Been there, its a great event, a little hot and very, very bright.

Shall we run a car? It should be a Porsche. But maybe we can find an obscure class and trophy! :idea:

I'm thinking a cooperative effort of club members. We'll need a tow vehicle (got one), a trailer, and a motor home (lodging is scarce and distant) and of course a race car. :beerchug:

Hey Ted,

I kinda thinking about running the GT there. It would be like running a "brick", but still fun. :)

John,

You'd have to square off the "brick" with a salt kissing front air dam and some Moon discs :burnout: Perhaps some real skinny tires, tall ones for the rear to gear that puppy up :roflmao:

Do you know the date? Of course it depends on how fast the salt dries and how the wind blows. Been very wet so far this year. Keep in mind that the PCA Escape is mid September.

the salt is awful brutal on a car, wore thru a fairly thick layer of carbon fiber and removed most of the paint,undercoat,powder coat, etc.....
