Hmmm. I see. So the GCAC is the killer location, but 8 runs is 8 runs. (we usually get 6 with my home club).

Thanks for the input everyone.

Last Note. Since this is Superbowl weekend the P club will probably do 3 or 4 runs in the AM. THen they will do Fun runs in the afternoon. I know most of us dont care about the Sun game OR can DVR it.. So i would hope there will be 4 to 5 funs after lunch.

Marsh -- do the FAST event. After sporadic 'net conversations over the years about Preludes, it'll be a treat to put a face to the name.

Jamie, you'll have to refresh me I don't remember you by name?

The FAST event seems to be the leading favourite. Can I just show up or do I have to register online?

What an interesting thread. The things you learn here.

I'd suggest the FAST event in Brooksville. It's the best surface.
If you miss the Pre-registration, then try the PCA at Z-hills.

We try to give 5 timed runs Plus fun runs afterwards at Z-hills.

While "best surface" is open for discussion, and FAST's events are awesome, I do like the way PCA runs an event, laid back, good event. as for the Z-hills strip, I like it better then Brooksville, Brooksville concrete has more grip, it also eats tires and eliminates the need for finesse. To be honest I don't like all that grip, it shifts the focus from car control to setup and power. and having a FWD car I cannot get it to rotate on demand at Bville like I can everywhere else.

I've never had a problem rotating cars at Brooksville.

BTW, the FAST event is already full. So unless you want to monitor the FAST forum daily for cancellations, I would choose another event. It's a shame because that was probably what you were looking for in an event.

I rotated mine twice at Brooksville Sunday. The second time I got a face full of rubber bits... First time that ever happened.
I guess the A3S03's are getting a bit on the hard side.
