Default Potomac PorscheFest

This past weekend was Potomac region's annual PorscheFest. We host a 3 day DE, Fri-Sun, and Autocross on Saturday. There's a catered BBQ dinner Saturday night, that's terrific, and included for all DE participants but has a big turnout with family and friends coming out for the day. Taste of the Track is run Sat & Sun and has a huge turnout, so big that we have dedicated 20 minute sessions each day.

The best part of PorscheFest is the Wounded Warrior program! We host Vets and their families on Saturday. Volunteers escort families and cruise the paddock so they can hang out with the drivers and check out the cars. Vets and their family members, including kids, can get ride alongs on the autocross track. And then the last track session of the day is for hot lapping with the Vets. They absolutely love it and the instructor have as much fun, if not more, than the Vets. I was honored and fortunate to give hot laps for two Vets and it was a blast.

I struggled with understeer all weekend but that's a normal complaint of mine at SP. I was too busy to change my sways in hopes of finding more front grip. I only have video of the 1st day because my wife took the camera, in her Cayman, Sat/Sun. I think I ran a second quicker on Saturday by tossing it more in the carousel rather than trying to build momentum like you'll see in this clip. Sorry the SmartyCam is having an audio/video sync problem where the audio is playing slightly ahead of the video.
