The Porsche Club of America, Carolinas Region is having several Driver Education events at CMP (Carolina Motorsports Park) in Kershaw, SC during 2009. The 1st of these is being held 02/28 - 03/01. There is an open event in May (05/16-05/17); another open event the 1st weekend in October. These events have open registration and 'piggy-backing' with PCA eliminates a lot of headaches in setting an event up like this for our marque.

So, consider this as a possibility to drive your XFire on a closed-course circuit, gather some owners together for a fun-filled weekend and, for those of you that have added performance improvements, see how your XFire stands up to other sports cars that will be attending.

I've attached a course layout graphic below and added some links to respective websites:

Too far away for me, but for anyone in the area who has never done this, I urge you to take the opportunity and have some real fun with your Crossfire. I've been on a couple of different road courses (this one looks like a fun track, too!!) and it's a blast. The Crossfire is a very capable car in this environment and you'll learn a lot about it, and about yourself.

 

Thanks very much!

I'll have to look into this...
