As mentioned above, there is a lack of curbing and completed runoff. This means if you go off, you could be f*cked. You do get to sign your life away on a waiver though. There are also no corner workers or instructors, so everyone has to hold back a little...even those of us with a lot of experience doing this. I am a White in the Porsche club (the highest level of driver) with far more track experience than most of those here. I did almost 60 track sessions last year. I personally won't even try to push it 100% until the runoff and curbing is completed understanding the consequences of a minor mistake. Several of the AMA superbike series racers went out there to check the track out for a national event and they didn't even try to run 100%. A little restraint makes it fun for everyone. Overpushing it on the other hand, could have very serious consequences if done the wrong places right now.

P-cars will be out there on March 3rd (March 10th if it rains). I just got finished prepping the 996 for this and the PCA DE. In the last week I just switched over my brakes back the the Pagid Oranges, flushed brakes with AP551, put the race wheels with MPSCs on, installed a rollbar, Fiberglass Recaro racing shells and 6-pt harnesses. We are expecting over 50 to make it out, including several people and cars from Ruf.

Most of the rules are already posted on their website. It is going to be very similar to MSR, just more fun and at a lower cost. Ruf, several people who work at Boardwalk and several of the better PCA drivers (including myself) are planning on being members. Everyone who has driven it, loves to drive it. As far as drifting goes, no you are not going to see formula drift out there. They do that in parking lots, not road courses. That doesn't mean you can't drift your way around the corners.
