first lap is the warm up, second is timed.

Listen to me yelling at the end when I get my 34.485,
"that's what I wanted, right there"!

In PCA GGR we have car fields that run anywhere from 100 to 120 cars. We allow any make of car as long as it is owned by or brought to the event by a PCA member. This year we have had Ferrari's, Z06 Vettes, BMW M3s and various other cars.
We have several former SCCA champions in our midst. Larry Sharp, Jeff and Stacy Reitmier. and of few others that come to mind. I don't know about up in WA but down in Sunny CA (65 degrees today) many of our PCA members do not take back seats to SCCA or other sanctioning body members. We used to run events with the Corvette club but they got tired of getting beat by 4 banger Porsches, not to mention the 6 pot variety.
In the past GGR AXs were run very differently than they are now and you would only get 3-4 runs at any given configuration. The way we run our events was changed to accomodate newbies and to foster their desires to return for more fun.
Not to cause any major discussions but the course that I saw on the video is not typical of GGR courses in its length or width. (GGR rules require all straights to be minimum 20feet wide and turn radiuses to be a min of 25feet.) That course was not to those specs. from what was visible on the video.
It is amazing to me that GGR takes such grief about our AXs but at every Porsche Parade folks like Tom Provasi and Terry Zaccone and others always take TTOD in their respective classes year after year.
Just my perspective after 15 years of AXing in GGR. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
