Dean’s List – The Fast 5 Lightning Edition

Installment 15
by Dean Chapman, Northern New Jersey Region PCA

Congratulations, you have found yourself in the pole position on the Dean’s List!

The Dean’s List is the place for me to ask questions of fellow PCA Sim Racing competitors, hopefully gleaning tidbits of information about their likes, dislikes, and equipment.

Installment 15 is a fast one! We welcome this winner’s selection of Podium step heroes, champions, and fast closing speedsters. You’ll find their interviews compelling and enlightening.

Get ready for a fast ride through the PCA regions for some more SIMtastic facts.
