Default Opinions about CT Autocross & Rally Team CART)?

I have never run with this group, but they sound good.
Does anyone have any personal experience with C.A.R.T.? They have a DE day coming up and I thought I might give it a try (besides, then I can say "I ran with CART'!).

This is really weird; I got a reply notice that Gary R reponded to my question, but there is no sign of his reply on the thread.
Anyway - GARY I can get to their site; not sure why you didn't. The link I used was off of Dale's Track Schedule. The event is 10/2 I beleive.

It was hung up but I did get there, and when I did I realized I had seen it before. It's next Monday, I can't make it. I AM going to Pocono on 10/7-8 though..

I've autocrossed with them for the past two years. I haven't done a track day with them yet. So far what i've heard about there track days are that they are very agressive, meaning they don't have all the rules that PCA does. The general concesious is that it is a fun time if you are an advanced driver, but not a great learning place for begingers. They also time you which is a plus.

Thanks for the feedback; there are some more aggressive DEs out there, not PCA-based. The more aggressive tend to be in the advanced run groups, which makes sense.
Odd about timing, considering the insurance etc. issues, but those sessions are optional, I beleive.
I think I'll give them a try.
