thinking about doing Sunday. A bunch of people I have not seen in a while will be there and I want to check out Jose tranny setup which I unfortunately never had time to check out at VIR.
Of course this means I have to get the new hoosiers on my wheels real soon, but the car is already to go otherwise.

Thanks for posting the contents of the email. I just got mine at 7:10pm.
Figures...
Hopefully you can make it Bob. I finally bought all my safety gear...I guess the package thing never worked out? I never heard from you.
I bought (2) Cobra Suzuka seats, (2) Schroth 6-point harnesses, Gary's seat mounts and harness bar and a Hans. Hopefully this is like taking an umbrella....It will never rain.

Looking forward to seeing you guys. I'll be there on Friday and Saturday but not on Sunday. I'll be spending most of my time trying to pass along a few driving basics to the "new" guys, and ofcourse running a few laps in the black group. I've got a bit of work to do on the old '04 before Friday.

Lots of work to complete at the shop on a few vehicles but we should have the TTP sponsored RX-7, formerly in black color now in a olive army green, the silver C6 and blue c5z...
Stop by the TTP trailer, we'll be there Saturday and Sunday.

they say rain now it will be good they suck. Summer time doubt it will rain that much and it dries fast there also with the heat.

I'll be there Friday & Sunday. Saturday was just too crazy & disorganized last year, but by Sunday afternoon I almost had the track to myself. Looking forward to meeting up with fellow Vette guys, I'll be there in my LMB '07 Z06.

lots of poeple and lots of fast cars but they were short on instructors. my first session instructor was good but he left shortly after. second session I was left sitting on the grid almost 10 minutes after the start until finally I convinced the guy to let me solo.
I'm beat but it was still a lot of fun, the car performed better then I expected but the nut behind the wheel needs work.

My car was great, and very fast when it was running. I broke a rear hub on Saturday. Kudos to Matt and the guys from TTP who stayed up until 4AM fixing it.
I ran great today; but by the end of the day I broke something else in the drivetrain. I'm hoping is the shaft and not (the very expensive) Holinger transmission.
