Let me just start out by saying, Holy Shat.
So my mom had a ticket to Proformance Racing school for a 'vette day with her 07 Z51. Evidentally the dealership, Bret Chevy sponsers this thing for vette drivers ever year. Well, she had to go to california for a few days. Guess who got to take her car? That thing is amazing! Spent almost the entire day lapping after some cone excercises.
There were some amazing vettes there. Quite a few zo6's and two or three with tens of thousands dumped into wheels, coilovers, etc. And even a C6R replicar that evidentally had close to 150k into it.
And to top it off, the instructor that I had riding around with me, was a hot girl that drove an m3.
Dirty Steve drove from his school to the track after he got out to get some video and got some good stuff. Just hasn't uploaded it yet.
If you guys have an opportunity to do a lapping day at any track, Do it! _________________

Awesome man! I am getting excited because I want to do the team continental school at PIR. I think Paul is going to do it too. Just waiting for my brakes to show up.
Can't wait to see your video.

The TC school is awesome. You two will be talking about it for a year at least. It was................well...........was long enough ago for me that several of our younger members were just out of diapers when I took the school, and I'm still pumped about it when I think of all the fun I had there. I think my score was a 97 as I recall. Was a total B-L-A-S-T for me and my wife  |

I offically hate you now Ian.
That looks like it would be so much fun to do...
Maybe the next time you do it, it will be in an LS1 powered Birdie? _________________

| Well talking with the instructor, I've got to have my roll bar installed before I can take my bird on the track. And I'd like to do with while it's hideously underpowered to get real familiar with momentum racing first. But someday! |

I think that's because big red was firing every other stroke. |
