The drawing states, "Drawing Not to Scale!". So there should be room.

[QUOTE=swftiii;7922082]Scott - I just found where that was seen too - it is one fo the files attached to the event.

Where are we all going to park if that space is all 'reserved'? There is no way we can fit 90+ trailers, cars, tow vehicles in the rest of the open space...Guess I'll be trying to get there early on Thursday so I can actually have a place to park.

Do we know how the groups are split?

I think it's just the circled areas that are reserved.

I am thinking of going in my '73 but it looks like it's almost 6 hours from CT. I can run the NARRC race at Lime Rock and save a lot of time and money...

C'mon Mike. I'm about to register, which means we only need two more to hit 100!

I agree. But remember, that some of those spots will also include the sponsored race cars. 100 race cars is easily accomodated in SP's paddock. But don't know how many DE cars are coming; guessing up to another 30 or 40. Paddock should be able to accomodate at least 200 cars/trailers.

4. In the early afternoon there will be 1 enduro.
This trend of three sprints is really starting to grate on me.

Why do people like this format? More starts?

What would you rather have? Fewer and longer races?
I personally like the short heats and love the starts. The fun race is the best part of the weekend.

You would rather have less races? I am confused. What do you prefer?

A good bit of space is being reserved for the area Porsche dealers who front up a chunk of sponsorship to support this race. Potomac has worked hard to rebuild some badly charred bridges with both PCNA and the dealers. Their support for the race has been hard won and is very much appreciated by the club.

Local racers should consider buying at least one new Porsche over the race weekend, OK?

Does a purchase order guarantee preferred for your "old" P Car

Not sure where you are coming from Charlie, I find this a great value for the $$, 3 sprints AND an enduro? Doesn't get any better that that! I would like to see how we will qualify, will it be best time in all practices for Sprint #1 and then best time in each sprint (for the next one)?
