Default Porsche Sprint Challenge

After the first 2 events in the USAC/PMNA Challenge, just want to say it is great. If you have a Gen 1 or a Gen 2 991 Cup, it is a great next step from Club Racing. If you want a little more, but not at a huge cost, I would encourage you to try it. They have really tried to make it much more available to the average driver to afford. While IMSA is owned by NASCAR and is a for profit machine, USAC is actually a non-profit. Entry fees are higher than Club Racing, but not by a lot. Plus they have GREAT amenities, a VIP tent with great food, and really nice people. You just need to make sure your car is in spec as the tech inspection is something that is not even really done in club racing. We are doing the season with just a simple tow vehicle, and a 22' trailer. They don't look down on you because you are not with some big team with a Renegade or a tractor trailer and 20 person team. So I would urge some of you that are looking for something different to try it. We are having a lot of fun. It's also cool to win a Pro Race....

I am contemplating this series as well. I’ve heard the hospitality and VIP amenities are very nice. I couldn’t find any updated information on whether Single entries would be provided these amenities or if it is for those who commit to the season. I’d like to try it out before committing. My thought was to run Road America and if I liked it sign up for the next season.

The season entries are allowed free fuel and racing suit so single entry includes the hospitality...all drivers seemed to be well seasoned.

You get a lot of the amenities as a part of your entry fee. Check out porschesprint.com It has a lot of that info. You can also contact Randy on there if you have any questions

What’s the word regarding the Canadian event? My understanding is pandemic restrictions have made it difficult for racers/teams on both sides of the border to participate. By that I mean difficult for Canadians to come to the US events and Americans to participate in Canadian events. Primarily do to quarantine and/or testing.

im running Carrera Cup NA and i see the Sprint Challenge set up as very impressive! Great tracks, hospitality and everything else one would expect! If i were in a 991, this is where i would want to be.
