Running in the advanced groups doesn't allow for full open passing, but they do open more passing areas and the people running are generally mature experienced drivers who know how to manage the track and traffic. If a miata's on my ass I'll let him by... if I keep catching him in the straights I'll pit in and get some space. No need to ruin his fun in the corners or my fun in the straights.

Brian-
I'm signed up for the event.......I may need some info from you about car setup (brake fluids, etc.) and good places to stay. I'm going to e-mail John and Scott to see if they are going also.

^ No you are confusing Grand with full, the grand configuration is over 4 miles. There are quite a few different configurations including Grand, Full, North, South, and Patriot.

Why only do the full course? You're there to learn right? The north course has some awesome turns you never see on the full course.
