Matt, so what was the final outcome? We were waiting for you and Ray to show up.
You missed a pretty typical Pocono event.
First the track was dusty. And very slippery.
Then it was dry.
Then it was wet, then very wet, then muddy.
Then dry again.

RUN4CVR: Unfortunately we ran out of time about 1:30am we packed it up that night. Since we had a few more days until the Viper club we wanted to slow it down and would have rather missed this event than rushing anything.
We will be down there for Viper Club with a few of our friends on the 14th.

Thanks to Matt and Michelle for setting up a great day.
There were so many red Corvettes there, you'd think they were giving them away or something.
I even got some video of GeorgeZNJ - Since he thought I was one of his friends (who was also in a Red Z06), he didn't point me by, but it was ok since his car probably had 140 more RWHP than mine, and you can see him pull away from me on the straights - Now if he works on his lines a bit, he'll be hard to catch. At the end of the vid you'll also see us get around another forum member in her C5 Corvette - but her name escapes me.
All in all, it was a great day, even with the dirt/dust, and the usual Pocono torrential downpours.

When we caught up to Deb, (try n keep up) I backed off to give her some room, her first time on the track. Thanks for posting this video, my second time running this track configuration, and I can clearly see where I'm braking way too early and hard, and missing my marks for turn in. Barry and I usually run three or four laps taping each other, them we switch places. Thats why I didn't point you by.

I came by to say Hi a couple times but it looked like you were busy with others in heated track strategy discussions.
Unfortunately I was not able to bring my track car as it is under the knife at ECS getting a new engine after wearing out the rings at VIR earlier this month.
So I played spectator and hung out with several Corvette friends and even got to ride with George a couple sessions.
Everyone was having a blast. Michelle and TT4C run a good event.
