I run in 3 different regions. I have to work with each one to get promoted to the next group regardless of other clubs, PCA or not. NASA and Chin actually use PCA's run groups to guage because PCA is so darn picky. In any event you should submit your driving, racing/run group experince. If it qualifies you to run in an advanced group then great, otherwise if you have little experience to hang your hat on its not a good thing with some of the other drivers overtaking speeds. I have been on both ends and experience + common speeds helps keep everyone safe. I run in Group 4 and while typically top 4 fastest I do not quality yet for group 5 or Chin advanced (Rolex Cup experience).
