Default Any first-hand experience with PDA or Trackmasters?

My folks are coming into town and I'd like to do a few DE days while they are here. The only real possibilities calendar wise are with PDA (Jul 14-15) or Trackmasters (Jul 16-17), both at the Glen. Their prices are a good bit higher than PCA / BMWCCA and even a bit more than SCDA which is kinda depressing but then again w/ gas prices being what they are and my travel cost w/ the trailer being about $1/mile it beats going up to Mosport or out to NHIS (now NHMS I guess) or down to Summit Point.

Anyway, looking for any (preferably FIRST HAND) experience / feedback with either group. I'm hoping they'll let me into their Advanced group even as a first-timer (with them, by no means first time at a DE), no way am I paying those prices to run parade laps in a train, heh.

I did a day last year with pda. They are run very well everything goes off on time. But for the money a complete rip. 4 20 minute sessions and if somebody in your group has a mechanical failure you lose the time so the next group can run on time. I just think they are way overpriced for the time you get compared to other groups. Maybe they do the glen differently. Email them and ask for the schedule for the day, they do run on time.

That's DEs in general from what I've seen (4x20-25 min sessions on a "hard" clock schedule).
