You keep your promise and let me know way in advance so I can work it out with the boss and I'll meet you at the track.

First track day may 6, I can not make that one but JUNE 10 AUG 5 SEPT 9 and OCT 14 I will be at them, I will try to keep you posted on this blog, Hope to see you there. So here is a good look at the track the zl1 handles nice at this track, Its really not bad on the break pads and tires, I do recommend dot 4 super blue break fluid if you can but your first time on track you wont give it all its got because you will be learning the track. Its so awesome doing what the car was made for and you really get a good feel of the car on normal streets after a track day.

what they might do is put you in purple group with out instructor until you know the track, my first time i had instrustor. I know the man running the show, his name is shawn young. In the morning when you get there i will hook up with you and we can talk to shawn together so you wont need instructor, any group is awesome.

Sweet! I have about 1200 to go. Now that winter's over here I can actually drive it. Tried setting the speed warning to 75 so I can keep it under 80, but it doesn't seem to help, lol.

Yeah I'm sorry, I didn't quite make it to 1500 before she allegedly did 100+ mph, on a closed course with a professional drive of course

I just couldn't help it, but I only did it once I think, but then 1500 hit and I had to go down a country road and launch the thing a couple times, had to
