Looks like the preliminary dates are up for PCA 2019 Trophy East.
Calling all 2016-2019 GT4 clubsports of either Trophy or MR spec and 991.1/991.2 Cup as delivered!
Great way to get good quality track time with only 25-35 cars on track for the run group.
There will be some Trophy West/East combined optional weekends as well if drivers want to spice it up!
Im sure there will be a thread up at some point so heads up!

Will they change the rules so that former Trophy East cars can run in the series? A current complication is that PCA allowed Trophy Cars to put on the MR shocks and springs without doing a full MR conversion. 2018 West/Competent rules said you had to go full MR or not at all. Without a change, a lot of cars my be prohibited from joining the fun.

Im pretty sure Trophy east would accept your GT3R. The run group would be less traffic of the typical PCA red group.
This would also give you the abilty to run the 2 combined Trophy East and West races if desired. (Trophy West has GT3R run group.)
Would also give you alternative seat time in conjunction with Mission Foods GT3 Cup Trophy.
Preliminary Schedule:
COTA – March 29-31
Road Atlanta – April 12-14
VIR – June 21-23
Road America – August 31 – September 2
Daytona – October 25-27 (Enduro under lights)
Race 6 TBA.

Given the shortage of available cars and the desire for trophy car owners to upgrade suspension packages, PCA allowed the modifications.
Given the broad range of drivers, no car has really shown an advantage or disadvantage.
Competent Trophy West do not allow the mix and match of parts from Trophy to MR spec. Therefore, for the 2 combined East/West events planned in 2019, the cars would have to be "as delivered" spec to run together.
