Oh FFS, why do these things always land on my jam packed busy weekends. Well, I'll be at the Comeau Racing thing the week after.

Most likely. That's where I would be if.... POC's big "Triple Crown Weekend" at Willow.
Wow, two big Porsche racing events in the same weekend within 100 miles of each other.

Ha

Just did two sub 1:27 laps on worn out NT01's (and quite old too).

Going to be running new Hoosier R6's. I'm hoping to get into the 1:25's

If you're going to be there... I need a drivers side door handle. Mine broke and won't open. I pulled off the door panel but can't figure out what's broke.

So if you go, bring me one. I'll pay what ever....

It's $10 per person for people over something like 7 years old. It's cash only.

Other than that, you can go anywhere all day & night. There's a restaurant / bar at the track and gift shop.

We usually all BBQ at and party at night (sometimes... quite late into the night...). This typically starts at like 6pm.

Friday is practice.

The races start on Sat & Sunday at around 3pm.

I run in the Red group FYI. You can see the schedule if you go into the snack bar. It's either inside on a table or posted on the outside where they post all the lap times of the various run groups.

The racing starts around 3pm. Before that it's practice and qualifying, with a 30 min lunch at around noon.

If you have a truck, bring bikes/scooters to ride around.
