Hello There - I'm thinking of registering for the upcoming May NJMP event.  I've done DE's with a variety of different clubs/groups including FCA, PDA, HOD, TT4C etc, and they all organize the days a bit differently. 

What is a typical DE schedule like with RSR-PCA?  How long is each session scheduled for? Approx how many sessions does each group get in a day (barring unforeseen circumstances of course). 

Also, are all new participants required to register in the Green group at first, regardless of track experience/training?

Thanks for any help with this, much appreciated. Hope to see you all at the track soon!

Best,
jb

RTR track events are one of the best values around.  We had an event this past weekend at Pocono Raceway and the schedule on Saturday was 5 run groups at 25 minutes each!  The schedule varies a little depending on how many people register in the advanced groups (notice we combined red and black for this past event).  Historically 4 run groups at 20-25 minutes each is about normal I think.

Myles is the track chair and you can email him at track@rtr-pca.org.  Let him know what your experience is and he will help you figure out which group is appropriate for you to register in.

Here is the actual schedule from this past event:

BTW -- we're very welcoming to non-Porsches at our events.  I think we probably had 6 or 7 Vettes at our last event and we also have Hondas, Subarus, etc....
