Spent some time Sunday at PIR helping out a fellow newbie PRO3 racer during the SCCA race this last weekend.
A couple things I noticed at the race that had been discussed before in regards to conference weekends that I saw:
-Due to some low attendance in certain classes, they combined a few and allowed Hooked on Driving to run a HPDE class intermixed all weekend. This worked really well, and got people who were not there to race interested in possibly moving up to wheel to wheel.
-Some open wheel classes where intermixed with closed wheel in the Vintage race. They used a split start, and have to say it looked great. There was no incidents that I saw between open and closed wheel cars, and everyone played nice.. I think conference really should consider a little more flexibility with class vs. run group structuring, we are all racers and should have the same respect for each other out there.
It was beautiful weather and good racing, lets hope the rest of the year is more of the same!
