+2. A DE only weekend with proper instruction would be even better because you can expect less incidents, faster learning and ultimately even more fun.

I'd pay that for an LSR type DE. Probably would pass if it were a combined race/DE based on what I've heard and read about the PCA event there. Austin is close and I have family there too.

We are looking to partner with some sort of incorporated entity to solve this issue...
Gotta be a way. Povoledo and others do them at NJMP regularly. Hope it happens.

I would if there was no club race and the groups were resonable size. Last year was really not worth the cost and effort for the DE drivers.

For anyone interested……

COTA called MVPtracktime to inform them that the weekend had changed to 7-9 Feb. No reason given to MVP. Anyone who had reg'd got an email, but for those considering, it is now 7-9 Feb.
no fault of MVP.
