PCA Zone 8 would like to welcome you to the California Festival of Speed, April 5-7, 2013
This 3-day (Friday–Sunday) event kicks off with a Zone 8 Time Trial event along with PCA Club Race practice laps
Friday, culminating with Practice Starts and a Fun Race. Saturday features PCA Club Race Qualifying and the first PCA Club Race Sprint Race, In addition, the 1-hour PCA Enduro will be on Saturday along with more Time Trial practice sessions. Sunday will feature PCA Club Race Qualifying sessions as well as two PCA Club Race Sprint Races and Time Trial Timed Runs.
OVERVIEW:
A new special feature this year is that POC has requested to be able to schedule their Cup Race #5 and #6 at the
Festival. This will happen IN the PCA Club Race sessions. The POC drivers will join PCA and be credentialed as PCA
Club Racers. As is normal for PCA Club Races, the PCA Club Race Scrutineers will evaluate every race car entered and create a PCA Log book for every car that doesn’t have one. The PCA Club Race Steward, West Dillard, will manage all Club Race sessions, along with the rest of his team. The PCA Timing/Scoring team will report driver times for all Club Race sessions. In the Race sessions, there will be a timing/scoring sheet for all entered drivers and a separate timing sheet including just those drivers who are driving for POC Series points. Two of the four races for the weekend will be designated as “points races.” All drivers will receive PCA National Club Race points for their performance in these races.
There will be a separate report for POC Cup Race points. We are looking forward to the increased competition this new plan will bring.
We are proud to also have the Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy USA West group of Porsche drivers. This group was one of two
support Race groups at the US Grand Prix is Austin Texas in November 2012.
There will be Time Trial practice sessions all three days and official timing on Sunday. This group of drivers is here to
drive the “perfect lap.” And their practice sessions show that they are very serious about this. There will be POC Time Trial drivers participating here as well. All TT drivers will be registered and credentialed by PCA Zone 8, and all cars and drivers will follow the PCA Zone 8 rules
While the track is hot, there will be plenty of other activities vying for your attention:
