that car has is too softly sprung...lots of roll. Nice looking car though - where's the wing? The Atlanta course is a glorified go-cart experience - not worth your time or money. JFYI.

Do you ever have anything positive say? You clearing have no idea WTF you are talking about. I know you've never driven that car and I doubt you have turned a wheel at the PEC. The pictures were to enjoy and have a fun engagement with positive people.

Stand down my northern enthusiast. Yes, I have driven PEC. Yes, I am a National PCA driving instructor and Peachstate PCA is my "local" club. Yes, I say positive things all the time (and even did in my posting this morning regarding your car).

Tom: It will never happen, most likely, as there is no racing, no high speed potential at the facility (certainly no racing) and size and viewing space is a poor match. PEC is for marketing to customers and potential customers - not race cars or exhibitions. The location that WOULD be considered is Barber Motorsports Park (Porsche Driving School is also located there) - it has everything needed for a successful Reunion!

Regarding the Armco and facility - they are not doing DE's there and it wouldn't be possible anyway. The "instructors" there are doing more babysitting and selling cars via the experience than anything else. There is NO HPDE aspect to the program. Several of our PCA instructors - the suckers who work for pennies - serve as "driving instructors" at the PEC. The service is outsourced and is not run and operated by Porsche NA directly.

Yah I'm just an enthusiast. The claim of being a PCA instructor explains a lot. So mister expert, what track expansions are planned for the "go kart" track. FYI the ridiculous wing and splitter were removed since only PCA allows it. My cars are now running in HSR. Kind of nice the R8 talk site doesn't have the negativity you post.

I hope you have a great weekend.

PS: I do apologize if you took offense to being called an enthusiast...no offense intended by it all. Damn! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
