Looks like fun, enjoy

You just can't please all the people all the time Mikey....the diagram is upside down outline of the track compared to the track picture. Is this your day job? Are you missing a few crayons?

Thanks guys! It would be a bit of trek for me lol but there is something neat about being one of the first people to run a new track. You guys have a blast over there and make sure to run the first couple laps for everyone under yellow if you can! We just went through this with the new 3 mile section of Thunderhil on opening day, everyone wants to go out there and tear up the track but no one knows where they are going lol. Makes for a lot of off's and red flags waiting on the tow truck

Default Stop by and visit

The HPDE at BG next week will be the last event for my trusty 20007 C6. I have a number of items that will not work on the new C7 and are for sale. Click this link for a partial listing. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...tires-etc.html
In addition to the items listed there I have a set of Toyo R888's that will be on my car but can be removed at the end of the event (mounted on painted black rims and all have TPMS). Pics now attached
There will be lots of cars in the paddock, my Victory Red 07 will be parked with a Silver 2015 Suburban and a gray open car trailer.
Stop by and take a look. Reasonable offers to be negotiated.
Thanks
Ron Turnbull

All your car stuff is well maintained and fairly priced, but you asked for her black bra as a remembrance and now you are selling it you cad!

Thanks Mike, that will allow some time to reach out and do some introductions and get basic info before the event. Can you confirm if there will be fuel (high test, not race) and air on site?
Getting the Z-16 prepped hitting the road Tuesday,

Mike,

There will be 93 and 100 at the track. I don't know if there's infrastructure for an air compressor yet, but I'm working on it.

First impressions of the track were awesome. Shout out to ErnieN85 for shuffling me around track all day. Had a great time ready for more tomorrow.

Cool! Glad to hear that you like it. Just got off the phone with my Dad who's there as well (Silver C6 Z06 with carbon bits on it), he said the track is awesome as well.

Can't wait to get on the track in a couple of weeks with 10/10ths.
