Oh, and if you're an autocrosser and expect ECR to be a cinch, you may wanna enter Pike's Peak next year too.

Gotcha, my wife will be driving for her first time ever in the beginner group, I am going to ride with to instruct, hopefully everyone takes the event as serious as any other DE from a safety standpoint.

IIRC I'm not sure if they allow passengers unless you're a designated instructor I could be wrong though. Beginner group will be lead follow at 1/2 to 3/4 speed anyway, no real danger if you follow the crowd.

I had to cancel, I'm racing at TWS that weekend.

KenO is a lying bastard, I've never had a problem with traffic and run as hard as I wanted in previous years.

Fixed

You are unlikely to get more than a couple of clean, unimpeded laps. Its a charity event to let people on the track for fun and a good cause, not a paid license to try to set your personal best. If you can, great, but don't be surprised if a miata keeps reeling in your GT3 and looking for a point by, or some doosh refuses to give you one.

Not sure who you are talking to, no one here can afford a GT3....well except ken o

I can't wait to take a few laps in his new GT3.

Are you looking at my browser history? I have been looking at GT3s.

I really really want to make it out to this, but not sure if my ignition-might-randomly-shit-the-bed failure is still a problem. I guess this is one way to find out, haha.

Stock radiators ever a problem in this setting?

A properly functioning stock cooling system will be fine unless you have forced induction.
