Pocono North PCA HPDE May 14*, 15-16 Who's Going? Spots Still Available
Riesentoter Region PCA still has spots available in all run-groups for May 14th (advanced drivers only) & 15-16 for all skill levels and all marques. The green and blue groups tend to fill up quickly.
Anyone going?
There are normally a half-dozen or so Corvettes and we'd love to have more. Keith (ZenaK) and Steve (SLandstra) can attest that it's a good group of folks, great instructors for those in the green and blue groups, and Friday for advanced drivers will be tons of track time with long sessions of 45min to 1hr (basically open track).
Hope to see you there!
Registration is handled through Motorsportreg;
www.rtr-pca.motorsportreg.com
For more info or to download the tech form:

If you're an advanced driver or instructor and haven't run with PCA befofre, you might need to discuss your qualifications with the track chair or the registrar.

I may sign up for one day, depending on how things go in the next couple of weeks (new baby due next week). I am however doing the 2-day NJMP event with PCA tomorrow & Friday. tried to get Keith to join the fun but he was being a sissy. You should sign up if you have the free time, reg is already closed but I'm sure you can still get in if you talk to the right people. its only $260 for both days.

I'm going to be there driving on the advanced day. It's also a training day for evaluating new instructors. I'm signed up to instruct only on Saturday and Sunday.
As Jim says, PCA puts on great events. Come on out and have same fun...

How many sessions per day on Sat/Sun? How long are the sessions?
Not sure if my C5 will be ready for the track, but I would like to go in my S2k.
Thanks.

Typically two morning sessions and two afternoon sessions per day, normally 20min sessions, but last event we combined red/black and bumped sessions to ~ 30mins. A little tougher to do at Pocono since it's a short track, so 5 20 minute sessions most likely. S2K is a great car! Hope you can make it!

It's tough to get away in the middle of the week since my "corporate sponsor" aka employer expects me to spend some time at work.
Hope you can make it, and we won't make any comments about your manhood if you don't since you've got the new addition coming. Congrats!

Jim of Course I will be there, and if it's a consolation prize to anyone my "Hood Ornament" will once again be driving in the GREEN newbie group. Except I have to mention she passed about 50% of the intermediate Blue group on the 3rd day combine run sessions. Feel free to come as long as you don't mind being out driven by a girl :-)

I still think this is going to cost you a new car before it's over.
It looks like the green group is close to filling up, but still a little room left in blue. White & Black still have room all three days.

Maybe Jenny can teach me to AutoX. I've been giving serious thought to using the Boxster for an AutoX car. You have one right?

Finished around 1pm I think. It could have been worse though. One 911 came in that was a disaster. We tied a lift up for more than an hour just to fail it.

I'm in! They kindly made space for me.
Blue group.
$250 for 2 days is a great deal as well, in case anyone is thinking of attending some future events. NASA, at Lime Rock last weekend, was $270 for 1 day.
This will be the first track day for my C5 (sole purpose = track, and transportation to/from), which I just got last Sunday.

Look us up when you get there on Saturday and we'll point you in the right direction for registration, tech, classroom etc.
Don't forget to have your car teched and the form filled out before you get there.

This event was super. I had a great instructor and the event was very well run. Definitely worth making the effort to get to a Riesentoter event.
Jimbeau and Zenak were super helpful as well. Lots of vettes at this event, with a couple fast ones driven by women.

Ben, sorry we didn't get a chance to talk until Sunday. Jimbeau and Zenak are great guys. Alway fun to run with them. My girfriend, Lainey was driving my C6 Z06 for a few sessions on Sunday and loving it compared to her Porsche Caymen S... Keith's wife was also driving his red C5. It's great having the ladies on track, taking names and kicking butt...

Hi Guy's, Just joined the Forum today. Riesentoter PCA is a Vette friendly organization. We now have a few Vette drivers that are instructors and the number is growing. Registration opens two months before the event and usually fills fast. Check on motorsports.reg for our schedule and opening dates.
