I was thinking NCM before Z-Max. Z-Max is too far.

The grip at zmax is way better than the NCM and only about 45 minutes farther than NCM!

It has been an hour+ difference for me, plus you have to multiply that x2, plus you don't get the time change in your favor driving out like you do with NCM.

I'm going to zMax this weekend. It's not quite as far for me. A two day event gives me more time to work on my setup.

Are you going to this, Paul?

I wouldn't be opposed to it, but I've been burned by PCA courses so many times over the years.

I don't know much about the area, the lot, or the PCA group putting the event together. I thought about going
It's not that far. ..burned by courses? Meaning? I'm in if you want to go check it out?

Meaning PCA courses have a tendency to be a combination of pinch turns and 200 yard straightaways.
