If you've been to one of their events before, what was the schedule like? Their website doesn't say anything about run groups or schedule. Would you consider it a well organized event?

They separate people by types of cars, into 5 groups. We would fall into Group 1 American Thunder. This is all mustangs, vettes, and f-bodies. You get 4 scheduled runs, and then they have a free for all at the end. You get about 2 hours of tracks time. Last year Tom Wilson from 5.0 Mag. was out there with his MM car, doing hot laps with people who wanted to see how the Maximum Motorsports stuff handles. You get free lunch, and dinner, they also have tons of raffles and free givaways. Like I said, its a good time.

I got some additional information from Hotchkis about the event. Call them up and they will email a package of info.

It's 3 scheduled sessions for each of the 5 groups. It looks like an interesting event but rather light on track time.

Last year we got four sessions. The last one was a 40min open track with all groups. It helps to make up for the loss of time.
