I love Chris Rock. The problem with that skit is that women don't use logic and reason to complain. (Don't tell my wife I said that!)

Sprint 1 should either count for points or not have anything to do with grid position for Sprint 2. Boom - problem solved!

You don't have to worry about my opinion for this race anyway. I've been told by PCA that I am not going to be racing at WGI.

Registrations are coming in very strong and it's good to see many names come back that haven't raced with PCA in a while.

Last year, they eliminated the Fun Race and added a third Practice Session in additional Qualifying and the only complaint at the track was that this was more track time than people wanted to budget tires for. This year, there is a third Sprint Race to provide even more track time, which is great. Just like the NJMP CR and any other PCA Club Race in the country, only 3 races per weekend are points races.

Looks like there will also be an Introduction Session for DE drivers to PCA Club Racing on Saturday.

120 registered already! I believe we had 184 racers last year; it would be amazing to see us back to the 200+ preCovid mark. There's certainly plenty of time for everyone to get their friends and competitors excited - as they say, it takes a village!!

Also, props to the SPC crew: 15 cars already registered is really impressive. And it looks like we're going to have some very competitive, double digit fields in SPB, GTB, SP3, and of course, CUP ...

Rain tires? It poured Friday last year and we only got one dry session in!

Not looking to bust on Jason's promotion and cheerleading efforts, Just need to keep the facts straight here.

Fake news. It was 65 and sunny every day. Watkins Glen (the track, not the town, silly) is tented and heated, so weather is never, ever, ever an issue ... ISC got that fancy $$$

When the schedule was published, people didn’t know what the weather was going to be like.

Rain helps with my tire budget. I'd be game for rain in every race!

123 and climbing. Really great turnout for some of the classes. Not a surprise that the B1 cars are showing (20 so far), but SPC is giving SPB a run at 15 to 14! SP3 is right there with 911Cup (9 to 10) and ME1 has a real race with 4 cars.

How come very few DE drivers have registered. We added the DE group because we lost our 48 HRS to HSR after 47 or 48 years..sad

MNY has a DE the two days right before your event, maybe that has something to do with it.
