Reading all the smack on the OTR board I was thinking about signing up, but I ran last year with TCRA in the same race/HPDE format and the HPDE group was too crowded with fast/slow cars all on track at the same time.

I may drive up Sunday just to watch.

i dont know how many cars tcra lets in.. ncrc combined with them because last year they only got like 30 cars to run HPDE.

should be a fun weekend.. i'll be in garage 7, dearing is in 8.

plus with the huge 'first timers discount' it may be worth it even if it is a little crowded.

TCRA entry looks pretty light.

TCRA is the club that let me put together our vette group at $100 each as I remember. But some complained about it being not their cup of tea.....

Hope to see you on the track soon.....

maybe you should buy better brakes
or a motor that makes more than 1 1/2 lb of boost


Have fun. I'll be listening to nonstop decorating requirements, viewing paint swatches, and hearing about how we need to replace all the furniture.

Racing would be cheaper.
