    Talk about eye control, Tom's attacking the track while I'm trying to watch behind us.

    Here are just some comments taken from the emails we're receiving after the most recent Performance Driving School:
    ---------------------

    The instructors were all great and I had a wonderful time.

    Saturday events were great and only thing for me was if it was possible each of the five training courses could have been twice as long.

    . . . every new student should experience the thrill of being in the right seat with Mr. Bob Ehrman in control on the left.

    I think that the school was awesome.

    I want to thank all of the volunteers that made this past weekend so enjoyable and educational, but especially the instructors that are not only talented drivers but also great teachers!

    My wife . . . was reluctant to attend, but her smile grew wider with each passing hour - priceless.

    This was the most revealing weekend for my performance driving career. It was an absolute 10 all the way around.

    . . my instructor Keith (The RS America Guy) . . was the perfect instructor for me.

    I had too much fun to be objective about what to change...let me think it over and get back to you at a later date.

    I would really like give praise to David Marguglio for his instruction on Sunday. I thought he did a great job, and that I really improved my skills under his instruction.

    The boys at Porsche would be proud!

    This was my first school and I found it to be fantastic.

    I'm a better driver thanks to you guys, my instructor Jae Lee, and all the other instructors who built my confidence and experience with the exercises from Saturday.

    Thanks a lot for the driving school. I had a BLAST! I enjoyed every exercise thoroughly and was impressed by the "professionalism" of all the instructors.

    My daughter and I had a great time and learned many things our cars are capable of we had no idea about. Unfortunately, it was too fun and I may have to take up the autocross thing in the near future.

    You truly have an impressive team. Thank you and the only suggestion I have is keep doing more of the same

    ....it's also the fastest and SAFEST way to find out exactly how much one does not know about how to drive their 911 near it's designed potential.

    Just ask me how I know.......

    I hear ya Johnny. I attended a DE last summer and the instructor thanked me in the end for scaring the sh*t outta him. As a first timer who can say he's been there, done that...street racers can toss everything they 'think' they know about performance driving out the window and start with a clean slate at a DE event.
