For the money, the Chin event was probably more track time, but this may be the last chance to get on track at BMP, this season.

Too bad there's an ALSCCA conflict, and a conflict with the SEDiv TT program.

Also, the link doesn't work, because you can't get to the event info until you become a "member" of their web page.

I'll probably be flagging this one.

Price?

Open to the public?

thanks Chuck. I'll see you there. Yes it is regrettable that it is a TDC conflict.If you are doing TDC then please continue to do so . I would have loved to do TDC but I had already committed to do PBOC before the TDC schedule formed up.

If anyone wants to go into the PBOC event as a spectator / maybe passenger capacity then I can be of assistance but you will need to be at the credentials building to get your armband between 615 and 7pm on Friday night starting the weekend . If you want to do this then youwill need to call me at four-two-two-one-four-one-seven.

I am instructing a couple students for the PBOC group and usually there aren't any issues with bringing a friend or so in to watch and maybe catch a ride with an instructor.

Conflict with a much better event that Sunday, in fact it's a SCCA event and it's an ALSCCA event to boot...

instructing a couple of students??? I haven't been contacted on anything as

Well John,

that was mainly me assuming because I usually have 2 when I help PBOC. You won't know who your students are untill you go on Friday and pickup your packet at registration . Hopefully they have sent you your confirmation email? I got mine . It should have been from Joanne Schwartzman.

I enjoy running with them .They are a good group of folks.

Zukitek:

Thanks for the info I am going to try and contact Joeanne because
the only confirmation that I got was from the registration process that
I had registered for an instructor slot. Thanks, John

The PBOC event was a huge success in my opinion. We were blessed with great
weather saturday and only threatening rain sunday. We had a really great time
meet some great people and had a wonderful time. Those of you who missed it
should try and make it next time PBOC come to town.
I would like to say a special thanks to all the workers and all the officials that was
involved simply put " I LOVED IT !!!!!!!!" John

Got Pics?

I've never been to one of these events. Got any pics to post?

[chuck schultz]

The PBOC event was a huge success

I especially loved the race group, ranging from the usual BMWs and Porsches all the way through a gaggle of Thunder Roadsters, Corvettes and a Ferrari plus some sports racers, including a couple of IMSA Lights, and even a Daytona Prototype.

I grabbed some quick snaps at the start of the enduro, on Saturday - http://www.flickr.com/photos/k4cay/s...7625399763032/

Lots of Traffic!

Great shots of the action Chuck. This not your typical rush hour traffic! Thanks for posting them.

For it being PBOC, there doesn't look like many P's or B's
