I can't remember exactly but if you are planning to go we have to talk. I would like to go as well. I have been the past two years. It's a beautiful place!

BTW, did you get some help for this weekend's enduro? I could probably make it.

BTW, forgot to mention that if you decide to go you better be on your game as the Chicago G-Spot boys are good.

Thanks D all sorted for this weekend. I'm down for the trip and hopeful that someone has a test day on Friday or thursday so I can at least wander around the track. My game will be in check the Chicago boys can have all the fun they want.

Christian, be careful with these G-Spot guys. Don't give em anything!!! They are good for a free beer and brat at night though.

I love this track -- absolute favorite I've been to -- a real magical track.

Good luck!

We would love another G class car at Road America. It really is a great group to run with. The G Spot crew is having a great time down here at Mid Ohio. We'll see how the sprint races go tomorrow.

Good luck, Brian. I'll wish you the best, since I'm not there racing against you. Post times tomorrow, please. Be safe!

Look forward to the event, my car is an 02-s boxster with penalty strokes for too many stickers. Just pulled in from a great weekend at Sebring. Left with a DNF in the final sprint due to a cracked exhaust.

G-spot sounds rather like my crew the RCC. Best.

Be careful of Brian (xupkid2) he tends to burst into flames in the pits!

You can contact Susan Shire at pcaclubrace@aol.com as she is also our registrar. Should open around the end of June.

May want to book your room now. Depending on your interests rooms can book up early as the County Fair is that same weekend in Plymouth.

Friday is a test & tune day under DE rules.

Stay at the Osthoff and walk to the bar at Siebkens. You're going to love RA. It's not an ideal track for Boxsters but it's one of the best tracks in the country.

It doesn't get any better than RA... just be careful at the kink...not much runoff...very fast... I say a little prayer just before and thank God after I've gone through it every lap...and that's in a spec Miata or SRF!! Can't imagine it in something actually FAST!!
