High Performance Driving Near you-a must do

Post by Bmakaz »

It has been a while since I was last on. Life gets really busy. Most will say no way, but I encourage any and all sports car owners to participate in High Performance Driving experiences. If you go to https://www.motorsportreg.com/ (facilitated via Hagerty) you can find events near you. I am in Arizona and have run my 2012 Callaway Grand Sport with the Porsche Club of America and super fun. I'm not great, but at least I am trying. I will say getting heel and toe technique down takes alot of practice to master it and if you want to test your nerves try slowing down from 100+ mph for a tight corner and having your foot slip off the brake pedal...... Sadly I will be having to wait until fall to run again due to work obligations and other crap.

Yes, I have gotten a number of rock chips but oh well they are bound to happen and at least they are being earned vs some truck on the freeway.

Would rather hear the actual motor revving instead of Mozart music. Makes your driving look slow.
Why the symphony music vs double D exhaust notes?? :wtf

Cheers to track days! :beer :h6

Yeah, I have to agree... the music was a mood killer for a track video. Way better to hear the supercharger whine :cool
