Colin
Braun coaching at Kinetic Speed Shop Two Day Coaching Event - Road
Atlanta
Buford,
Ga.
-
Kinetic
Speed
Shop
entertained
clients
this
week
with
high
speed
action
at Road
Atlanta,
just
miles
away
from
Kinetic
headquarters
in
Buford,
Ga.
Individuals
with a
passion
for both
Porsche
and
racing
were
treated
to a
double
dose of
the
"science
of
speed"
as
Kinetic
coaches
guided
clients
through
the
finer
points
of high
speed
sports
car
racing.
The
weather
could
not have
been
better
in late
December
as
temperatures
topped
out
around
50
degrees
with
cloudless
sunny
skies.
Each day
of the
event
began
with
verbal
instruction
from the
coaches
followed
by
actual
lessons
in
selected
Porsches
with
guests
in the
passenger
seats.
Clients
received
hands on
instruction
behind
the
wheel
while
Kinetic
coaches
critiqued
performance.
Kinetic
engineers
were on
hand for
support
as well.
Guests
included,
Jeff
Swartz,
Ray
Williams,
Mark
LoPilato,
Lee
Davis,
Paul
Johnson
and
Craig
Foster.
Making
an
appearance
was
Kinetic
driver
Scott
Campbell,
recent
winner
of the
Porsche
Club of
America
event at
Roebling
Road.
Among
those
attending
and
receiving
instruction
was
Russell
Smith
Co-owner
of
Kinetic.
Russell
was
coached
by none
other
than
business
partner
and
world
renowned
driver
Nic
Jonsson.
Joining
Jonsson
as
coaches
were Joe
Foster
and
Andrew
Davis.
Johnsson's
new
Krohn
Racing
team
partner
Colin
Braun
was also
in
attendance.
"The weekend was very informative," Williams
said. "Nic was an outstanding coach and having Andy and Joe there
was a nice surprise especially with Andrew's knowledge of sequential
shifting. The hospitality was everything you needed provided by a
great staff. It was a great event with good comradery…top notch
group of people." Davis, who currently has his own Porsche Carrera
GT at the Kinetic shop undergoing some fine tuning, offered his own
thoughts about the two days of instruction and driving.
"There was a great group of people here this week and everything was
very fun and professional," commented Davis. "I learned a lot in an
atmosphere that was not intimidating. With that said, we took things
very seriously and safety was a top priority. I want to be a part of
a fun learning environment so that I can improve my driving skills
and this is the place to do it."
Kinetics will continue to schedule such
events for current and new clients throughout the upcoming race
season beginning with another event at Road Atlanta in early
January.
