Had car problems and had to leave and make the 9 hr drive home without racing. I hope skipping a year will clear the bad taste. I like going where it is warm in Feb. This year will be Las Vegas. Have fun everybody.
I've never been to this event before? I got it late (thanks to organizer's cooperation) due to my car remaining down in Sebring (car troubles).

I was originally down for PBOC Winterfest and only got to run one day.

I'm just in DE, but now worried given what you've stated in your post? I've heard its nuts (which is great, as I personally enjoy the buzz), but not so much that DE sessions are parking lots?

Do you know how many cars are on track at once?

Load fav cd's in your stereo so you have something to do when you are in a train 10 cars long.

Don't worry. They fixed the run groups numbers this year by adding an additional race group. The DE group numbers will probably be similar to the race groups. +/- 60 cars is not terrible.
The long wait had to do with some issue with David Murray event not vacating the paddock. Not likely to happen 2 yrs in a row.
I will really miss not doing this event this year, but I made other plans.

It hurts...not racing PCA this year. This was always one of my favorite races. I am going to swing by for night races & Saturday sprints.

Maybe I missed something but there will be 4 race groups at Sebring this year? Do the 996 and 997 Cup cars have their own group??

If I had known there were 4 run groups I would have signed up. Pat, it's too late to have John Wright pack up my RSR, we could have driven the Enduro together. Oh well.. maybe next year.

Mark-
Looks like the wrong year for us to sit this one out.

You could've always signed up and then cancelled if it was only 3 run groups. I'm sure others would have cancelled as well with 3 groups
