The least I can do for you Sean.......

At Green speeds I will have plenty of time look for it, stop to pick up your bumper and still catch up the train...... so don't worry.....

I received three PM's today. I was in meetings all day and finally have a chance to answer them. We have time to deal with these issues and the registrar also has your email. I will answer the emails this evening.

Pay attention to how early this guy brakes (compares to other cars) and then how early he gets back to the gas, folks, and look how he gains on people like mad because of it.

Follow-on post -- I am having trouble with the PM function -- i.e., I cannot include the DE Registrar address on my PM response, and some of you have not received my responses; because the server fails to recognize that email address and kicks back the email. Please respond directly to me, DEChair@pcapotomac.org and to Charlie, DEregistrar@pcapotomac.org.

Also, the event is being opened to all vehicles, regardless of club affiliation -- it is easier to register if you are a PCA member; but, we are taking steps to remedy that glitch.

Currently I am trying to deal with Shennandoah Circuit DE which is this weekend, so my responses may be a little slow.

Pretty impressive driving! What struck me was how smooth you were through the turns and how much speed you carried through the turns. What were you driving? Are you in RTR?

The call for participants is basically White through Red run groups. Club Racers participants can be found in White through Red and clearly the number of days is not a requirement for progression through to White, many exceptional drivers have moved through the ranks with minimum time in each group. It is generally not the case. In the data I provided I dropped the high and the low numbers to arrive at the range.

By run group and number of track days (average) range
Green - 16 days - range 1 to 50 (largest concentration 8 - 25)
Blue - 32 days - range 12 to 81 (largest concentration 29 - 36)
White - 61 days - range 24 to 132 (largest concentration 36 - 69, some cup cars)
Black - 110 days - range 42 to 275 (largest concentration 77 - 160, several cup cars)
I'm listed in White, maybe because I only have 60 days or so.. You can run with me!
