Great write up. Thanks. This needs to be posted in the 997 forum too.

 

Great idea...I'll re-post this there too.

 

Can you take along a passenger on the performance courses? I don't see anything on there website saying yes or no, but on the winter driving school it says "for non-driving guest" and lists a price.

 

Yes, you can take a guest with you although I'm not sure how much the fees would be to do that. Try contacting them about that.

 

There were a couple of folks who brought along friends and or family. The PDE accomodated them by letting them ride with an instructor on the track, but not during the various excercises nor with the student. I believe they also went along on the off road exercise in the Cayenne's. The real key here is the instructor staff made sure EVERYONE had a good time.

The Ross Bridge Resort and Spa would also be a great place for the wife and kids to enjoy the day while you were at the track. It has an excellent work out room, indoor and outdoor pools and hot tubs. There is an excellent golf course at the resort as well as several others nearby. Here again the hotel staff was very responsive to the guest's needs.

 

Let me add another thing that several of us enjoyed, and that was getting to put a "face" on some forum members here who attended the class. Lots of great people to enjoy a super event with. It was great fun, and like Jason I'm looking forward to the masters school, although I would hardly consider myself a master of any kind of driving.

If there was one downside to all of this, it was returning home and having to resume the agonizing wait for my car (keeping my fingers crossed for a June delivery). After driving these great cars it has made the waiting that much more painful.

 

great write up man ...... +1 for u atomic

 

Awesome writeup! I wish they offered something on the west coast...Did they harass you for that BMW shirt?

 

As a matter of fact they did...

I wore a different shirt on the second day.

 

Don't let the location stop you! The R/T airfare from Seattle is only about $260 and should be even less expensive from your area.

 

I've signed up for the Master's course on April 26-27 so I'll be there AGAIN! Expect another write-up with even more pictures.

 

DAMN! You've forced my hand! I had to sign up too. I can't afford to let you get to far ahead of me. Now I have to wait until the end April for my driving fix, and until the end of June for my car. Waiting is the S**t's! And stop laughing, you're spending my money again.

Hope to see some of you other sicko nut cases there.

 

I'll be driving out and attending the Masters in April!

 

Are you coming on April 26-27 as well?

 

thanks for the write-up - i've been on the fence about attending this but i see it's something i should just do.
