I'll be there for the first outing (sorting) of the new beast being built by LG Motorsports.

Travel to Texas on Friday to fit the seat to body and track test with Lou on Saturday. Hopefully, the car will test well and tehy can ship it back to Va. the following week.

Looking forward to seeing that beast! I remember following your GT3 around VIR in my C5 Z06 last year (think it was you anyway, JMAC racing?). Wanna trade cars for a few laps?

Jim, what are your Rennlist buddies going say when you blow their doors off even more now than when you'd do it with the GT3?

How are you going to decide which one to drive at these events? GT3 or Monster Vette??? Decisions, Decisions, Decisions!

Good luck with the new ride!

Can you sign up for just 1 day or does it have to be for all 3?

Does anyone have Don Bryants cell phone? I sent him an email and have had no response. What is the $125 instructor fee for? I only want to do two days and will take two students.

Falcon, Oyishdog,

New car was delivered today at 11:30am.

Mike Kelly came by to see, ask him what he saw!!!!

To answer some questions there are PCA events that can only be participated in, in a Porsche, so we will, there are others such as First Settlers that do not have this requirement and we will bring the "Monster."

I want to see how this highly modified street car does against the GT3 Cup Cars and GT2's both of which are ungodly fast.

I believe that the only question that we currently have is if the Pilot is up to the challenge.

Falcon, may have to give you the keys!!!!

Oh, I have no doubt about the pilot's ability to smoke anyone out there. It'll be interesting to hear about how it performs compared to the P-cars that will be there, and how you like it. I can't wait to read about it.

Good luck and don't leave out any details when you writ it up.

Well I sat in that car and started it up yesterday evening and I can tell you that it was one heck of a thrill to fire that baby up and then blip the throttle a few times... LG Motorsports built one hell of an Ultimate Track car...

Fit and finish on the new Z06 (at least this 2008 model) is stellar, and I couldn't find anything wrong with the car, walking around it and looking at the panels/ paint finish. I gotta give it to GM. I also gotta hand it to Lou and the gang. Their parts make that car so impressive and menacing looking... Can't wait to see her in action next Thursday at Seattime at Summit Point!!!

The GT3 was tucked back in the garage today when I picked up my enclosed trailor I left at Jim's place last night, so Jim's got two cars playing on the heart strings for attention... Not a bad place to be in!

Mike
