I was thinking about it so may see you there. So far this year I have been out with 4 different regions. Each one has started me in green and then signed me off to either yellow solo or white. Its all good though as I think the PCA setup is second to none!!! In the UK you turn up and ask which run group you want to be in, novice, intermediate or advanced. Every plonker says advanced and you get to see some real sights.

I'll be there. It is very easy for us to move you up at an event and way more rewarding then moving the other way; but, it is better if we get you started out in the right group. Please, if you feel that you are in the wrong run group, have your CI send an email to chiefinstructors@pcapotomac.org --
Not all DE groups are the same and I pulled together data from our last year's VIR event to answer some questions about run group placement -- We have five run groups; Green (Instructed - Beginners); Blue (Instructed - Novice); White (Intermediate); Black (Advanced-Instructor); Red (same as Black - faster cars and/or more experience). 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)
Red - 215 days - range 75 to 1006 (cup cars. GT3s, GT2s, and my moving chicane car)
