Any of you guys thinking about running COTA on March 3/4/5? It's the PCA Club race / advanced DE. Should be 12x30 minute sessions. We have a couple of us that are planning on making the trip. I've never run COTA but it's something I'd like to check off the list. Here is the info:

Club Race Chairs Jim Garrett and Tuffy von Briesen are working to make this year’s Club Race and DE the best ever. Our focus is on the drivers having the best experience possible. This is one of the few chances to drive America’s premier F1 track, and the conditions this time of year should be great. If you have any questions or need additional information please contact us at ClubRace@hcrpca.org Registration for the Advanced solo-only DE opens on 01/23/17 12:00 PM (Central Time Zone) For more information on the DE, go to www.clubregistration.net

If anyone is going and would like to split a garage with us, let me know. The garages are $1500 for the weekend and should comfortably fit 5 cars.

I will be there in my M3. Amazing COTA value.

Are you planning on getting a garage? There is going to be 2 or 3 of us and we'd like to get a couple of more guys to go in on a garage which are $1500 for the weekend.

My last few cota outings I have skipped the garage. How many cars can fit in the garage? The garages are cool, and great if weather is bad, but the expense is relatively high and with 6 cars all in the same DE group it can get a little hectic for my taste. I am open to it if we can get 6 guys to pitch in.

I was told 5-6 cars is relatively comfortable if you're no supporting Cup cars and doing major wrenching. With 5 guys it would be $300 each and 6 guys would bring it to $250. If anyone has personal experience with the COTA garages feel free to chime in...

6 in a garage is easily accommodated. Done it several times. Only time it's a pain is if you mix run groups and get parked in when you're on the middle row.

John, I am in for a garage if we can get enough people to participate.

Brian? Sounds good. I think 5 guys would be perfect.

Garages are meant for 4. You can stuff 5-6 but will be crowded with cars hanging out into the paddock lane plus constant shuffling. Some garages are larger than others as well.

Count me in for a garage. I'd recommend split in 4 or 5. six is a stretch, 4 is perfect.

As said above, it depends on the garage too...

I just signed up.

powdrhound

There should be 3 or 4 of us so you would make 4 or 5. That should be perfect. I'll PM you my info.

You just signed up? I thought sign up opens up on the 23rd.
