I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures, video and comments of your track day.
It was between 32-40.

Never mind, I used this great tool called google and figured it out haha. Is there any benefit in becoming an SCCA member?

It was freezing but still well worth it. The snow was a little intimidating (one guy hit a wall) but other than that it was great. I have already signed up for the next one, hopefully I will see you there. I will be there with a buddy who has a 14 Challenger. Anyone who is there come find us! We need to keep all the american muscle together haha.

It always helps the club to have more members to promote the sport, if you're just trying it out for the first time then just do the weekend membership. You'll have a great time.

I did a Track day at SP Shenandoah course last November with HOD. Track days are the best!

Have scheduled Lime Rock in April (HOD) and three track days in June (SCDA, NASA and NE Track Days) at the new Thompson Speedway road course in CT. The course opens in early June. Will be a nice, smooth surface, unlike Shenandoah's. Had a great time there (Shenandoah circuit) but the Camaro was bump steering some due to track surface irregularities.

Come up north and enjoy the fun!

im loading the truck right now. headed to atlanta tomorrow morning. ill get down there in time to watch some race practice and get my numbers on and get through inspection. yall come out this weekend if your close enough. NASA runs like 10 races, hpde and time trial over three days.
excited for the first event of my season. got to re-learn the car all over again. in the last 5 months ive changes almost everything about how the car drives and handles. seats, cage, harnesses, steering wheel, no anti lock, no traction control, no stability control, no air bags. full balls driving and ive got a lot to learn and shake down this weekend.

BasedSS, here's my thread on the May 2nd track day I scheduled, in the Mid Atlantic sub forum. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=344077
Look for the black SS next to the black Abarth with the white scorpion on the hood and that's us (Michael and Tiffini).

I have a friend with a Challenger who's interested but hesitant to do a track day. It would be good to get your friends impression of driving his Challenger on the track to maybe help prod along my friend to sign up one day.
