Hey guys, I'm the registrar for the event. This is one not to miss. We always end up selling out. Believe we sold out in two weeks last year. We normally have a Friday night social inthe 'barn' with free food, beer and wine, a Saturday night dinner that's free for all entrants (you can buy extra tickets for the entourage) as well as a nice souvenir for all the drivers (I think last year it was a koozie with a photo of your car on it).
First two weeks of registration is for PCA members, then it opens up to the non-PCAers. You can bring a non-Porsche to the event. No open wheel cars though.

So far, I count 12, but at least 2 are maybes (AO and Kevbolacy Hoser Diplomat). I'm trying to work it out that we can bypass the ordinary registration system and guarantee our spots in advance. I'm in touch with the race organizer and he's just waiting for me to send him another message. I was holding off until we grew our ranks, which we have!
Please PM me with your contact info because I know he will ask for it, too, before actually signing us up.
Should be great! A track Frenzy!

Canada is still a Commonwealth nation,
please adress me as 'Sir Kevbolacy Hoser Diplomat' if you please.......

Considering it is over 200 miles and I am hauling a trailer down US 29
thru C'ville and then Lynchburg...4.5 is the conservative estimate
Fast driving is for the track.....which is the whole point.....

OK....
so I filled you in with the details for VIR Zone 2 PCA DE in March...
Here's the GLITCH....
Those wishing to sign up for any PCA DE event must have:
1) Participated in 3 Auto cross events
OR
2) Completed the High Performance Driving Clinic..HPDC
as a PCA member.
A Log Book from PCA will have these events notated and
a driver cannot sign up for a DE til one these have been completed.
I will check with PCA about all of this .....
Chesapeake is the sponsoring region
More later........

And you're right about the distance. For some reason I thought it was a lot closer! Though 200 miles in 4.5 hours is, what, about 45 mph? Oy. I will waive while I pass (going the speed limit of 55).

I am just going by what PCA Potomac has issued as prerequisites
for participation in DE events.....there may be differing policies
with PCA Chesapeake as far as attending DE events.
I defer to Manny Alban as the sponsoring registrar for Chesapeake.
VIR has no policy as long as a qualified Instructor is onboard a Green
Group/ Novice driver car.

National has a set of minimum standards that all regions in PCA who host a DE must comply with. More often that not, the regions have increased those standards. A good example is clothing. In the south, it's not usual to find regions that allow short and short sleeve t-shirts. In the northeast, that's normally unheard of. The National standards simply require closed toed shoes.
Here are the Zone 2 DE requirements
http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...2#.UOHkqG_AcrU
In short, no previous experience is required for this event

Thanks Manny for clarifying this for me....I guess the Potomac crew has
their own set of requirements......
You can look at the PCA Potomac web site and go to DE section to see the
policy.....
