I saw on the "other" TSX board that you and some others had a meet-up at Southcenter, which I wanted to make but couldn't. I'll try to make the next one.   Was the BMWCCA event costly? I've wanted to try something like that, that or a driving school at PR. I've certainly watched enough races there, and I've always wanted to cut a few laps. The TSX is the first car I've owned that lends itself to that sort of driving.   I was wondering about your co-driver, not realizing that he was there to check you out on the track. Driving solo would be a blast.   The heel-toe downshift technique is something I'm just starting to mess around with, and I'm finding it to be a bit tricky. I'm afraid I developed some bad habits over the years, but getting all the downshifting done before entering a turn makes a world of difference. I'll just keep working on it. It's one of the best things about owning a car like the TSX, the immersive quality of the driving.   Anyway, sounds like you had a good time.   Cheers

Actually, a couple of the "instructors" at the BMW club are also full-time Proformance Driving School Instructors.   You'll get the same training at a club event as you would with the PR driving school.   The "Novice Training" at Bremerton is $75 for a whole day of autocross, skidpad, emergency braking, etc. Once you've been signed off, you're next step is the "Novice Track Day" at PR. You get about 90 minutes of total track time with an instructor for $125. After you're signed off at PR, you're ready to solo.   I plan on attending these "Novice" events on a regular basis even though I'm now solo certified. The training is just too good to not keep up with (and there is always room for improvement, no matter how well your skills are honed).   Yeah, the Southcenter meet started as just a casual hook up with me and "Stokeless." JTso showed up too and we promised to do it again. I'm going to try and keep that other thread going and plan a "real" meet later this spring.
