I ran in the blue group both days...there was cayman, a couple of boxsters and 911's and a RUF Supercharged Cayman....the driver wasn't pushing it hard though so I don't know how well it could do...I passed him a couple of times.

I'm not sure but I know that they race the spec boxster there. POC had an event at Streets of Willow on the weekend also...it was a GT3 convention. I went over and had a wander around the cars and there were 2 brand new turbos, one cab and one with carbon fibre wheels...unbelievable.

There was GT3 cup car up with us on Saturday and it was absolutely flying...I am not sure what times it was pulling but it always looked fast.....

The biggest difference I noted was how much easier it was on the car compared to streets. Streets is much more technical with harder braking, turning, downshifts etc...whereas Big Willow has bigger corners. straights and all I needed was 3rd and 4th.

Yes. Between the PCA, POC, and Speedventures you could run there nearly every weekend on one track or another. Just remember June, July, Aug. and Sept. are way too hot and are car killer months.
