I'm interested in both NASA (with my current car) as well as SRF. But I've looked at the race weekend schedules for these other series and the track time doesn't even come close to PCA. It's usually only one practice session, qualifying, and a 30 minute race each day. Needless to say, a typical PCA race weekend is several practice sessions, a practice race, two sprints, and an enduro.

True that it's tough to beat PCA for track time. The only downside I've ever seen with PCA was that there are so few races nearby. I've been to 5 SCCA races this year and the total time I've been towing is less than 12 hours.
I think the double dipping of PCA and NASA GTS is a good way to get more track time if you want to run PCA.

I don't have any of my own video as I just picked the car up this spring and the video system has been a backburner item to a couple other things but here are others.

You can find some more by following to his other videos.
Let me find the times for you Gary. They are a tick quicker than SM usually. 105 hp and 1670 pounds makes them on the slower half of the SCCA cars.

Aero wise they arne't the best in the world but I'm sure it's at least a bit better than the D car. The biggest difference is brakes and cornering. These things have pretty awesome brakes. And I say that coming from a full aero formula car.

I've done a lot of SCCA racing and some of the funnest, most competitive I've seen is Spec Miata. Deep fields, good drivers and much cheaper than our Cups....especially if you wreck it
