Today, I saw a Cayman. It seems a million miles away…not just 5,300. I’m in the UK, the country I lived in until just under 14 years ago. The weather is grey – nothing new there. And in the small market town where I grew up, on the borders of Wales, little has changed.
But, the cars - they have changed. Picking up my Hertz rental at the airport, the guy at the counter explained that it was a Mitsubishi ASX. Oh really? What’s that? He didn’t know the color, telling me to ‘press the remote and look for the lights to flash’. Not so easy, because when I emerged into the (unmanned) rental car lot, there were three long lines of cars, of many makes and colors yet very similar looking models. It was raining very hard and I was dragging a suitcase across the wet asphalt. Tired, jet lagged, hungry and increasingly desperate, I walked the lines clicking the remote like a lost Star Trek character when his ‘beam me up’ fails.

Diablo's Driver Education Program has been using MotorsportReg.com as its main registration, payment collection and reporting tool for quite some time now with great success. The Board has decided to extend this tool to our Events and Tours.
Beginning in April, we are asking our members to create a MotorsportReg.com Account and register and pay on that website for all upcoming events and tours. If you already have an account make sure you have listed Diablo as your Region under club memberships so you’ll see all of our events on your online dashboard. Account creation instructions are available by clicking here.

So, we have this huge, open parking lot at a premier US racetrack, a bunch of cones and some fast cars. Think we can have some fun with that??? At Infineon…Thursday, May 17th, we team up with Hooked On Driving who are running their HPDE event on the track that day…David Ray and his team have graciously offered us the opportunity of a Car Control and Track Experience event in the paddock while their event is in progress. [Editor: Sorry, that event was canceled by Infineon.]
You will be able to (urged to) turn the traction control (PSM) off! Even if you run on track, you may not know what happens when you brake so hard the ABS kicks in, or corner so hard that the back end breaks away, or you try and turn a fast left/right/left. It’s useful to find out. You never know when someone will do the unexpected in front of you on the freeway, or on any other road – and that’s not the time to learn!
