Agreed Laguna will be a more neutral track for us to play on. Sonoma I've only driven twice and which is probably similar to your ACS experience. You'd kill me there. The betting line says you get into Laguna....

I'm hoping and crossing fingers & toes to get in. I think my wife had made some birthday celebration plans that my not getting in would throw a wrench into the works. Can I whine? I WANT TO PARTY! (at LS, after driving) 
I personally like the idea of competition at SP. It is a bit biased in my favor, and I like that!

Haven't even seen the cars since September at Rennsport so really looking forward to driving again. Raced at Sear's in 2005 so will be trying to keep up with you to learn the line!
Saw that Van Overbeek has a video online so Kim and I plan to watch that this weekend.

FWIW, here's a few laps I did in qualifying a couple years ago:
One thing the video will not tell you is that as you start up the hill toward T2, you must be in tight (the normal line) or out wide, but don't do it half-way as there is a big bump in the middle that can really unsettle the car.
Here's what not to do in T8A:
JvO is a second faster than me (driving my car) because he finds a way to get on the throttle a bit earlier exiting 7 and exiting 11.

While not exactly the same as racing in the PCA run group, you could always race that weekend by entering in one of the SCCA GT classes. If enough of you do it, it could effectively be a mini PCA race.
There is always a few Porsches and a Cup cars running at SCCA races.
