I will echo Nick's welcome to RTR. Nick's modesty precludes him from telling you his credentials, which are numerous. He is a very accomplished driver and Instructor. His advise to do AX's is excellent. I'll add a few words of advise (which aren't credentialed at all).
First, PhillySCCA runs a winter AX series so you can get a jump on learning your car handling for this spring. Second, I would suggest if you are going to AX in preparation for DE, you use the same car. At the risk of sounding to Zen, you really need to become one with the car. Again, my advise and 89 cents will get you a small coffee at WaWa, but as I have progressed thru DE, I have really become in tune with my car. Maybe not at first, but as your speeds increases you will experience (and be taught) that listening to and learning the feel of your car is just as important as what you see going on outside your car.
I live in West Chester and run a 968 for DE and own a 944. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
