| The PN Racing World Cup Central American
Regional was the second event we hosted in coordination
with GT-Z Racing in Guatemala City this year, and it
was a lot of fun. The GT-Z Club has about 25 hard-core
Mini-Z racers and is located about 10 minutes away from
the city, in a little Natural Reserve area known as
"Muxbal", which is also the home of a Boy
Scout camp I used to go to as a child.
The GT-Z Racing facility is really nice, and right
next door is a Top Notch Restaurant, named "La
Pista" (the track) which is owned and operated
by the Club Owners, Mike GT and Rod and Rick Zachrisson
(who is the Chef). Funny thing is the Restaurant kinda
came to be because of an Off-Road Track that used to
be located in the now Parking Lot of the Restaurant.
The Restauarant was originally just intended to service
the Racers, but the food was so good, soon you had non-racers
frequenting the establishment. Regardless, they offer
a full Menu and Open Bar at the track while you are
racing (which might or might not be good for you :P
) and it is EXCELLENT!!! The Restaurant is always busy,
and especially packed on weekends. If you ever are in
Guatemala City, check them out!
The track at GT-Z Racing is very challenging. It has
a TON OF GRIP, but it is as bumpy as it gets. This makes
this track the most demanding track set-up wise I have
ever run on. It took me a couple of days to get the
set-up down, but soon enough, I was able to get my MR-03
running laps that I was finally happy with.
Below are some pictures and the results.
