Oh that's cool, I usually go to that anyways just to check if out. Lunch at anchor bar sounds pretty good. Hopefully I can make it.

Watkins Glen sounds pretty cool, I have never been dragging or to the track with any car yet. Would probably be pretty awesome. I wanted to start doing a little more with my car starting this year so that's a good way to get into things.

Yah not all the time BUT most of the time we get an old fart corvette driver on the track with us Camaro guys the track has to ask them to leave because their either to dam slow or scared all to hell.

Lol. That's OK, I'm probably younger than most on here. I wouldn't be scared but to go really fast, probably need a few laps to feel it out. But I read that on April 16th the pace car leads and you're stuck at a max of 55mph. I can do that on the thruway so what's the point of that? Or can you actually drive around and try to get some good laps in?

It's actually quite fun! Our group has a reputation at the track of being a little aggressive, so depending on the pace car driver, we can get up to 100mph + down the straights at times and have some fun in the turns! We also rent the nearby go-cart track and have a blast! Spike was referring to one time last year when another group of Corvettes were out ahead of us and some old fart in a Vette was going really slow and holding our group up. Very frustrating!

Actually I was refering to you Mike. Just couldn't help it.

The corvette driver was waived off by the track people.
Also last year, a mustang got scared and pulled off the track onto the grass to let us pass!
