Is this the official WGI with PDA - 16-17 Jul thread? Or?
If not ... is there one?
Waiting for 1st day track reports tonite.
I'm going up for the first time 20-21 Aug with Phoenix CMR ... schedule considerations ...
Where to stay around there?
Anyone else going then?

I just got back from the 1st day. The weather was great, but had several black flags which shut down much of the morning sessions. There were 2 cars that crashed (which didn't help) and debri that caused another black flag. At best I got maybe 15-18 laps in the morning, with the last session being wide open. I was only there for a single day and needless to say was disappointed at best.
I unfortunately could not stay for the second day, but I hope it goes much better than the 1st.
Personally though, my car ran awesome, power was INCREADIBLE, handling is MUCH better after a few suspension tweaks. I passed a couple of those NASCAR trucks, which amazed me. I did however bottom out and scrap my front plastic protector on a couple of the faster turns. I actually took off about 1/3" of material on the darn thing...I still think these C6Z06 are a little soft. Also, still not happy with the brakes...ate through another set of pads.
