Photos from Porsche Sport Driving School

I entered an essay contest for Porsche Cars of North America and I ended up getting into the Top 20 Finalists. The link below will take you to the site where you can vote. Mine is on the second page - "Paul - Norwell, MA" You will need to enter your information. Seriously, this only takes a minute and I would greatly appreciate it.

The prize is pretty much been a life long dream for me...An all expense paid 3 day trip to a race track where I get the pleasure of professional instruction and the chance to flog 5 or 6 brand new Porsche's around the track. Mind blowing for me. I begging all of you to vote and maybe even convince your contacts to vote for me too!

Thanks in advance and I'll keep you posted!

Paul

~~UPDATE~~
I attended the Porsche Sport Driving School last Wed and Thurs and it was the most thrilling experience of my life. I'm going to do a write up over the next few weeks and edit the videos but here is a link to my Photobucket album of unedited material. The museum is at the park and houses the largest collection of bikes and there is a very impressive collection of Lotus Race cars among others.

Nothing like pushing a brand new Carerra S to near its limits. the highlight was the hot lap with none other than Hurley Haywood in a GT2RS at about 140 in the straights. I had perma grin for hours after that.

Yes it would be cool if we both won so I can wave at pjs in his turbo while I blow past him in a turn with a regular Cayman or base Carrera!

Well, I won one of the 3 spots, I can't believe it. I'll be sure to post some pics and video after I attend.

Thanks to any fellow Pelicans who voted!
