I'll be there doing the advanced DE. Looking forward to sniffing around the Club Racing scene. Not sure I want to commit or just do rent a seat Champ Car or similar, but I do have the W2W itch. Multiple threads, both current and past, have me questioning if PCA is the best way to go W2W even though it's my preferred DE group. One step at a time. I'll hit Skippy school or the like first.

Very cool. Would suggest you seek out the SPC racers (Yury and others great to chat with) and get some insight into their journey and class. If anything I’m sure they have some tips on getting the car in and the driver in better shape. Bunch of us 911Cup guys will be in the garages if you’d like to stop by and say hello. You’ll find everyone is very welcoming. Don’t hesitate to ask lots questions that are on your mind before you make the jump to whatever racing series you choose, whenever that is.

SPC is a great and growing class with some very well driven cars. Walk around the paddock and see for yourself. And def come by the garages; I'll be parked there with a bunch of aircooled CUPs. You can't miss us. Fair warning: I will absolutely try to convince to sell your Cayman and join the best class in PCA. But we'll give you a beer or three to help drown out my yapping.

Be careful sniffing those SPC guys; they'll probably like it and then you'll end up in Matt's trailer ...

I can yap pretty well myself and never turn down a free beer so I look forward to poking around the paddock, learning and making new friends. Appreciate the encouragement on this thread.

Wouldn't sell the Cayman just revert back to stock. Not cost efficient to make it into a race car, and it would probably fit into I Stock, which looks to be a lonely, low volume class. Not sure about ME-1.

I agree - SPB is awesome. And its especially awesome being able to get your hair cut at the track; there are so many hairdressers to chose from!! (Sorry, I couldn't resist).

There will be a free lunch for DE drivers on Saturday with a presentation by several racers of an "introduction to PCA Club Racing". The goal is to get more people into the program.
There is also an evening social event at Eurosport for both DE drivers and racers.

NEVERMIND I saw that the enduro is 55 minutes on clubregistration.... so I need to bring extra ballast in case I run the enduro...
Question on the Enduro - It's listed as 1:05, does that mean we can add gas in our mandatory 5 minute pit stop?
I don't like, and almost never run PCA enduros.
It's nearly impossible to do them when you are self-supported, I'm tired after 3 days, it wears out the car, it gets boring, and I like to get home at a decent hour ... but if the weather is bad Saturday or I need the points I may run. I must have paid for 30 enduros over the years that I did not run.
