Hurry up and get that trailer! Or rent one. They are cheap to rent. Or get Mooty to buy a larger 2-car trailer. In fact, he might have a spare 2-car trailer hiding somewhere. He just can't remember that he owns one.
I promise you that you guys will have fun at ORP. It can be run in both directions too.

ORP is a fairly new track in Oregon (2 seasons old) and it's located about 2.5 hours east of Portland. It is a crazy fun track that is about 2.4 miles long with 16 turns. Tons of elevation change and it has pretty much every corner type you can imagine.
Blind hills, blind turns, off camber, on camber, rolling hills, and four "straights" provide lots of passing opportunities if your track group doesn't allow passing in turns. It's like driving your own roller coaster. I live 7 hours from the track assuming no CDN/US border hassles and I plan on being there at least 5 times next year. It's that much fun!...

Yes, the DP is the little grey car.

It really is a ton of fun. My videos of ORP are so boring compared to the one I posted at the start of this thread. That was my coach driving, Kees Nierop. He's an ex-factory driver and a PSDS instructor. Just a wee bit better than me. Not sure what PCA's plans are, either for racing or the Oregon PCA region DE crew. Would you want an event the Wed/Thurs before the racing at PIR or Mon/Tue after? Or....?

Maybe we'll run CW one day and CCW the next? Then you can be seen in the wrong direction both days.

Yes, Kees knows how to drive a GT3. Did you get noticeably quicker with his help?
