newbie introduction

[michael lang]

Hello everyone, I've have been lurking on this website for the last couple of months anxietly waiting for the DE registration to open & I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Michael Lang & I live about an hour north of Wash D.C. I have wanted to own a Porsche for atleast 20 years prior to my purchasing one. I have had mine for about two & a half years. It's an '89 Carrera that has only 56k. Just a garage queen before I got. My driver training has consisted of HPDC with Potomac (that when I got the bug). I then autocrossed a couple of times with Potomac & once with PCA CPA (I really started getting the fever). Last season I did every autocross event with PCA CPA (Mark Bolt really taught me alot) and a FATT event at Summit Point (I'm so hooked now). I go to Summit Point several times a month from April-Nov during track season, it's easy because I'm less than an hour car ride from door to track. This season, I've decided to do less autoX and focus on DE. Although I may not get out as much, I feel I am at the point in my training that I am ready for the challenges that DE gives. Last season was excellent because I really focused on momentum maintenance and traffic management (when I was on the autoX course I used the cones as traffic).  This season my goals are to become very smooth, especially in the area of momentum maintenace. My instructor at FATT was very impressed at how well I did at listening and following instruction while on the track. I understand, that doing anything in life takes less time to learn if you just emulate what other successful people are already doing successfully. Thanks for listening and I really look forward to getting to know you guys this season.
