Send my best regards to him, and tell him to get that chin tucked in farther!!!!
Oh wait - they don't do that any more!!! And they've got girls there now!!!
Oh well, like we used to say: "the Corps has..." (i.e., GTH).
It's probably all for the better though, because it was pretty rotten when I was there!!!
Butt....it's an experience that will make him tough, determined, disciplined, and a hard worker who won't settle for anything but the best result from any effort he puts into every mission he's given!!!

This was also my 6th NCM and is one of the highlights of my year. Overall a great time, thanks again to Roc, Tom and all the others who helped to make this another stellar event.
It was great to renew past friendships and make new ones. Hope to see you next year.
Got a new GoPro but didn't do something right so just pictues of me looking at the camera. Ha Oh well I will try again.
Best to everyone, be safe and God Bless.

Some video from the Tuesday sessions in the Red Group. Driving around VIR with Kirk B. (GM) and Mike N. on a June day with amazing weather. Some footage running with JD and my buddy Matthew (#427). It was great to see everyone.

2 great lessons in the video here in preserving the motor:
1) You're short shifting is exactly how to make equipment last -- run fast laps by carrying speed consistently through the turns and not banging it off the rev limiter.
2) Using the brakes, not the engine to slow the car down.

First year at VIR and had a blast. Thanks to Roc, Bob, Karen and the entire NCM staff and help. Although I was unable to bring my 2010 Grand Sport down due to a fuel pump fuse issue the use of Roc's Cobalt made up for it. Look forward to next year. Only thing I would like to see (but I know it would be alot of work) would be like a get together cookout/dinner one of the two nights.

Might be possible...back in 2007 and I think in 2009 also, they had a dinner the first night. Dinner was in big room above the snack bar. I think this might have been a casualty of the economy...Porsche groups used to give T-shirts at every DE and they dropped that in 2009. I've only gotten T-shirts from the NCM group and 1 from TrackDaze after 2008.
