I missed it last year, but everyone I know who did go reported that they really enjoyed the track, the facilities, and the welcoming hospitality of the organizers and they plan to go back to this race again and again. It's close to New Orleans and even has a separate karting track for fun in the evening. What's not to like about that? I'm definitely not missing it this year and hope to see a really big field show up.

Count me in. I've heard great things about the track and event. Looking forward to it! Anyone who attended last year have hotel recommendations?

All of the entries to The Glen and so little to NOLA? Done The Glen twice, time for something new.

I was there this weekend racing with NASA. It was my first time there and I was blown away by the facilities. Nola is a hidden gem. Track is very interesting too - very technical, yet high speed. Liked it so much that I stored the car and trailer there until the PCA race. Great relaxed atmosphere as well.

It's my home track so I'll definitely be there. This is the premier PCA event of the year at NOLA. Last year we had some very stunning machinery turn out for the club race, and I'm sure the same will be true this year. For example, there was a brand new GT3-R testing there this past weekend in preparation for the PCA event. If you only make it to one event at NOLA this year, this is the one to make.

Well it will be my first time there and only the second outing for me on the Cup. I'll be on the lookout for videos, notes, etc.

My brother and most of the friends who participate on his yearly charity car show will be there to partake on the festivities!
