35 cars, paid corner workers. Drive all day, until you run out of gas or your tires fall off.

Only 3 more slots available. Interesting selection of X cars and P cars for this event.
I'm reminded of a Rush song. :)
Should be a blast!

Sold out now. AX and DE/TT events are outdoors events.
Get vaxxed and boosted, come out and drive.
If you want to interact with other humans, a track event is probably one of the safest ways to do it.

That was a blast!
I drove 34 laps but I was a slacker, Daniel DiDeminco drove 70 in car #70.
At the start of the day, everyone was in grid and there was a bit of a traffic jam. It was a new thing and we had to figure out how to do it.
It took a little while to get the traffic flow down but once everyone figured it out, everything ran like clockwork.
Normally, at PCA AX events you get 12 laps before timed runs, with SCCA you get 10.
The course design was a bit different, a lot more open than normal, Sam Mayorga did a great job.
It was a challenging course with some interesting kinks.
It was probably just as fast as, if not faster than, any course I've driven at the Q.
We should do at least one of these every year.

I agree. Let's try to do one of these all-you-can drive events again. It was super fun!
