Default ROAD AMERICA OPEN!

Just learned that there will be a DE event confirmed ON at Road America SATURDAY 5/16 & SUNDAY 5/17. I am currently waiting to learn if the 3 day PCA event Memorial Day weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun) will be a confirmed go as well.

Fingers crossed! SO glad to see some positive movement.

How long a tow from North Jersey to RA?

Gary, up for a road trip? LOL.

LOL. I don't think I could even fit into the Mini. Not after these last 6 weeks anyway. The Covid 10+ rearing it's ugly head a bit.
RA is on my bucket list though. Hmmm.....

I've been to RA three times, but this will be my first with PCA. Really looking forward to it, even with the social distancing etc.

We run great events at RA. I'll see you at Tech Inspection.

That's great news. There will be an advanced-only event at COTA on May 16-17 as well. Not PCA.

It's the Culver's frozen Custard that will get you. That stuff is awesome.

That's what makes this even worse--I'm all dressed up at my "driving weight" with no place to go

Glad to hear tracks are gradually opening up, please stay safe everyone...on & off the track. Off the track, support services such as restaurants, hotels, race shops, gas stations etc) are of particular concern for our DE crowd.

You'd fit. Minis are like freaking SUVs on the inside - amazing how much crap will fit in there given the outside dimensions of the vehicle.

Hmm, RA is only a 20 hour tow away...
