Default New Corvette Museum Track

Last Thursday Mitch Wright took me around the new track. All I can say is WOW! The paddock/skid pad is enormous. I love the track layout, especially what I will call "The Dip"! You can't tell the elevation change from the pictures. This is going to be one more fun track.

Thank you, Mitch, for the special preview.

First event is September 26-27 followed by one on September 28-29. This is going to be one more super event.

Then 10/10s has and event on October 10-12, 2014. Followed by a Chump Car race on October 18-19, 2014.

I am going to be spending a lot of time in Bowling Green!

Sounds cool Jim. I was there in February and got to walk around on the grounds but wasn't much to see just yet. I'm looking forward to driving there next year...

Hope to see you at VIR later this month..

Jim, good to see your post. We will be at the NCM Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I'm signed up for Sunday and Monday and am hoping to catch a ride or two Saturday to get a feel for the track.

You are now living way too close to the NCM track. There oughta be a law.....

Jenny says Hi!. she may be at VIR with us again this year, but not driving. She will have all the kids with her. She still talks about her sessions last year.

See you at VIR

Look forward to seeing you buddy. Tell Jenny she gets a ride with me if she wants at VIR. I could not give her one because of the spin on oil last year.

Be safe and see you at VIR.

Jim
