Some outstanding RLer posted a PDF last year of DEs for 2020. I'm hoping that person is working on it for 2021 and will post in this thread. I have my own spreadsheet for local stuff as well as fly-away events I have aspirations on doing, but his list had a lot of stuff I wasn't aware of.

Trying to find consecutive weekends for things at Barber, Road Atlanta, Sebring, and Daytona, or some close approximation thereof. Chin has something close in March but the weather in Alabama and Georgia is still a bit chilly then. If anyone else has similar thoughts about doing these tracks on book ended weekends hit me up with your thoughts.

And Daytona seems to have nothing in the first nine months, or am I not looking in the right places?

The last time I ran Pitt Race, it was still called Beaver Run but earlier this year, my brother and I met my cousin who drove in from chicago to drive Pitt Race with HOD. It was a BLAST. It's technical, fast and has lots of elevation. It's top 3 on my list of tracks to drive and will be targeting more events there in 2021. I closed out with 35 days this year and hope to get 50 in next year!
I'm gonna try and do the first 2 on this list, 4 straight days at VIR 3/4-3/7 with HOD and Chin.

Thoughts?

I was only planning on the HOD but you've got me thinking about spending the extra 2 days now (you're a bad influence). Might need to bring the family with me and have them stay trackside for all 4 days. I'll need to consult with the wife on her thoughts with a newborn or call the divorce lawyer but either way, I think i can make it work.
It also looks like something similar in October where First Settlers and CHIN are back to back at VIR again too.

ARPCA also has 3 days at Pitt Race in July which I'll likely do (2 days isn't enough!).

Keep me posted.

I may have some family in tow as well, although not much for them to do down there while I'm on track, but we'll see.

Danville isn't exactly Disneyland....

Keep me posted...

I think that you're referring to Tom Krueger's (RSRPCA) list?
Once he sends me the new list for 2021, I will post the PDF here again.

Hi:
I am an Upper Canada PCA driver who runs in White regularly, ran in Blue this past summer under Covid as groups compressed.

I would like to run at Watkins Glen, never have run there, would want an instructor at first for sure.....

Niagara PCA has a great reputation, is there someone I could contact at Niagara PCA to arrange this?

Do not want to sign up without making sure this is doable.

Thanks!

Most regions that I run with did indeed go back to in car instruction mid season last year. Potomac may have been the first to do so IIRC at Pitt Race last season.

They are also a great group to run with.

Yes - If the student agrees they will be assigned one instructor (who will not have any other students) for in-car instruction. BTW, good choice for WGI, it’s a high speed track and the importance of car balances increases with speed, an instructor in the car can help you feel it and help save you when you can’t.

If the student doesn’t agree we will be utilizing a lead-follow format.
