    Perhaps some of the regional Ferrari club and/or Lamborghini club members have seen this already.

    Ferrari and Lamborghini Club Track Day
    Wednesday, June 18th
    Portland International Raceway

    http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.cfm/event/event.advert/uidEvent/369A18A9-CE62-CD5F-674E5EA6D5D2FDEA

    This was originally intended to be a members only event, but due to a lack of apparent interest I/we are opening it up to anyone. Pricing was $495, but we've made a few adjustments, and are now offering the event for $350 per person.

    The event is being hosted by Autosports which has a great reputation at PIR, and also hosts the Sunset Porsche/Audi Owner days and the Carrera Motors Owners days.

    Please direct any question about the event to me at [email protected]




    Summary of the upcoming Autosports day.

    Classroom session - Basics of high performance driving. Will learn about brake zones, “the line”, proper use of eyes. Will include a bit of auto tech (F1/CC gearbox, ABS, traction control, etc.) and its use on track.

    AutoX/Handling course - NOT your normal AutoX course, but one designed to emphasize car control. With both wet and dry sections demonstrating the need to adjust to changing conditions and thinking ahead. Some sections are designed to let people feel ABS activation.

    On-Track session - High speed/high performance driving. 1 on 1 instruction with the same instructors throughout the day to ensure continuous driver development. This is where you apply the basics learned from the class room and autoX to the big track. You will have an amazing amount of on track time- approx 3 hours total of 1 to 1 instruction on the track.
    On a case by case basis we are allowing people to bypass the classroom portion and will have an open track session first thing in the morning. You must be pre-approved in order to participate in this opening session.

    This is not to be confused with the RTGT day, 2 days prior on the 16th, right?

    So I was wondering-can I use the gift certificate we bought at the Cannon Beach auction to do this?

    I was thinking of bringing the SLR and getting a good learning experience with it.........










    before Mr. A.D.D. gets rid of it. :D
