Or\, perhaps\, a long term member getting back into Porsche-related activities?  Are you inter ested in expanding your Porsche experience into more exotic realms? Would you like to drive your Porsche ‘spiritedly’ without the risk of runnin g afoul of the polizei?\nIf you’ve ever dreamed of driving your Porsche at speed\, feeling exhilarated by its performance and learning to take ful l advantage of its capabilities\, we invite you to get a head start on our 2019 track season by attending NER’s Driver Education Ground School on Saturday\, March 9th. This is NER’s annual classroom-based introduction to our Driver Education program and again is being graciously hosted by Co dy McLean of HMS Motorsport at HMS’s facility in Danvers MA. Additional information about HMS and directions to their facility can be found at ww w.hmsmotorsport.com.\nHMS Motorsport started life as a New England regiona l center for performance tuning of Mustangs and BMW’s\, and has since gr own to become the industry’s leading safety equipment supplier to profes sional\, amateur\, and beginning drivers. They sell only the finest equipm ent that will fit the end user’s needs\, and pride themselves on firstha nd experience with the products they sell. HMS has cultivated a devoted cu stomer base that enjoys their honest\, down to earth representatives and c ommitment to making track driving as safe as it can possibly be. Included in this customer base are the vast majority of NASCAR Sprint Cup\, Nationw ide and Camping World Truck teams\, many IRL\, ALMS\, and Grand Am teams\, as well as countless SCCA and Club-level racers and driving enthusiasts. HMS can be found at regional race tracks throughout the Northeastern US fo r many of the summer months. They support PCA\, BMWCCA\, SCDA\, COM\, SCCA \, and Ferrari Club driving events among others.\nPCA’s Driver Education program is the most popular activity offered by PCA and the events are fo r all PCA Club members who are licensed drivers and 18 or older. NER’s D river Education events are especially well-known to be among the best orga nized\, safest and the most enjoyable and rewarding DE events in this part of the country.\nThe Ground School will give you a great overview of NER ’s on-track Driver Education program. While not geared to grooming you t o become the next Formula 1 champion\, we will discuss the fundamentals of high performance track driving and how many of these techniques can be ap plied to improve your everyday\, on-street driving. You’ll hear how to p repare for an event\, how and where our events are held\, what to expect w hen you get to an event and\, most of all\, you’ll learn how much fun DE ’ing can be. You’ll also get a copy of the presentation containing lot s of useful information.\nAdvanced registration for this highly-popular ev ent is strongly suggested (and will save you money). Check-in and a contin ental breakfast will begin at 9:30 AM followed by our presentation from 10 AM to Noon. At the end of the program\, HMS will host a pizza lunch. You ’ll also have ample time to ask questions and see the practical and fun stuff that HMS has to offer\, including helmets\, gloves\, harnesses and o ther safety equipment.\nAnd remember\, attending this Ground School in no way obligates you to sign up for a DE event. However\, we hope you agree t hat the only way to truly experience and appreciate what you and your Pors che are capable of doing is to drive it on track.
