My son, Mike P from work (1995 993) and I attended GGR ground school in prep for the High Speed Driving school at Infineon Feb 19th. No 914's in the parking lot but Howard (Kermit) was there on his bad boy Ducati. Great in car video of infineon with turn by turn breakdown wrong line vs right line. Gee, those walls near turn 10 seem awful close to the track! Definite gastro intestinal butterflies for me watching the in-car video. Also some Laguna in-car with a engine failure and resultant 944 fireball and cool but rapid off into the sandtraps at turn 6 right in front of the video car . Pucker time. The wife says that my son and I can run the Boxster if we want at the event. With both the 914's out of commision which should we run? Boxster or 78SC? Not fond of beating on the 911.

Thanks to GGR volunteers for the class.
