I have to go to Homestead, my last trip there was April 2010 when I just got my RS on street tires with 400 miles on the engine.

I have to go back, Erik, Juan and I have had alot of fun there. Its a good track for once or twice a year!

Senna, come on down to Miami, we'll have fun, when it gets warmer here in April May we go RA or AMP COTA VIR, if im still allive cause work and this damn cold I have is killing me. I came home 20 minutes ago, normally I'm drunk 3 hours ago....

+1, only snows every now and then in January. For many years PCA had a January event until it got snowed out two years running then they quit. No snow in late Feb.

Weather has been absolutely beautiful the past two years for the PBOC events. A bit cold, but a cold Road Atlanta is a fast Road Atlanta.

Do you have any more details.

Not likely if it's priced like it was last year.

I live in Atlanta; there was zero snow to speak of last winter. I have MPSS on my Pcar, hope there's no snow this season, or I'm walking to work.

The chance of snow during that period is super low, just plan to come.

Since it was mentioned, regarding Homestead, I've driven with the group Hooked on Driving. They will be there Apr 27th.
For the advanced group they run NASCAR turns 3 & 4.
Good group and laid back ... no attitudes.

Yup That was the intent.
Have driven with HOD events in Dec. (PBIR and Homestead).
My problem is I can not travel far nor take long weekends b/c I have to WORK.
Unfortunately I was such a MORON to become a physician.
Have made special provisions for Winterfest.

I don't have them yet. This past February it was limited to 12 cars, IIRC, which made the price 1000 each for 8 hours of track time. Not sure if this upcoming one will have such limitations, but I will ask and let you know.

I am delicate...just about every bone in my body is screwed together...cold weather hurts. My x-rays look like a home depot project.
