About this event
Come join the Porsche Club of America, Golden Gate Region for Ground School, Saturday July 11, 2009. This ground school preceeds our Rolling Thunder Event at Thunderhill Raceway Park, August 1 & 2nd. Detailed information regarding ground school requirements and track events can be found at http://www.pca-ggr.org/node/20.
Ground school consists of a half-day of classroom instruction and video. The purpose is to introduce you to our Driver's Ed events, and to what to expect when you attend one. You will learn how we run our events, about the on-track instruction program, and what you can expect from your fellow drivers. You will also meet other club members who are starting their track career. You do not need to bring your Porsche nor will the cars be driven or inspected at the ground school.
Class runs from 9:30 AM sharp to roughly 2 PM. [Attendees must be on time to receive credit for having attended the ground school]
Where: Round Table Pizza, 157 East El Camino Real, Mountain View, CA
(in the shopping center at the SW corner of Grant and El Camino, conveniently located near 237 and 85 for easy access.)

Event requirements
Open to PCA members interested in learning more about GGR Driver's Education/Time Trial series and competitive/performance driving. Ground School is required before participating for the first time in any GGR Driver's Education events, regardless of entrant's experience. We encourage you to register (if registration is open) for a driving event before taking the ground school; however you must have completed the school before the driving event takes place. Due to the popularity of our events, space for first time attendees at a driving event is limited, and completing the ground school does not guarantee you a spot in the next driving event. We send out acceptance notices to first time attendees one week prior to the driving event.
