Default Interest in Track event?!

I'm not trying to poach or steal anyone interested in RedCelica's CMP event on October 19th, but is anyone interested in either of these events? Perhaps someone looking for more track time or better bang for your buck? Both are being held by the PCA so there were be a lot of very nice machinery out there. The added bonus is getting to beat up on Boxsters and Caymans

Roebling Road event: 10/21 - 10/22 cost $240

Carolina Motorsports event: 10/27 - 10/28 cost $290

I've run with the PCA several times and it's always a great event with lots of very friendly people.

PM me for further details or check out the entries on www.clubregistration.net

I think we'd be okay with our factory hoops as well, but confirmation wouldn't hurt Top will have to be up unless you have arm restraints.

I'd be interested in the Roebling Road event. I've run CMP now several times, but not Roebling. I was planning to do the Seat-Time event the Friday before, but the PCA event sounds like a better deal.

I would like to make Roebling but it's kind of far for me. Roebling seems a perfect track for s2000

It is a $100 fee for instructors to participate at this event. An instructor (if needed) is included in the $290 fee.

Roebling is a longer drive; 4 1/2 hrs from where I live in Raleigh. However I feel like its a great track that flows very well. It is also far less abusive on tires and brakes than CMP.

Funny that there's a Seat-Time event the Friday beforehand as I know one of the guys that founded that organization.

Not a problem!

BTW the last time I went to Roebling Road with PCA after 911s there were more S2000s (7) than any other car. And 3 of them spun off course, lol.

That he does! I've known him since 2001, great guy! I'm never down there though b/c it is just too far of a drive for one day at the track.

I'm leaning towards the CMP event now. I'm pretty sure I can get a buddy from Charlotte to come down for the day and shoot a lot of photos with his SLR. He does some free lancing work on the side so I could probably get him to snap photos of any of us that go down for a pretty reasonable fee. If anyone is interested in that let me know.
