Daytona here we come!!!!!!
Agreement has been reached, in principle, with PCA to have the 944 Cup Nationals at a little track in Florida that goes by the name of Daytona International Speedway. The date is October 4 thru 6.
While some I know will be unhappy that we are hosting Nationals so far away from our base in the NE, this does provide the opportunity for others to make a life long dream of racing at this historic venue become a relality. Certainly a fitting place to have the 944 Cup Nationals.
Will share more details as they become available.

Taking a look back at the first time the 944 Cup raced at Daytona. This was a truck load of 944' s we had hauled down from the Washington, DC area for Rennsport Reunion II. A sight not often seen.
Look forward to having the series back there again for Nationals in 2013.

I'm up for car carrier transport again. I hope we can make it happen. I really don't want to tow down there. It burns up too much vacation time for me.

I plan on towing down there since my trailer is my luxurious accommodations.

Issues that need to be worked include finding a pick/drop off location that can park at bunch of cars at once. Cars should be staged and ready for when the hauler arrives at that one location. Too time consuming and expensive for a hauler to pick up cars one by one.Last time I used my farm to depart from with 32 acres to park cars. The farm is gone. A location like Provost Motorsports could work, if someone like Robbie were to agree. Then you have problem of the hauler hanging around for the entire weekend. Not likely or too expensive typically. May need for a second hauler to take you back to the origination point. There will be plenty of haulers doing snowbird runs from Florida to New Your/New England, so it could work. The price coming back North would be more bucks than going down. Many haulers are going down empty to pick up the snowbirds so that direction can be a deal. We paid $300 per car last time. Not sure if that could be matched. Lastly, someone needs to take charge of the project. Volunteers please step forward.

We could do it at the high school parking lot, across from my house.

Sounds good to me as we just towed down there and it cost about $1000.00 each way(Hotel,tolls and gas). Maybe we could work a deal.... cars on a hauler and we my guys would take a trailer down with everyones tires and gear ect. Just a thought...

At Daytona, the two sprint races on Saturday count as regional races. Also, the 2nd sprint race on Saturday counts as the National championship race. This will allow us to make trophy presentations Saturday night at the PCA banquet. Enduro on Sunday is just a fun race and is optional. no points. The schedule is not out yet, but here is last year's schedule just for a point of reference: http://www.pcafcr.org/files/PocketSchedulecopy.pdf .
