    Absolutely. I need seat time in the Lotus- since I have plenty of seat time in the accord.

    TT #3 and #4 will be ran on the 1.7 mile course. In the morning it will be ran clockwise and in the afternoon we will run it counter clockwise. The cars will do parade laps in the morning to get familiar with the track. For the timed laps the car will start at grid, have a 3/4 of a lap for warm up then 3 hot laps twice. There will be multiple cars spaced out on track running at the same time.
    So will it be 6 laps CCW and 6 laps CW? Or just 3 in each direction?

    I can't afford to go to Hallett with NASA in June, so this would be a good alternative to get a little track time. Plus I'd like to get some solid lap time data for MSRC.

    Six hot laps in each direction, from what Travis explained.

    Come on out, Billy! I didn't post up on the NTPOG board b/c I thought you guys were all going to Hallett. I'd rather go to Hallett, but it's just not in my budget ($ or time) right now.

    Ok, I registered, but there was a problem getting through the registration process. I didn't even get to pay, but now it says I'm registered, so I can't get in to edit any info. I emailed the contact listed, so hopefully she can help me out. :)

    Got my confirmation email today it says there is a big waiting list and I have until the 16th to pay or I get bumped. Also:
    We will be driving continuously in three groups from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. At sign in, we will give you a schedule for the day that details your time to drive, work, and rest. Keeping on schedule will be key to a successful day.

    Tech inspection will be done on site beginning at 6:45 am. Please plan on being at the track no later than 7:00 AM to check in. Driver's meeting will start at 7:30 am SHARP. You must be checked in and at the driver's meeting in order to drive. This will help us keep things running smoothly and ensure everyone gets to drive for the most time possible. If you cannot be on time, please let me know now. This way I can pass on your slot to the next person on the waiting list.

    I signed up when there was only 20 people or so...and I payed at that time. Today I received the email stating that I was on the waiting list and will have to 'wait and see' if I get to participate...

    I am on the wait list as well, and I'm a PCA member.

    I haven't gotten an email one way or another yet, so I sent one to Andrea this morning.

    I responded this morning to Andrea also, in a polite and pandering manner to try and influence the process.

    Well, I got a response this morning:

    Iain,
    I am sorry that we only had 48 driving spots for this event. Right now you are # 6 on the waiting list. This is due to we had 6 different things we ranked drivers with.
    1. PCA Member (You did not show to be when you signed up)
    2. Had driven at a PCA TT this year already
    3. Had driven at a PCA TT last year
    4. Had attended one of our PCA driving schools this year
    5. Driving a Porsche
    6. Sign up date

    At this time I do not foresee you making it in this event. Please look for PCA's next event on our web site.
    +1 for honesty. Y'all have fun next weekend.
