It's in Bremerton, WA, and hosted by the Porsche Club of America:

Has anyone been to one of these before?

We're showing up rocking a Versa and a Saab, not a Porsche. My wife doesn't have much interest in racing or autocrossing, but we're hoping she'll learn some better car control at the limit. She seemed pretty freaked out last year when her car spun around in the snow, so hopefully a class like this will provide some practice and confidence.

As for myself, I'm just excited for a chance to hoon the Saab around some cones.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Sounds like fun. I bet your wife is going to love it. Once you're in a controlled environment all that stuff becomes way less scary and you can learn without worrying about hitting a tree.

That's what I'm hoping for.

I wish this was closer, I'd bring the my Saab out as well.

To be fair though, with the bargain basement tires I'm running and a few years of autocross/track experience under my belt, pretty sure I can get close to 9/10ths on my way in to work each day. Especially when it's cold and wet.
