Sears this weekend with PRC will be SM/Spec E30. Take a look at what they're doing: http://mazdaracers.com/topic/1477-na...post__p__17223 (Specifically, Post #48)

No, I'm not competing. But I'll be there with the Porsche guys, so I'll observe and report back.

As I was told in my first ever rookie racer's meeting: Grass IS a racing surface

Yes, we all got the memo. I think most of us interpreted it as what's parallel to the paved section, not crossing 90 degrees to run a few hundred yards of wheel-to-wheel quasi-rallycross and then rejoining at a prescribed point.

Good for you. We are supposed to get snow Sat so I am glad your weather is holding to form.... I was going to suggest 'knobbies' just in case.

Is the NASA race director out there a binge alcoholic?

Glad it was still good last weekend when we joined the Rennlist NY/NJ gang for that Saturday drive! But we really do have a 12 month track calendar here. Worst it gets at Thunderhill, absent a rain out, is flirting with freezing in the AM and around 50 during the day.

Uh, I think this is actually the brainchild of a Porsche owner (but non-Porsche racer) who sometimes frequents here!
