What is the scca expierence that everyone is talking about ? sitting , waiting for your 15 min session to happen and then race for 20 min. How do you sell the lack of track to to these people ?
    I would rather "race" for 20 minutes than dodge traffic for a 2 hour stint..

    LOL - If you haven't tried the latter, you should. It's NOT "real racing" but it can be a hell of a lot of fun.

    one very important thing we(NER) do is give everyone an opportunity to play.
    So, whether you drive a FV, GT1 or IT car, you will get track time.
    If we were to run...say a Miata only event we could give you 8 hours of track time as well........ but....how much are you willing to pay

    Entry fee at Lime Rock for 8 hrs is $500. How much is a regional costing this year at that track ? I guess it all depends on what someone is looking to get out of the sport.

    I competed in the 24hr. at VIR in August in a miata. Cost of rental $700 everything included, 5 drivers, I drove 10.5 hrs (race) & 1hr practice. To rent a car is very cost effective. Finished top 20, in a 100 car field. We completed all 24 hrs with no damage or breakage. Never got hit or hit another car. Like I said some like sprints and some enduros
