Default In for Friday

I am in for Friday. Barry with the Black c6 z06 should be there. David who works with me also will be doing the DE class with a c5 Z06 he just bought. I believe Jeff (varkwso) will be instructing.

I'll be there

We are pretty much shut down at this point, we have a couple solo and advanced spots open, but I really need to use them for instructors.. which bte, if you are interested in instructing, drop me a message, I am still looking for a few.

This is going to be a pretty cool couple of days though, the Deep South Cobra Club has 27 people coming in, so there is going to be a bunch of replicas on hand to watch and enjoy.

Yes, I will be there both days. Have a gray 00FRC tag HSSSSS it's off my Mustang Cobra. I will be hanging with the Deep South Cobra Club who will have about 20 cars in attendance. I have recently switched over from my 427 Cobra, to as my Cobra buddies say ,"the dark side".

Would love to talk to some Corvette people who track there cars. Most Corvette people I have met in my area are "waxers".

The last time I was at Roebling Road in my 427 Cobra I lost my engine (rods through the oil pan and block) about 20 feet before pit in.

We have 27 cars from the Deep South Cobra Club coming in this weekend, 21 of them are Cobras.. it's going to be a ground rumbling day.

At least 8 of my entrants are in Vettes, so you guys are represented too.

I am working on that right now.. well ok, taking a small break to check message boards.. I seem to still be a few short, but I am hoping we don't have to run 5 groups.

How many cars do you typically run in one group?

I try to keep it at about 15.. really try to keep it under 20.

I have 67 cars coming this weekend, though some are single-day only so I have to go through and see what my final car count per day is going to be. Right at 20 of my entrants are Drivers Education level.

What a helluva day! This was my first seat-time experience - Roebling is fast and fun track!

Jeff England, you are the man! Thanks for being my instructor for the day. I couldn't have imagined I would have learned so much in one day. It is unbelievable how these C5Z's handle.

Thank-you sir, I cannot wait until next time!!

Keith - sorry for making you crap your pants on turn 2

Thanks again seat-time, Jon, Jeff, and Keith

Yes, it was a wonderful day! Lots of great racing, incredible weather and very little down time or yellow flags! A very diverse group of cars with some very good talent!

Easter traffic on 95 was actually scarier than going off track!

Going off in turn two is a good place to go off, lots of smooth green area to explore. I didn't realize how many flowers were arleady blooming until you had to remove them from your grill....
