Darned....31 views and only one person going so far....?

Not far of a haul from East Texas, Miss., Alabama or west Florida.

14 turns crammed into a 1.8 mile lap, fairly technical and for those who have been there, there are some improvements that removed the T1 entry bump on the left, concrete rumble strips added at T14 and T3 exit.

Let's see if I can make this more interesting and offer $100 towards entry to the PCA member who travels in from the farthest.

Plenty of room left....

I am still on the fence. Its about an 8 1/2 hour tow from Cresson, TX. The tough part is losing a total of 2 days on the road to make the round trip.

Great Cory, yes I forgot to mention the Friday evening drags....

What about the Amond crew...?

I met Karl and Brian at Heartland a couple of years ago racing GTC3's, I understand they were building Spec Boxsters, doesn't one of the Amonds post here...?

Anyways....glad to see some out of town interests....

Bump for $100 to most distance traveled participant...

I was there last year and am trying to free up my schedule to come down this year. We usually head to New Orleans for Thanksgiving to visit family and making the trip back and forth over such a short time frame is brutal. Having kids in school sure makes getting away tougher. I'm a maybe.

Unfortunatly the Amond Crew won't be there. We are swaping motors in 1 boxster and the clutch is out in 1 cup car. My grandmother passed a few weeks ago and we need to take care of things with her estate...It is a fun track just watch out for the party saturday night...sunday racing is not fun hung-over....

Wish we could make it....

Hey Chris, pass on condolences to your dad or mom for their loss, sorry to hear it.

Would have liked to have seen them again.
