Bring your rain tires. At least we should have periods of dry weather at low temperatures.

That is a national function, but I would expect them by tonight.

Two run groups:
SP2,3,B, 911 Cups, ME1 and letter cars in one group, and the rest in the other.
Frank-you'll be with the Spec Boxsters!

That's a good grouping. Busted 4th gear means my budget for this race is now spent. But I do get to join you at Summit Point.

Looks like it might be drying up. Forecast improving. Fingers crossed.

What a great race weekend!!

Weather was absolutely fabulous, and track records were falling with great and respectful racing. We had over 30 DE drivers for an "Introduction to PCA Club Racing" luncheon sponsored by PCA CR. Thanks to all the racers that spoke at the event. Thanks also to Schattenbaum Region and all of the volunteers and the PCA National Staff to make this possible and thanks to Eurosport for arranging the DE/CR Saturday Social.

Lost an axle in Race 2 (thanks for everybody not hitting me at the start) and a wheel bearing in the Enduro but still had a great time.

Was an amazing weekend! Weather was basically perfect the whole time. The new pavement is FAST. T1 entry in particular is insane. Quin showed what the car can really do, though it’s difficult to run fast laps when we’d catch the back of the pack on lap 3 or 4. Was really fun racing with Quin, Mark and everyone else. Thanks Pete and the whole region!

What a great weekend - everything just seemed to work out! The weather was as good as you we could ask for in August. The "Intro to Racing" lunch for the DE students seemed to be very well received - and lots of people enjoyed the social from what I could tell while I slaved away on my car ...

There was a ton of racing; every race weekend should include three sprints and sub-hour enduro! So much green flag running - and yet still absolutely fine only using one set of sticker Hoosiers for the weekend. Super clean racing too, very little contact. I was impressed by how well everyone played together in the single enduro run group. (That's not something we have a lot of experience with on the east coast). And lots of new tracks records. I'm interested to see how much records fell, on average ...

HUGE shoutout to Pete and the Schattenbaum crew. Well done.

Everything Jason said

What a great weekend - All Pete's and the entire Schattenbaums hard work always pays off . Great racing - Thank you for all the really heads up racing in Red group . There was some big speed differences with classes but everyone one was heads up and some great racing - Thank you

Rennpoints will be busy updating lap records - Most should have been beat
