Early Porsche Track Day - Pacific Raceways - Seattle - tbd, planning a track day at pacfic raceways . . . want to see 914's there! Options

[piscean914]

hey guys - i am posting this to see if there is any 914 interest in having a track day at pacific raceways?

in the "old" days up here, you could count on numerous track days, such as with the alfa club, bremerton sports car club, etc - over time, days got numbered - now the alfa club doesn't even run at pacific, and it stopped doing days in portland last year -

i know lots of folks over the years who did the track days, mostly in old air cooled porsche's - i think that there is enough interest to put on a track day, and it would be great to see the 914's well represented there:

i have spoken with don kitch, jr, who is one hell of a nice guy! he runs proformance racing, and he would be setting up the event

- here are the options - the most chance for availability of a friday or saturday is between now and mid-march, before the clubs get the track - monday and tuesday are closed "quiet" days - wednesdays and thurdays are much more plentiful, and don also has "twilight" sessions in the summer, from about 4 pm to 9 pm

- don will have some coaching/clinic stuff for between sessions, but he understands that a bunch of us maybe signed off "solo" at this track or have significant track experience, and we want to drive!

- don will do a continental breakfast and lunch for the days, and a bbq for after the twilight sessions

- don needs a minimum of 25 folks to keep this in the $250-$295 range for each guy (the more guys, the cheaper) - the sessions will be 20-30 minutes, and there should be 3-4 sessions with 3 separate run groups - if things thin out after lunch, the groups will be combined with more chances for track time

- don said he would get back to me with his calendar - i will post dates

- so here is the deal, i don't want to waste don's or anyone else's time, so it would be great to for any interested 914 person to check his or her calendar (when we have dates,) check your 914, talk to your track day buddies, and be ready to commit, if this track day is to really happen!!!

- again, i'm not the organizer - if the date is set, then everything will be completed directly with don!

thanks again for being part of the dream . . .

i know what you mean - i know of one 914-6 racer that use to be out there alot - i run my 914 at the track, as well as my 356 outlaw and early 911

PCA (PNWR) is a great way to learn how to drive properly on the track, as well as to get signed off "solo" on various tracks - i know of at least 2 dozen guys in early porsche's, and after time, we wanted a less formal event, with less folks than what they run at PCA - the alfa club used to have the best days, they let you take passengers, just 1-3 alfa's ever showed up!

it would be great to get as many early porsche's together as possible, in a smaller setting, with more time on the track, and time to hang out, check out the cars, etc

and i hope to see jeff soon - i have his wheel and a tee-shirt for him!

cheers, brad
