Post PCA Club Race - Las Vegas - Anybody going?

Hey guys,
I have signed up for the PCA club race in Las Vegas May 3,4. Anybody else going? I plan on doing the test day Friday and the races Saturday and Sunday.

I will be driving a red 944-spec car in GT4S #94.

I have never driven the inside 2.55 mile course. Any tips??

BTW...
Car is 131 rwhp and 2460lbs so it is bit out classed, but that won't stop me from having fun! <img border="0" alt="[burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

I will see you there in my orange 71 911 GT4R car. It does seem your car is about 100hp short and 500lbs too heavy but it should be fun anyway. There are always several people in your position (the car is too built for stock class but not built enough for GT) to race with. Depending on how they divide the classes GT1-5 may be together or they may put us in with the stock classes. Then again it may be GT1-4.

I have an orange RSR clone, #73. There are at least a half dozen of us coming out from Colorado. I have not been to Vegas but most of my friends have.

Cool thanks.
Yeah my 944 is not GT4S competetive. It is build for 944-spec racing and is quite cheap. I have less than 10k in the car. It is actully quite competitive and strong for 944-spec, but as you said slightly too built for stock class and nowhere near good enough for GT4.

Fun anyway. Personally I'd like to be in the run group with the stock class cars since I can run with the G-I class cars. It should be fun.

#73... Cool, I'll drop by and say hi!

See you at the track! <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" />
