It has been quite a while since I have updated this. Damn, since before I did the DE at NJMP, in October!
Summary of the DE event at NJMP:
Day 1:
My Instructor was Gregg Wilson... great guy, great instructor.
My car performed well, except that it was overheating (230°+), ugh. So I could only stay out on track 2/3rds of each session. Got the 911 up to 110mph in the straights.
Day 2:
I got the 911 up to 116mph in the straights! What a difference a day makes.
After the 1st session I was signed off to drive solo... at my first DE! I was stoked... then I got on the track alone and totally froze up. I was getting passed left and right. It made a huge difference being in the car alone with out any instruction or confirmation that I was doing the right or wrong things.
I got off the track and went to talk to Gregg, he told me me that it was natural to freeze up like that the 1st time out alone. Then he said, he signed me off because he trusted that I would do great on track alone.
3rd session was a different story, with a new confidence, I went out there and made some passes myself. that final session was amazing and I had such a great time. Thanks to my great instructor, Gregg Wilson of Annapolis Porsche and my hot engined 911SC.
