Ladies welcome!

There's also a lower speed event happening Saturday, June 19, at the HPD Academy facility. Also put on by PCA. Lower cost, lower speed, and in particular targeting teenagers. Adults are welcome too, but we'd really like to get 16-18 years olds (who are at high risk of fatal accidents) out there for some solid training behind the wheel. No helmets required for this one. We do 8 different exercises over the course of the day. There's about a 1 hour lecture at the beginning, and you'll have an instructor in-car with you all the time. No helmets required for this one.

Nope! Must have been another track addict

Purplehood, there's a wonderfully *legal* way to really open up your car, and have an incredible amount of fun - driver's ed events at Texas World Speedway in College Station. I've been active in the local Porsche Club region for about 10 years, and have been instructing at these events for about 8 years. Check it out:

You can drive 8 sessions a weekend for about the cost of one speeding ticket . You have to get your car inspected prior to the event (make sure it's not leaking any fluids, that the brakes are good, etc) and you've got to wear a helmet. You get an instructor in the right seat to keep you out of trouble (and teach you) on every outing, and several classroom sessions.

The next event is in about 3 weeks. Not sure if there's any room left in the beginner run group, but regardless you should come out & pay a visit, check out the scene.

Edit: you don't have to be a club member, or drive a Porsche. We have people turn up in all kinds of rides (Corvettes, Vipers, Japanese stuff, even econoboxes and sedans).
