Spending Christmas in PR

hi guys, just wanted to know if it is worth coming over for xmas and new year or if everything is shut and there's no racing? If I stayed for 2 weeks, do you think I'd have a god chance to look around and see some famous RotorMotors?

Cheers
Matt

Noone of them, X-mas times is sacred back home, lots of food and alcohol I am not sure on the exact dates, but I am guessing between march and november is a good time, sorry.

I'm gonna have to get an American Visa and that might take a while, so I'm not sure November is gonna be a possibility we're hoping to visit as many Rotary Tuners as we can while we're out there. Desperate to see loads of racing. Is there much on during the week? Street racing worth watching? Thanks for all the help, hopefully we can arrange someting to do/see for everyday of our trip before we leave.

Hey Matt,

Check your email....
I'm going to PR in FEB-MAR 2006 for the Panamerican Nationals (Rotor vs Piston/ Puerto Rico vs USA)
I'm going to cover for RXTuner.com

During those months flights prices are cheaper... plus you will be able to save some $ on hotel stays. I invite you to hang with us... stay in my place.
I will introduce you to great people and legends.... Jorgue "Oso" Juarbe from La Atrevida, Legendary Rafael Rivera "Falito" with both RX7 and RX8, and the great voice of drag racing Hugo Umpierre.
I will have the dates finalized soon.
Let me know,

Vic
