Is anyone going to the Historic Sportscar Racing next week?

Anyone from here going to the Historic Sportscar Racing West event at PIR
February 9, 10,11?

Or can anyone tell me if it's worth going to?

I'll be in AZ that part of the week anyway, but have to fly out on Sunday the 11th.

Any help would be appreciated.

I was able to get down to PIR on Friday to check it out.

Wish I could have made it back for Saturday and Sunday, but wasn't able to with other family commitments.

From what I saw of the field, there were over a hundred cars of various classes and vintages, none probably older than early 60's with 5 Alfa's registered to race. Fourty more cars were yet to arrive we were told.

While one of the officials (Mike McCarty?) was giving my dad, brother and myself a short tour on Friday, he made mention that for something like $30 ANYONE with ANY CAR would be able to drive on the track midday on Saturday for about 30 to 45 minutes of track time. Spectator tickets were $10/person with full access to the paddock/pit areas.

Anyway, I'd recommend it and hope to get to it again the next time it's held.

By the way, Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale is a beautiful facility in the southwest part of the "valley" nestled up against the mountains with acres and acres of parking if you ever get a chance to check it out.
