2006 Autobahn
What a wonderful event - I have a lot of people to thank but most
of all the participants.... we had 15 novice drivers at the Performance
Driving School, and they listened, took instruction VERY well, had
a blast, and drove the dickens out of their 928's!
Every car left without incident and without damage - what could
be better then that!
Thanks go out to the Instructors: Mark Anderson, Randy Faunce,
Phil Kalameros, Joe Stiffel, and myself. These guys were GREAT
- and the lucky attendees got tons of time with whomever they
wanted.
We had SO MUCH TRACK TIME in fact, that several of us ran a whole
tank of gas thru the car, went and added more, and went right
back out. Seat-time, seat time, seat time.
Instructors could and did ride with the students to offer tips
en route, and sometimes the instructors drove the students car
with student sitting in passenger seat to show the student what
their car could do, and sometimes student s wanted a ride in one
of 3 track cars there to see what THAT was like.
AT THE MONDAY CAR SHOW:
we had a nice mix of early and late models, 16v and 32v cars.
BEST IN SHOW went to David Olthoff and his beautiful 91 GT, which
also won BEST 32V STOCK 928 class.
