u will be doing DE.
TT is part of DE, no extra charge and you dont have to do it.
for 1.5 hours, they line up cars based on the driver's self predicted time and send you out one by one for one warm up lap, two hot lap and one cool downlap. you will have clean traffic. this is not like NASA where you are packed while trying to set time. i dont know why you continued to do NASA TT. i would only race with NASA through PRC. otherwise, 80 min of driving time is too little.

^ NASA tt is grouped ahead of group 4 and gridded by best time. Tt use to be just one grp but because of economy they grp with grp4. If it weren't for the download meeting bs I sign up for 2 grps. Mike

With PCA, during the "Timed Runs" (fka Time Trial) portion of the event, not only are you gridded by time, but also they only send out like 4 or 5 cars total on track at any given time. So while you are doing your timed runs you are spaced at least 20+ seconds (a 1/2 Mile?) apart from any other car. Those 4 or 5 cars do their warm-up lap, two timed laps and a cool-down lap before pit-in, then and only then do they send out the next 4 or 5 cars.

AFAIK, nobody else does it like this. Really allows you to focus on your line and drive 10/10ths with no visible traffic in front or behind.

And PCA is non-profit with 100% volunteer staff (other than required medical & track workers), so your registration costs will be as low as possible.

Just sayin'
