Jeff, the race is not this Saturday, but the next Saturday the 4th. They do race in the rain, don't know if they red flag for t-storms though. I'll try to get answers today.

Just heard from the track. Kids under 15 are free. Your $20 ticket gives you the run of the place. Everything is open, pits, grandstands, etc. If it rains sit in the covered part of the grandstands if there's room. I plan to park in infield car corral and setup canopy, chairs, cooler, and just walk around some. To pay we have to call Mike and pre-pay for tickets and pick them up at will call. His number is on the flyer. Just tell him you are with the UpstateC5 Camaro group. I will probably buy mine Thursday or Friday as Friday is the final day for this offer.

Like you said it used to mean somthing. I can understand your feelings, no fun being used.
Stay cool !!

Heh Will, you ever go to just regular Test/Tune's?

I saw two C5 guys when I went there Saturday and had a nice time talking with them. I was thinking of going again sometime ...

Jeff, weather looks good for tomorrow. Going to Cone Zone?

Even though it's sponsored by the Adirondack Shelby Mustang Club, I'm sure it'd be a hoot if a bunch of C5 Camaros showed up!

I'll try to get them to block off the NASCAR section next time we go so we can be sure to avoid this scenario.

Saw a black ss in Fayetteville today, slowed down on the 2 lane to let him catch up. The guy in front of him looked over at me and shouted 'nice car' but the Camaro went by and wouldn't even look over C'MON!
It had at least an exhaust, anyone know who it is?

Probably the same guy I saw a few weeks back. He probably didn't see you I got a thumbs up and we had a spirited drive through rush hour traffic. (No, we didn't drive like @ssh0l3s, but we did do some bobbing and weaving.)

I'm going to try to flag him down if I can ever pass through there when I'm not in a hurry.

Hotel Booked! Plant Booked! What am I missing? BTW Will your car sounds so awesome!
