We just found a vehicle so we're hoping to join in the action soon! Already have it stripped down. It just needs some love now.

We will do Sebring for sure. We may do Road Atlanta, maybe VIR.
Dave, do you plan to rent any seat out for the up coming Watkins Glen race? I can do the NJ to The Glen stint for you

One of the cheapest ( cheap expensive ) ways to go racing wheel to wheel.

Saw you guys out at Road America this year. Was driving the green and orange topless supra.

Awesome man! We'll be at more in '13. If I see your team I'll say hi. Always great to meet fellow racers.

No idea. Too early to tell at this point.

Larry: Too bad, a few of us might have been up for it. One of our drivers had a brain tumor (removed and benign thankfully!) which has put our schedule on hold for awhile.. we'd love to do the Feb RA race but two drivers for 14 hours is worse than the 24 with 3 we did lol

So far our schedule looks like:
April 12-14: Watkins Glen
April 15-19: Brewery Tours
April 20-21: Road America
September 28: Sebring
November 2-3: AMP *OR* December 14: COTA (aka "special track in Texas")
