Kathleen Wong, President of PCA UCR kicked off the evening by inviting everyone to visit the cars parked outside before daylight faded. There was a yellow Porsche 911 Carrera T, a red Porsche GT3 and a silver Porsche GT2 RS. After dinner, Jonathan treated us to a ‘deep dive’ on the technical points of these cars. His presentation was outstanding as evidenced by the level

When pulling back in, the instruc- tor spoke with the other instructors to discuss the weather and decide if they should continue. When he came back to the car, he said “You can continue on the track or not, your choice.” I said “hell yah.” Away we went, sliding and skidding, (in a controlled matter of course!) It was awesome. At that point it was time for lunch. During lunch hour, the freezing rain had changed to snow and did it snow! By the time we went back out, my Porsche Cayman S, with summer
