Boy, do I ever hear you, Terry. I'm about done. At least with the PCA. I find myself surrounded by less than capable people in way too capable cars. I have had way, way too many "moments" with impatient, unskilled drivers who seem to feel they have somehow purchased the "right" to drive inappropriately, to show the slow guy in the old car just who owns the place. It's gotten much worse since you left. I'm not sure it's worth it anymore. I wish there was some "old car" venue for those of us without the latest GT3 RS or something.
