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.

Maybe Clarke GT3DE can spearhead a list for Mark of Rennlisters who are committed to attending.

I have DRS installed on my Z06 and it's activated at speed over 70 mph regardless of DRS zone. Gonna get a KERS from e-bay tonight ...

Just got confirmation from Mark at Yahoo address. He got my email yesterday. 
Now just need to line up some other tracks in the area to get the most out of the trip.

Any interest from the socal / norcal contingent in hiring a carrier as well? Reno Fernley is now officially my maximum drive-to limit

I'm game but my email to him bounced as well. Seriously, who has an email box that in 2012 can get full?

One thing about BMW and PCA DE is that they can be so restrictive with their rules - point by require for advance group etc - it almost spoil the fun. Hope MVP has more relax rules for advance drivers

Just reviewed MVP track day rules - it's no better than PCA 
Will e-mail Mark to find out if advance driver can pass without point by
Passing Only On Designated Straights and With a Wave By.
There is no passing in the turns. You can only pass another moving car on the track with a waive bye OR if we have bad weather we MAY allow the use of turn signals instead of the waive bye. We generally have the passing zones marked on these straights with cones.
Yes, we know there are slower drivers who forget to give the waive bye and you can pass them allowing plenty of room on the left side but only on the straights. Use your good judgment. If the track stewards see repeated offenses of ignoring blue flags (the flag waived at slower cars about to be passed), the offender will be called in.
Guests Are Welcome.
Guests are welcome to enjoy rides (not drive) with each paying driver in the Advanced or Intermediate run groups (sorry not the Novice group) as long as your guest(s) meet the age requirements (18) of the track and have a helmet meeting MVP Track Time's requirements. MVP TRACK TIME DOES NOT CHARGE FOR GUESTS!
If You Go Off-Track.
If you have an "off" while driving on track, there are consequences. These are listed below.
First Off: Come into the pit out and visit the track steward. You will be allowed to finish the session.
Second Off: Come into the pits, visit the track steward who will tell you to park it for the rest of that session.
Third Off: You are done driving for the day.

If a Platinum or Gold DE Cup driver goes crying to the organizers that he was passed by another Platinum or Gold DE Cup driver without a point-by, the penalties are as follow:
- DE Cup membership is terminated immediately and permanently.
- Invitations to our private parties, and after track parties are no longer sent.
- I give the license plate and car location to my amigos, they always take care of cars and crying drovers.
No crying allowed in DE Cup.

The DE Cup Platinum and Gold drivers execute passes without point-by, regardless of Club.
