5/3 AX school at NH Motor Speedway. Cheap! Run by SCCA

There are some spots left at the autocross school on 5/3. It will be at NHMS.
Cost is $75, if you are SCCA member. If not, $105. Considering you will be getting a lot of seat time and practice (last year each student got about hour, from what I was told),this is a killer deal.

It would be nice to see some Caymans at the event, since I am usually the only guy at SCCA events getting compliments on my CS Got to share the love!

It is a shame I did not see any other Porsches at the event but the 924 Joe from NCR region drove.
Event was the BEST bang for the buck. I lost count of how many practice runs we got in slalom, kidney bean, offset, and other areas. Plus we had AX course at the end where we got lots of runs too. We were told we will get 40 minutes of combined seat time... they underestimated how much time we got on the course. We got a lot more. I am still sore from all the g forces. Instructors were PHENOMENAL!!! Event was organized to perfection.
I know this event made me a better competitor.
I am also glad it rained, because all our mistakes were amplified. I have whole new respect for Porsche breaks and PS2s even in 45 degree weather with rain.
I had one of the instructors show me how to drive my CS and I just realized how much more learning I got to do.

Sounds like a great event. Too bad I'm not closer or I would've been all over this. My local PCA chapter is running something similar called a Car Control clinic in two weeks.

Did they do any skidpad type work? I always wanted to learn how to correct in a skid/slide situation in a safe enviroment.

There was plenty of skidpad work Intended or not, since it was raining all day long, 45F temp, and most of us on summer or R-comp tires that were hard as rocks. There was plenty of sliding and spinning at the beginning, but by the end we were recovering and correcting our mistakes much much better.

Instructors made the event an absolute success. What a talented bunch!!!!
They had us separated in groups by what kind of vehicle we had (RWD, AWD, and FWD). Instructors also tried to take students who drove same or very similar cars to what the instructors knew the best.
I have had the pleasure to watch instructors I had compete in previous events, so getting seat time with someone you admired was just awesome.

Those guys could have been racing that day with the rest of the pros on the other side of the venue, but they chose to teach instead. I have a whole new level of respect for those gents.
