I guess that answers the question of whether you're running the Glen with RTR..... NOT!

Have fun! This sounds like a great oppurtunity to hang with the pros.

hmmm, considering it. Problem I heard from last year is the club race folks got very little track time for the money compared to a regular PCA weekend. Most of the SPB field was passing on this event.

You get 6 total sessions for the weekend, but you're getting 5 full access passes and parking for the Grand-Am races(and all the support races). The whole experience I think is a great opportunity. Race/be in the paddock and watch Grand-Am....works for me, but you're right not as much track time. I see there are 9 others in H, so that should make it fun!

I had alot of fun doing it last year. It was brutally hot, so having only six sessions was almost a blessing. We got two races, one on Saturday and one on Sunday. Nice to watch the pros racing in between our sessions. However, this year it falls on my wife's birthday, soooooooo, if I'm lucky, I'll come up and watch on Saturday.

Only one race group - wouldn't do it as a slow driver in an older car, but it sure sounds like fun!

Good question about Thursday. That would be great to have open track!

I'm sure we'll get something from PCA. I'll try to remember to ask Pete T. about it.

Cool, I see Ferrari club will be there as well to rubber in the track for us!
