Guess who is auto-crossing May 1st? Me! going to go to porsche club auto cross and spend a day focusing on speed and steering input.

I wish Someone would draw a diagram on how to attack a pivot that is at an angle greater than 270 degrees. I suck at those.

Hmmm. Never had an issue. I have not put any in this year though, so it is possible that the van has a new challenge associated with it.

Some time over next winter, we'll be looking for a replacement. That van only has like 25k miles on it, but it lives a very difficult life of brief usage, and about 5 times more weight than it is rated for.

No. We are unique in that matter. I think it is a huge draw for us that we allow it. For PCA, the only passengers allowed are students taken out by an approved instructor.

Andy, you wont even be able to jump in anybody else's car as a passenger. They consider it an unfair advantage. This is the reason why we opted to allow everybody, so that you cannot call it an unfair advantage, if you have the ability to also passenger.

Dunno if it's lame, but no passengering is the norm for most clubs. I feel it adds tons of camaraderie, and much more learning experience.
