Wayne,
My very first RTR event was your Spring Fling in 2008. Up to that point I had only been to a few meetings where "AX" and "DE" were always discussed. I felt embarrassed to ask about theses acronyms during the meetings. At the end of our drive,several 968 drivers approached me to look at my 944. So in this more private setting, I asked what these things were. They explained about autocross and drivers education, and referred me to RS Barn for service and more information. Pete Fitzpatrick checked out my car, found it fit for autocross and told me not to be dissapointed as it really lacked the needed power.
He was right and suggested I buy a 968 if I was serious about track events. I started DE in the fall of 2008, finished my first full season last year and was promoted to blue group at our last RTR event In October.
So, because of you and a few others, I am totalling addicted to Porsche motorsports and now own two of these fine cars. How's it feel being the pebble that is dropped in the water, and starts waves in all directions? You should feel very satisfied. Your hard work is appreciated and missed. Thanks, and I am looking forward to another one of your excellently organized and executed Spring Flings.
All the best,
Mike
