Yahoo!! It should be a blast. I'm still upset you've changed over to SBox but I'll get over it . Was just so much fun running against you in E!

15 Spec Boxsters already signed up and many more to come. If everyone with a Spec Boxster who attended TWS, MSR, and/or Hallett last year show up, we'll be in the very, very high 20's. Maybe a new SPB attendance record?

Decisions, decisions....
Also same weekend as NASA Cresson, which I'm choosing to do this year. Looking forward to a weekend racing at home.

Come on Rob. Cresson 1.7 with maybe half a dozen GTS cars vs TWS with 40+ car race groups? I know cresson is your home track and all but it sure would be nice to be racing you at TWS.

Not just my home track, but my actual home! LOL Since the move to Florida I don't get much time to enjoy the Villa so a race is a great excuse to come back and visit my happy place.

I'll be in my GTS3 1983 911. I have not driven the car in over a year as the tranny broke in Houston January of 2012. I'll be back at MSR next weekend to test it and make sure it's ready to go. Assuming the suspension settings have held and no other issues, I should be turning 1:20.XX in the car on race weekend.

Back-up plan is to run the 355 Challenge in ST-3. The 996 has made to move to Florida as it finished its trip south after this past weekend's race in Sebring.

Does anyone know if TWS is willing to keep our tow rigs for a month in between each of the two following races??

I'm keen to do so and can hitch a ride back to Denver with Dan Mayer and/or Chris Cervelli. Then I'll just
fly back to CLL and cab over to the track in April (and May)

Thanks, Mike Quigley

I talked to Joey Todd this weekend, and they are willing to store your rig for a very nominal fee. I'd recommend that you contact Joey directly. If you need his contact info, please pm me.

I'm thinking about the DE. What's the normal schedule -- number/length of runs per day?

Generally similar to our normal DE's in terms of track time per day.

The LSR March DE has a lot of track time. The standard LSR PCA TWS DE has four 20 minute sessions per day for a total of 160 minutes of track time.

If things go this year like the last 3 and IIRC, there are four 30 minute sessions Friday and Saturday and five 30 minute sessions on Sunday. 390 minutes total. It is *a lot* of track time. There is little to no instruction, as almost all of the instructors are racing.

Put it this way. I had a weekend ending off the first session after lunch on Saturday and still got in more track time than a regular DE.

It looks like it's a bit spendier than last year (what isn't in this economy), but it's still a good deal at $325 for two days, $435 for all three days.

It's a great event and there are two races to watch to boot. This year I actually know some of the racers and can't wait to go.

Numbers are growing. 75 cars so far, with an SPB field of 20.
