Wish I could work with another GT3 guy but I already committed to one of my local crew. Maybe Matt is free?

One more question for you guys, I noticed when I signed up that there was blue group and red group, red being the cars with higher HP, such as GT's, Turbos, etc.. I put myself in blue group, was that the correct move or should I expect to be in red when I get there.

Blue is the "advanced" student group of the 2 student groups

Red is the advanced solo group consisting mainly of club racers, instructors, and advanced solo drivers with lots of experience in higher HP cars as well as those guys that drive "flat-out" .

The other 2 solo groups are the beginning solo (white) and intermediate solo (black). With that said, the club racers, instructors, and advanced solo drivers with low hp cars (e.g., 944, older 911's, etc) will run black where the pace isn't so fast. Make no mistake, those guys are great shoes, but it gets old pointing by the entire field lap after lap.

Red is typically mind blowing fast with most lap times in the sub 2:10 range and many approaching the 2 min barrier.
