Yes, I highly recommend VARA...Very laid back. Great group of motorheads. Excellent racing on some great tracks. Call Jeanette and she will set you up. The VARA University driving school is coming up in two weeks. The VARA license is transferable to other organizations. It is a very good deal for getting your competition license.

Thanks Bill! I will see if I can make it - finding free weekends AND money at the same time is challenging these days.

My original game plan was to get licensed with POC first and then jump over to VARA, which I may still pursue as I don't think POC will honor the VARA license but the other way around may work.

For sure I'll be in a GT class with both groups as my car is extensively modded. With POC now I'm still running time trials under one of their old points-based classes which are pretty much deserted now. Just need to get the car officially weighed and dynoed to peg its GT class, probably GT3 or maybe it'll squeak into GT4.
