That sounds awesome. You drive your own car, yes?

Seems a little pricey for the open track part, but Patroon is a good group to run with. Is there a limited number of spaces?

Its a good price considering its 2 full days

Meh, can rock out with NER or NRPCA (May 25 and 26) for $275 and $325. Lots of other “cheap” regions as well.

$450? Not a great price IMO Spencer.

Yes you drive your own car.

As for the Rates --We are lower than most --higher than some. It is a 2 day rate, not a one day rate. I think we are priced right in the ballpark.
For example I know Track masters charges $260 per day ( $520 for 2 days).
GVC BMWCCA charges $420 for a regular school. ( 2 day )
Chin Motorsports $ 299 1 day and $549 for a 2 day. I think PCA underwrites /subsidizes the local chapters events. BMWCCA does not.
Does PCA stiil require Porsche ownership to be in the club/attend events? BMWCCA does not.

Also --You have to figure you will see over 3 hrs of track time each day in the open track group and will be running at a higher level than most HPDE’s. (Driving with the instructors).
We will limit the amount of people in open track --as we want everyone to be able to get max track time and not be running in trains or overwhelmed by traffic. Student groups are defined by the amount of instructors available and the experience level of those attending.

Hope to see some of you there.
