Did a local PCA driver's skill day today. Accident avoidance, skid pad, slalom, a large oval skid pad, short AX, and a much longer AX. it was definately the most fun I have had in my car on a single day

The skid pad was wet and over that crap the drag racers use for burn outs. Slicker than snot. After about the third try I was trying to spin the car to change directions (never pulled it off but I spun enough to get car sick).

The large oval was more of the same except we crossed the wet snot in 2nd at about 4 grand. Wish I'd had a rev limiter. I found out about valve float but I didn't leave any pieces behind.

The smaller AX I spun the car in a right hand sweeper in second hard on the throttle. I'm not gonna fear that anymore. Just a lot of smoke.

The highlight of the day was the second AX course. I heal and toed from 4th to third then to second for a hard left with a little trail braking. I couldn't do it again in a hundred tries but I pulled it off once. The instructor said "You're drivin the shit out of that little car".

Do one of these if you can

Next month back to the real world with the veteran AXers'

Feelin pretty good for now

Dave, you make it sound like a blast! i need to get my car sorted out so that i can do one of those courses. too bad you were driving and not taking pictures!

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!
Those are my favorite comments to hear about 914s and their drivers!

IF you zoom in you can see the tire and track spray on Dave's fender!

Wow!

Sounds like a great day to learn car control.

Wish I could have come by the track. We were in the process of repairing a pulled exhaust header on the 2.7 in the 914. We used a TimeSert. I hope it holds.

Glad you had a great day.
