Clearly we speak with different groups as that is not the impression I have. There will be no race this year because they could not get a date.

The Lime Rock race really needs to be moved. Racing in snow and freezing temperatures is not ideal! April in New England is still the winter.

Barber was an EXCELLENT venue and beautifully organized by PeachState PCA. Would love to go back.

I missed Barber last year due to a scheduling conflict but i would love to race there again. Did a NASA race there in 2007 and based on that, think it would be a fun track for my E car.

Has anyone had the chance to do the PCA Road Atlanta race in the past? Thinking of making the road tip this next year. Thanks!

Great track, well organized, lots of fast drivers. My only complaint, the paddock sucks. Get there early if you want a decent parking space.

Thanks for the info....I will pencil it in. If I make the journey, I would probably plan on at least coming a couple days years. Thanks again!

I made the trip for the first time this year. Except for the 14 hr tow down and snow on the way home it was a blast! Turns 1-5 is one of the best stretches of track anywhere. Twelve takes full commitment but 7 is the key. I'm not going next year because I'm going to do Sebring but I will be back in 20.

Especially in the rain. The only flat surface I have seen is on the lower level and usually Autometrics has that area pretty well taken up.

Rumor has it that there’s a four day PCA DE / Club Race weekend at Laguna Seca next year in mid July, 103db. First time ever. Stay tuned.

Road Atlanta: According to a Peachstate PCA email sent this week, there will also be a 3-day DE attached to the race weekend. And let's not forget the ongoing construction on the control tower... which will, no doubt, still be ongoing in April 2019. How do you run a race weekend without a control tower? And where will you park all those track cars in a construction zone? The pro paddock? The mind reels at the thought of unfamiliar drivers trying to make the blind downhill hard-right under the bridge.
