Personally, the Schattenbaum events usually work better for me. As a sole proprietor it is easy to get out for a one day jaunt during the week, and NJMP is close. By the time it is all said and done, the RTR WGI event is 3.5 days long and it is over a weekend in the summer, which is always a hard sell to the boss (wife). Don't get me wrong, I love going to the Glen with the RTR folks, but it is a commitment, for sure.
My conundrum, as of late, and I know I speak for several in the group, is how best to balance racing with DE. If you think DE is addicting, racing is like crack 10 times over. Races are always over the weekends and almost always three days long (SCCA, NASA and PCA). Therefore, it is often easier to practice during a 1-2 day event during the week and race over the weekend.
