Mike do you have to run the Michelin's? Couldn't you just run GTA with the Yokes or Pirellis?....

Depending on the car setup requirements, I'll probably bring a set of Yokohamas mounted either way and might run those for the SCCA group and the Michelins for the PCA group. If I can dial the car in for both with just small ride height changes that's easy to do in the pits.. I wouldn't make my guys re-string it between races though. :-)

Would be great to race without the fear of getting black flagged, but for me it's too long of a tow for 2 sessions per day. Have fun up there!
Anyone here doing the Festival of Speed?

Festival of Speed will have maybe 40 race cars, only 28 currently. POC @ Willow Springs (same weekend) will have 100+ race cars and the opportunity to win Yokohama's via their contingency program. Not so with the Festival of Speed....

It's Laguna at 103 db. Pretty rare opportunity and I want to see what I can do there without 75lbs. of mufflers....

Im debating on racing with PCA, instead of the unlimited group with V8supercars and the ITE guys. the porsche race might be fun. I wonder if i can one race of each . PCA require a side net this season? I dont think so, as I ran with POC and they didnt have that requirement. my pca license is expired, will they allow SCCA licenses??

Ya, but the Michelins are faster.. and I like going fast! If I can line up a seat in a GTC car before the PCA weekend I'll reclass the car in GTA and run Yokohamas (for cheating bastard practice).
Depending on the car setup requirements, I'll probably bring a set of Yokohamas mounted either way and might run those for the SCCA group and the Michelins for the PCA group. If I can dial the car in for both with just small ride height changes that's easy to do in the pits.. I wouldn't make my guys re-string it between races though. :-)

Laguna is smooth, but doesn't have great grip. I've never driven Barber, but the driver's interviewed yesterday at the GA race were talking about how slippery the track was even though it was smooth. Same conditions at Laguna and you could see they had tons of camber in the cups....
