I have done 9 of them since 2012, it is really hard to beat. There is not much better than doing race car things with race car people for 6 days. Bonus is you can do it with your Dad like I have been able to. Extra bonus you get to meet people like Hemi Joel and JerichoGTX.

If you car is running and reliable it is pretty easy to predict your costs for hotel etc. Showing up in something totally untested is nightmare fuel for me lol. My Dad and I have been lucky to only face minor issues on the road and none on the track. Nice dinners and sleep make for a really good week and lots of guys don't get that luxury.
