Thanks everybody for the notes. There were 4 rungroups so it was 1/2 hour on the track and 1 1/2 hour off, basicall all day.so I think we had 3 sessions in the morning and 3-4 in the afternnon. there were 100 plus cars there so the time between stints on the track seemed to go pretty fast,,,,, because we walked arround a lot looking at cars and watching the track. There is a Hooked On Driving website so you can check out all the events. I think it was 390 bucks perday for track track time....Here are some of the other cars...
