http://www.theglen.com/About-The-Gle...ls.aspx?#Track Activity Schedules

Track Rental at the bottom of the Page. Open the link to 2014 WGI On Track. This will open a .pdf schedule of all the different organizations doing track days and driving schools. The Porsche(PCA) and BMW events are open to any make of car. Others listed as instructional/non-competitive are probably open also. Google the group for more info. Don't bother checking Group 52 that is by invitation only. Kojote Inc is for Advanced drivers only. Some of the events on the schedule will fill up pretty quickly so don't wait to long to decide when you want to go.

I plan on doing at least three two day schools this year anyone interested in going let me know and we can check dates and see if we can get to the track for some of the same schools.

Interested! Let me know when you plan on going and I'll join you! Any time is good but I need to schedule with work if it's during the week!

It's the Hummer, I've had it in service for the same issue several times before the warranty expired and the dealership wasn't able to fix the issue. Now the warrantys up and I found the issue myself. Brought it the dealer and gm won't pay for the repairs ( 2 grand worth ). Now I'm very capable of doing the repair myself but come on gm, between me and my families business we've sent almost 200k in gm vehicles in the past two years. Ive been told by the gm rep I'll hear something tomorrow so we shall see.

The Camaro Nationals is the 'official' club destination for this year. I'll post info on post 1 and the calender soon.

Also, I'm in discussions with IMSA, the track, and Chevy for the Camaro Corral at the WGI June event.
As expected, since Grand Am merged with the prima donnas of the ALMS, tickets will be at least double from last year. We'll be lucky if they're only $60. And...word is, Chevy stepped up their involvement and are also sponsoring the Corvette Corral. I'm trying to get us in on that. As most of you are aware, or should be, there will be no Camaros in the Tudor Series, only the GS class in the Saturday CTSCC event. Expect a crap load of Corvettes though. As for the Z28, even if it gets approved, it will be a long shot if see them on the track, since they aren't yet available. The teams would have to build new cars mid season. Hopefully they will. I'll post more info as it comes in.

Update: Just saw John Fitzpatrick on Barrett Jackson. Z28 debuts at Daytona next weekend. They must've forked over some pre-production cars to the CTSCC guys Mike Johnson at Stevenson was holding out on me when I asked a couple of weeks ago.

Still cheap in my opinion. I had to pinch myself when buying tickets previous years. Ridiculously cheap for the access that we got. Ever go to an F1 race?

I'm willing to give the Corvette guys their glory this year...brand new C7 and all. Maybe the Z/28 comes hard next year to give Chevy a one two knockout punch.
