Message from Dave Scott...
Dear Ferrari high performance driving enthusiasts:
Well, as I promised the other day, it's here!! Thanks to hard work by Kerry
Watson and Mark Bryant of the Hill Country Region, PCA, registration forms
and information for
our Hotter 'n Hell Hill Country Drivers Education event July 13/14, at Texas
World Speedway are
now online at their web site, http://www.hcrpca.org/track/deevent.html.
Registration is now open to all interested participants. You may submit
your registration and payment by snail-mail, or electronically, however
there is a small convenience fee for the electronic application and payment
to cover the higher costs inherent in this method.
This event is open to other FCA chapters, too. Grady, Mark, Rob--please
encourage your folks to join us as well!!
As I've been telling you, we are testing a new joint club event format for
DEs. This event will use the great PCA instructors (and hopefully a few
others) but will have just two run groups, Instructed, and Advanced, plus an
instructor's run group. This format essentially combines the traditional
green and blue,
and yellow and white groups but offers significantly more track time each
day. In fact, each day will have about 50% more track time than typical DEs
at TWS.
So what? Well, this format allows participants to come to one day instead
of two and still make significant progress so for the first time in this
area a single day option is available. Those participating in the full
weekend will get the equivalent of 3 days of track time under the
traditional DE format.
Another great benefit of this format is that it allows spouses to each drive
one of the two days and still allows each driver to make great progress.
The rate for the event is a little higher than a regular DE, but we will
have
fewer drivers, and more track time for all. In fact, on a per-minute of
track time, the weekend rate is the same as typical DEs. So don't miss the
opportunity to make FCA history by joining us at this joint club event on
July 13/14 in College Station. We expect this event to fill up so don't
delay!
Please make sure you read the "Special Information for Ferrari Club Members"
section on the registration site. We are also looking for volunteers to
help run the event. DEs require lots of volunteers to make the event run
smoothly and this one will be no exception. More information about
volunteering is also
on the www.hcrpca.org web site. Please also read the FAQ's for info on
directions, hotels, and almost everything else you will need to know.
Please also make sure you print out the tech form and get it filled out
before the event. A list of shops that will do tech for little or no cost
is in the FAQ's.
I hope you will take advantage of this great opportunity to learn to be
better high performance drivers along with the Porsche Club, which has
really opened its motorsports passion and event know-how to us! We look
forward to seeing you on the track on July 13, 14, or both days. Please
email me back,
or email the contacts on the registration site, if you have any questions.
Best,
Dave Scott
President
