It's a fun track. Lots of elevation change, a few hold your breath spots, and improvements to times as you get used to the rhythm of the track. I'll be back next year.
Offs....no idea what you’re talking about.

This was our first time to Pitt Race, and it was terrific. Weather was mostly cooperative. Track was great fun to learn and drive. And the paddock was spacious. So big that we even got to watch, in an adjacent lot, an autocross on Saturday and drifting event on Sunday.

My student did a terrific job, including getting promoted from Green to Blue. It was a lot of fun working with him.

Cindy seemed to enjoy the mods I finally finished on her Boxster, including new shifter & cables, and GT3 seats (thanks Notton!) and harnesses. And I enjoyed the newly installed wheel studs, which made swapping wheels MUCH easier.

Thanks to all the organizers, locals who passed on local knowledge to help quickly learn the track, and to all the volunteers who much such an event happen!

Looking forward to returning next year (if not sooner..)!

I'm glad everybody had a great time. I look forward to seeing you again next year.

Lara booked me into the renovated section of the Park Inn and I liked it better than the MicroTel. Breakfast was too late for us but the bar & dining room were pretty good. It's also close to Giuseppe's.

I don't know how you feel about it but the Subway is pretty good for lunch.

I seem to have peaked out on lap times. I got one of those Apex Pro Track Coaches and even when I thought I should be able to go faster it kept saying I was usually getting all I could from the car, although I no longer have the nerve to take the kink flat out. Maybe I should be satisfied, but satisfied now means being slower than Lara and Jim!! I want a GT4 w/ PDK.
