 Do you run F1 and Sports Prototypes with production cars?  Or are they run
 separately?

Mr. Shepley,
    We base most of our "groupings" on driver skill level. "Green" is 
beginner, and for those that have never driven this track. "White" is a 
novice group. "Blue" is an intermediate level. "Red" for the most skilled 
driver's many possess a competition license. This is also the group where you 
will find the full blow race cars. 

Moving from one group to the next, is done only with the approval of an 
Instructor from Skip Barber or Bertil Roos.

In addition, separate groupings are created for safety reasons when enough 
participants warrant it's creation. These groups include "Italian 
Motorcycles" "Italian Vintage" we would like to add an "Alfa/Fiat/Lancia 
group to this.

The track itself is a SuperSpeedway, when used by NASCAR they run 5 wide down 
the front straight, the road course is 2.5 miles in length with 2 - 3,000+ ft 
straights joined by a 16 degree banking, these are the longest straights on 
the entire NASCAR circuit. Lamborghini factory test driver Valentino Balboni 
said he could get very close to the top speed in a Diablo SV (over 200 mph).
