Getting ready for my first DE - Roebling in Savannah, GA Sep7-8th

Some pictures from this weekend:

My run sticker.


My son James that went with me and the car.


There were a lot of really neat cars there. My son James has most of the pictures so once I get them I'll post, but one really neat car was a Miata owned by one of the instructors named Scott Wrigley. My other son has a Miata and Scott gave a lot of good tips and advice about those cars. Right behind the Miata is a 2014 Cayman, that thing was awesome!


There were a lot of 911s, a few Corvettes, Miatas, Caymans, Boxsters, a Cobra, a GT2 (maybe a couple GT2/GT3s), and a *ton* of 944s. My son James is angling for a 944 and so he loved those!


This last one is me and Roger Janson (on the right), my instructor for the event. Thanks Roger!

A performance Driving school is highly recommended and will give you a lot of confidence knowing the limits of the handling/tires in a variety of situations, wet,dry and under some G's.

I've been to one and its totally worth it to go.

Its guaranteed that you will be a better driver because of it and the racing line theory part of it is priceless as there are a number of counter intuitive things you can do to get around the track faster, and understanding it will make you a better driver/racer.

Its also so much fun that some people go more than once.

I just found this video which is an interview with Frenchie, the master mechanic that was helping me at the track:

A Day at Roebling Road Raceway with Porsche of Hilton Head- Meet "Frenchie" - YouTube

It is a pretty cool video. Thanks Frenchie!
