Why don't you have a Sat PDX/Sun TT package?

The price for Saturday PDX and Sunday Track Trials is $350.

The only caveat is that you will get loads of track time. For the Track Trials, drivers will get a 20 minute warm-up session plus 3-40 minute timed sessions. Like PHA events, the times sessions will be run as a round-robin with cars constantly circulating.

Assuming my car survives Weatherly, I'm planning on both days. Is camping allowed Fri night?

It was a lot of fun! My car could use a little more power, but that's a different story.

The weather was great both days, no rain at all, except a bit of light stuff during the TT practice session on Sunday. I signed up for the PDX Saturday, and the TT Sunday. We had 5 20 minutes sessions on Saturday. The TT on Sunday included one 20 minute practice session, then 3 sessions of timed runs; first sesson was 20 minutes and last 2 were 40, which was 7 sets of 3 timed runs. I'd have to say that by the end of all of that, I think I got enough seat time!

There were 4 other PHAers there running the TT.

DC region puts on a nice event -- good group and it was well organized. And there was not a single incident of verbal abuse (sorry Dave, couldn't resist :P )

For those of you thinking about it for next year, it is a really nice event, and you can make it one day or two...

It was a great event.
All of you that complain that you dont get enough seat time should try one of the WDCR PDX/TT track events. I almost ran out of gas the first day (coasted back to paddock space), and was spent after running FIVE 20 min session on track! The TT only drew 11 or 12 cars and ran very quiclky due to the use of transponders. You did you r 3 timed laps and got back in lime as many times as you wanted in the 40 min TT sessions.

Hope to see some more PHA people at next years events.
