I am going to work my rear off on a huge list of mods so I can be there Not easy to get it all done so I will be sure to limit a few mods if I have to.

I am flying down the end of Jan for your 3 day school and fully plan on towing down for the Feb track event

Janet -

Is there any way to not pay for the dinner? Last time I was there I had an allergic reaction to it and had to go home instead of enjoying the track on sunday.

Do you know what you were allergic to, so that perhaps we can avoid that? We want your company and you don't want to miss the raffles.

Pomona Valley Corvette Association will be there in force once again. I think there are 15 cars signed up on our site (I don't know if all are paid with Spring Mountain). This will be my first time driving. We went as a vendor in April and had a blast. The people at the Track are very nice and easy to talk to. If you live in AZ, CA or NV you should go to this for sure.

Corvette Track Days are filling up quickly.

This is just a reminder to register NOW before the price goes up next week, IF there are spots available.

We will have a waiting list once we fill our quota.

There will be some special guests at the Feb 9 & 10 Corvette Track Days. As usual Pfadt Race Engineering and Stoptech will be there with their displays and cars on the track. Also there will be some of the GM Corvette people - Kirk Binnion, Design Engineer, Art Spong, Quality Assurance and Tom Wallace (the head guy) has it listed on his calendar. Don't miss this event.

CORVETTES ONLY.

They don't like getting passed by other makes....


BUT SERIOUSLY....

This is a GREAT EVENT and I met a lot of GREAT PEOPLE at Vette Days -- wish I could still go and hang out with my buddies. You will not be disappointed, and the track is super fun too. Great combination of high speed, big sweepers, esses, and turns where you can play around with the car w/o getting into trouble.

Mike & Janet cook a gourmet BBQ as well, and last time I checked, the booze was INCLUDED!

If you're interested, I recommend you sign up now and book your room!

Sorry, but as Hans stated, this is a Corvette Only event.

We no longer cook the BBQ. Mr T does the cooking for us, and yes the beer & wine are included in the $300 price of admission.

So who all is going? I'm hoping to put some faces to names... also hoping not to be embarassingly slow on a new track. :-)

The new track section, Radical Loop, isn't too hard to learn if you keep
thinking, late apex! Found this and don't know how good it is.

Can't find the link to the Joe M. provided vid that I used before the NCM
event, new computer and old one is shot.

Oh, another thought, from the exit of the 2nd sweeper, turn 2, you won't believe
how long it is going over a slight crest to the blind entry left hander. At first it
doesn't seem to make much difference where you are until you start to hold the
throttle all the way and then need a straight braking line to scrub a lot of speed.
I was still working on that one after two days.
