think you might have an interest; we're going on 10/14,weather permitting.

I would really like to come and watch. Im not real sure if I want to put my car through the paces just yet.

you can enter the track area and watch the event. I can bring an extra helmet and you're welcome to ride with me if you want.

Yes, Im going to come. Sounds like a great time.

Ok gentlemen, it's on. I bought my ticket and have most of the day to look at your Porsches, ride in them, ooh and ahh over a supercharged engine (and I mean that literally, not as a joke!) and have a nice relaxing lunch with you all.

Please do not make fun of my rental car. I got the cheapest one I could get and I think it's a Hundai or a Corolla. The Mustang GT Shelby that Hertz had was a whopping 195.00 a day and while I thought it would be fun to show up in it, the wife had this frown on her face when I showed her what I wanted to rent. She made a good point. Why not take all that cash and save it for a SC kit?

The voice of sound reason speaks again, and it's not the little voice in my head!

So what's left now is what time we will meet and where. Someone nail it down and I'll be there.
