Planet 9

HAs anybody been to a Track Time 4 Cars event. I am chomping at the bit to get my Cayman S on a track, any track. The next event that I can find is one put on by this Co. at the New Jersey Motorsports park Lightning on June 12th. Am wondering if it is worth a 4 + hour drive to attend.

FWIW,

I was at NJMP a few weeks ago and met someone who did a beginners day with them. He said they were good, but he was a novice (like me) and had nothing else to compare it to.

I sent them an email asking for info and never got a reply. I am going to try PDA driving at NJMP on the 20th.

Thanks,

From the lack of response I am guessing not too many Porsche people attend their events. I am more concerned with getting quality instruction than with Porsche specific instruction. If I could get BOTH that would be awesome.

What is a PDA event?

As far as non-PCA events go, I've had 5 track days over the years with these guys:

Sports Car Driving Association - Performance Driving in a Safe and Controlled Environment

They have many track days in the NorthEast and I've learned a lot from their instructors.

Schattenbaum Region PCA is running at Lightning @ NJMP 6/17 and 6/18. Riesentoter Region PCA is running at Lightning June 26-June 28. I recommend both organizations. More info about both events can be found at MotorsportReg.com Lightning is fast and fun with a surprising amount of elevation changes for South Jersey.

Thanks Pete,
I have been to their website before and have also heard good things about them. Always good to hear reviews both positive and negative from users.

How does a PCA member who is not a Schattenbaum region member enter their events?

I am a jersey shore member and did schattenbaum's DE in april.

had a great time. very well run.

I have signed up for the 7/23 DE.

Not sure you need to be a schattenbaum member

If you're a PCA member, you can sign up for events in other regions as long as the event is not fully booked. Then local members will take precedence if any spots open up.

Each region has their own registration procedures so you'll have to jump on their websites and figure out what to do.

These two sites cover registration most of the PCA regions & many other orgs ClubRegistration.net
MotorsportReg.com : Online registration management tools for driving and social events

Thanks Diver.

Are you going to the DE event @ Lightning 6/17-18?

diverdog · #14 06-11-2009, 04:07 PM

No I'll be at Watkins Glen 20-21 with zone 1 PCA. I'll be at lightning later in the year. I like thunderbolt & I've heard very good things about lightning
