I'm signed up I'm going to run with the Black run group It's my first time at Auto Club and I dont think open passing would be a good idea for the first time. I'm looking forward to it though.

Red group drivers have a tendancy to overstate their level of skill...or mistake the group for a race. Green Group is High Intermediate...they are humble enough to say they are not advanced and usually have the best manners on track

I just like the option of no point by , i've only had to use it a couple of times. Typically the red group has a faster pace and there is less passing, thats another plus for me.

Last PCA trackday i did, red group was actually the worst group to be in. Red had the most offs and blow motors.Typically the red groupl has the least amount of problems. Another cool thing my local PCA did for Red, all drivers must wear a fire suit, somewhat seperates the serious guys from the rest.

Until I went back, didn't even notice that Speedventures had a high intermediate group that still allows open passing. Didn't have that option a couple weeks ago at Buttonwillow.

I got myself a garage...and Martin from MotoIQ did too...so we are sharing a full garage together. I will have the tents up too for a mini hospitality for us all

Anyone else get a garage? Let me know so i can make sure we are all together...maybe have Aaron or Dave reserve them for us all together

Time for an all nighter, wish I was already down that way to help out. Fuel pump, relay, ignition module or frayed wire somewhere is my bet.

1:46.677 best lap, and a couple of very pissed off 911s were out there. Very few street legal cars were in the red group.

I really didn't have a choice on letting them by. Nothing I could ever do to stay with them.
