I did last year at BRP. It was organized and clean. I would run with them again. They should be throwing in timing and hopefully they will grid the group based fast laps after the first session.

It's a small group now. They purchased one bracket group from the primary organizer this time.

Yes. Only 15 cars. I spoke with the organizer and he said no beginners. However I don't know if it will be tough to get clean laps for the guys running sub 2.00.

was going to say the same as above but a couple of my buddies run with them with $65 vouchers.

my first few were with them but i just do sv, cca, or open test (posted a thread with a vid of my open test solo day taking billy j's practice car control on slow turns advice). was going to run with pca at chuckwalla but distance and temps had me change my mind.

If you are pushing it it will heat soak in under 2 laps. I'm passing.
