How about this Wes and all... I'm trying to put together a day with ProFormance right now, during the second half of the last week of this month. We're working with the design of two run groups, one being race cars, one being street cars with experienced drivers. What if we could have one group of "door slammers" and one with open wheel cars? We'd run on/off with 1/2 hour run groups, you'd get more seat time then the car/tires could handle in a day...
I'll need to check on a couple of things with Don Kitch, but if we can do this I'd need at least 12-15 OW cars. Assuming we could get a couple of experienced drivers in the mix, we'd have the formula for a great "learning" situation for the less experienced drivers that run in the open wheel classes. There would be oportunity for lead/follow with lots of time for debriefs and there'd be some pretty knowledable staff at some of the corners taking notes that can be shared between sessions. (typical ProFormance style) As Randy said, it's takes a unique approach to get some quality time for OW drivers; this could be one way of meeting that need. Let me know directly (as apposed to this thread) if there is some serious interest in this type of program and I'll make it happen. If it's quiet and no one responds, then it'll be just another day of production cars running around Pacific Raceways...
