Did the northwest region scca novice school #2 today with P71 (in his rx7 though). It was really good. I've done 2 auto-x's with the OR porsche club and i learned a lot, but this school I think really stepped things up for me. The biggest thing for me was learning to be more on the brakes and how to trail break. I can't wait for tomorrow so I can try some of my new techniques with the porsche guys. My best run was a 38.060, about 3 seconds off the 'leaders', but a tenth and a half faster than mike(p71). I got lucky and all my runs were dry, half of mike's runs were wet though. I improved by about a second and a half over my best run before being humbled by the instructor. We will try to get pictures up soon, but it'll be after the pca runs.
Anyway, just wanted to say if anyone gets the chance next year to go to one of these, I highly highly recommend it. 18 runs for 40 bucks, plus all the instruction you can ask for. If I can learn and improve, anyone can.
