This is on the MVP website but the COTA event is all Advanced & Intermediate.

Which Run Group Is Best For Me?
MVP Track Time will assign you to a run group based on your previous
track day experience. Our run groups are as follows:
Novice (Group 1 - Red): Little or no track experience.
Intermediate (Group 2 - Yellow): Limited track experience.
Advanced (Group 3 - Green): Licensed racing and experienced track drivers.

Didn't sign up in time for this event but hope to be back there soon. Ran a few hot laps at a Cadillac event last weekend in a CTS-V. The track is EPIC. You guys will love it!

I can give you my review right now. It is simply one of the most awesome tracks in America. I drove it about a week ago and they have done such a great job on this track. The facility is the best in America. I really hope NASA gets this track for Nationals in the future.

SCCA has a 2013 date & i hear PCA is about to annonce a club race this year. No NASA date in 2013.

Agree, nasa nationals at COTA, no way I miss that one. It's almost perfect geographically middle of country. Just a little further drive south for northeasterners or northwesterners. I personally still think NASA should adopt an east and west National. Based on entrants from opposite coasts of current events, it would do better, and more money potential.
