I got all excited when I saw the Group 11 'race' scheduled.
Do I have race experience? No.
Lots and lots of track time with my Pantera at track events. I used to run in the 'red group'. I have no track time yet with the GT40. Unfortunately... long story.
I'd be up for some 'spirited' laps with the other guys. I would really look forward to some laps on the track besides the lunch time touring. i.e., I'd expect to be able to push the car a little.
Oh, and I don't have a race license either.
FWIW,
Kirby

This is the current schedule but it will probably change a bit here and there.

The group 11 thing is the current gray area. Which cars in group 11 either do not have a race licensed driver or are not prepared to racing specs. Several of the forum members are in group 11 for parade laps but of course a race is a different matter. Also, are there going to be cars attending that would like to race and have not yet entered.
Group 11 may be parade laps but the speed of the pace car has yet to be determined.
The big race is the group 5 race pitting many Lola T70s against a fair amount of GT40s.
There really are not enough raceworthy original GT40s or GT40s with raceworthy drivers or owners willing to risk their cars to have an "All GT40 race" . This was a shock to the event management. MK IV J6 (Jim) recognized a long time ago that few originals would be racing in the future (now). How many of you guys have track experience ? How fast do you want to do the parade laps ?
