it's 1830 miles from my home so that translate to 130 gallon of gas towing a trailer = $500 gas each way or $1K round trip. Adding $850 entry fee = $1850 for three days or $616 per day which about the same price as renting a spec miata for a day.
If we can make this happen N Cal caravan can meet up with S Cal caravan and we can all haul our racer together across Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. There are no stupid 55 mph speed restriction for truck trailer like in California so we can do 75 mph and gas is super cheap once you leave California. This is very promising! We need a great event like this to bring East and West cost rennlister together and have a shoot out
I am game! Are we going to divide car up into GT1, GT2 and GT3 categories according to HP/weight ratio?
Yes!

The track was designed for F1, with F1 cars in mind. Guess what a F1 car and my 430 F1 have in common: 45/55 weight distribution and lightweight, perfect for transitions.
We can do 3 rounds of knock-off qualifying with 24 drivers, following the F1 format, then a 2 hours Enduro DE Cup session to emulate a F1 race. Whoever completes the most distance on track, wins the DE.

I look forward to the East beats, er, vs. West GT3 DE Cup Challenge.
There are no classes in GT3 DE Cup Challenge - run what you brung. And no cheating. lol
For me to get there, Austin is 1200 miles from Fort Myers, FL (my winter GT3 home). After event I will head home to Arlington (not Texas, Virginia) add another 1500 miles. No sweat. Must order that transferflow thingy though.
Bonus points for fastest laptime in the first run of the event!!!

Platinum Cup
Gold Cup
Cup of Coffee
Moving Chicane Cup
We don't go by power/weight ratio. Some Aero Beetles are in the Moving Chicane Cup, while others with faster drovers are in the Gold DE Cup.
Bring the Z06, because DE Cup is only open to street cars, legal for Cars and Coffee and public roads driving. Race Cars are not allowed in the DE Cup, that's what Club Racing is for.
Check the cancellation policy due to flying debris on track, because we all like to run the outside wheels over the apex.

Will most likely bring Z06 and that will spice things up with your Ferrari - it will be like ALMS club racing style. I don't mind people riding on, over or off the curb and patch of dirt on track just shows you how hard we are pushing our car. They don't call me the spin doctor for no good reason. I go off track at least once every event. All I ask is a clean and well maintain track and I am 1000% sure circuit of America will deliver. Do ask everyone to change coolant to water/water wetter. Coolant spill is just deadly!
Might as well give me the bonus now

Why have 4,5,6....people tow from Florida. Get a car hauler, everyone fly to Austin and let somebody else do the work. Can't be much if any more money than vehicle miles, gas, hassle of towing. Plus it's easier to drink beer on a plane.

I sent multiple emails last night and they bounced back. His inbox might be full, by the overwhelming response.
I need to wait until the end of the month to obtain data from the F1 race, as my PS3 F1 2012 simulator shows speeds too high at the 2 hairpins.
Also need to research how to install a DRS and a KERS in the Fiat.
