40 cars is a bunch. I could bring 5 PT cars but track experience will not be equal. If we run similar lap times to another group we should just keep track of PT seperately.

I agree, 40 cars is alot but Dave is running a business and it would have to make sense to him financially in order to give us our own time slot.
We also need to consider skill level as each individual should take the group that best suits their individual skill level.
I think we should just play this out by ear and see what the turnout will be. After all, this is just the beginning.
Saw the thread over on PT first. Missed this one until now since this site isn't compatible with my iPhone.
I'm down for this event and will commit with a deposit/prepayment whenever I need to.
For anyone on the fence who hasn't run with NCRC before, these guys are a first rate track day organization. I enjoy running with just about anyone who will let me on the track with my car but NCRC has the most polished/professional vibe of the organizers I've run with before. A perfect setting to get your feet wet with "track days" if you have been wondering.
I've posted this a few times before but here is a lap done with NCRC earlier this year at Buttonwillow #13CW.
Not sounding to promising. The skill sets are all over the board in PT. It's going to be hard to get 40 cars for a road race only event. The RTTC type events cater to everybody. They also feature easy locations.

I agree, skill level is across the board. The cool thing is that Dave is willing to work with us. Down the road(say a few years)as we gain experiece I can see things changing.
All we could do at this point is play this out by ear.
Maybe we could start with having X amount of spots available for the event.
I like that idea. I think we have plenty of us that can qualify for the point by group.
My question is, do we want to step up into Chrono series or should we just do point by?
It's not like we need to make any decisions right away. Hell, I had a great time last time we were there and we had guy's signed up in all groups across the board.

I assumed the 40 car thing was off the table from the start. RTTC barely got 55 cars the first year with a heck of a lot more promotion and ties to the industry.
I'm happy if we can get a decent turn out and don't think we all need to try and run in the same run group. Just to big of a disparity in skill level. There will no doubt be fellow PT cars in just about any of the run groups and its fun watching the action of the other PT cars in between your own run sessions.
