“Look ahead, but also THINK ahead. Don’t let the track ‘surprise you’ – anticipate, plan, execute!”
Driving Background:
After buying a Porsche 911 in 2003, Ben decided to take a high-performance driving course, having heard horror stories about that car’s “lift-off oversteer.” He caught the bug and did a full year of driving events in the Porsche Club of America. Since 2003 he’s driven more than 10,000 miles on ten tracks around the USA.
Tracks Driven:
Atlanta Motorsports Park, Barber Motorsports Park, Carolina Motorsports Park, Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, Pacific Raceways, Portland International Raceway, Roebling Road Raceway Track, Sebring International Raceway, The Ridge Motorsports Park, and Virginia International Raceway.
Instructor Experience:
Ben was invited to become a PCA Nationally Certified Instructor in 2006, and since then has instructed hundreds of students in PCA and BMWCCA events. In 2021 he was invited to join the ProFormance staff as a Senior Instructor, which he regards as the pinnacle of his sport driving career.
