Yup. And we are capping it at 40 paid registrations, to really preserve the open track feel, and to give Andy a chance to work with everybody with no trains. We are already at 25 I think we will open a waiting list when we reach capacity, since inevitably there will be some cancellations...

Buy my car and race the event... I'll have the car sitting at the track waiting for you... you can use your car build as a spare car

Wait a minute. I thought the PCA Club Race/DE was the only chance, last chance, one in a gazillion, end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it, better get your *** to the hallowed promised land of North American road racing this weekend or else live a lonely miserable life filled with regret, opportunity to drive COTA...

With all the negative press and the cancelled dates that several organizers had to fight I think the concern by most was t hat this was a once in a very long time event.

The track management was knee jerk reacting to reports of unrestricted uncontrolled drivers being out on their track. The Texas PCAs fought long and hard to create a great event with every expectation that this was work for just one event.

Hopefully the door is opening and it may become a regular fixture for those who desire.
