Default Road America - PCA Race Weekend 2023

Hey everyone!

I know registration and details are not yet for the 2023 PCA RA race officially, but was curious if anyone had a race weekend schedule from last year they could send my way? I know they may not follow the exact schedule, but it would give me an idea of what the weekend may look like. Trying to get a head start on planning and logistics for four cars.

Thanks in advance!

That schedule has PCA practice starts in it, which we aren’t doing any longer. Organizations seem to use that time differently, many adding in a third practice session for the racing RGs.

I'm signed up and looking forward to the event.
The registration materials/track info that was sent out mentions there is a 103 db sound limit.
Is this something to be concerned about? Does anybody running a SPB need to make any modification to make sure the car doesn't exceed the limit?

If running SPB I would only worry if they had a "most offensive sounding exhaust" limit...

Looking forward to this race once again. Looks like high temps are going to be in the '80s, I was hoping for cooler, but still better than AL at this time of the year.

I am not aware of any sound limit issues that were flagged in prior year races at RA.

Yes, weather is looking great! Warm, but not too hot. Really looking forward to the event.

So true! A group of Texas SPBs will be at RA, so I'm sure they'll give him a big Texas welcome!

For those of you with VP or equivalent fuel jugs, I'm bringing about 25 of these nozzles made by 89X. They aren't generally available yet with patents pending.

They flow twice as fast as VP nozzles and make pit stops much less stressful. We timed pouring 5+ gallons in 53 seconds.

Look for the RaceTeq banner and a gaggle of SPCs....

Have fun and be safe everyone.

Would love to return to the scene of my crime -- Turn 14 where I put my beloved Firehawk into the wall at 80mph a couple years ago. Irreparably bent firewall. May it race in pieces (which were sold to buddies)
