There was a time when the Oregon Region Porche club had several 
driving events a year at PIR. This was before the track was used for the 
annual CART race and the price of insurance was a less significant part of 
one's budget.   As I recall the price was about $35-50.  As I point out, 
that was a while back.  From this reference point, $250 seem like a lot 
of bucks.  With three cars in the garage in various states of upgrade, 
a new kid on the way :>), and a long list of home improvements, $250 
for a driving event just has to take the back seat to other projects. 
To bad :<( 

On the other hand, the "lessons" from those driving events 
have probably equipped me with the skills to avoid several shunts during 
the following years.   I especially liked the days when it was raining 
because it was real easy to get my 911 side-ways at low speed (less risk 
of damage if I didn't get un-side-ways again!).
