Hi Jody:

I'll be there instructing. I'm sure both days will be plenty busy. I no longer have my '04 Z06, but I may take a pleasure ride around the track in my Audi A6-4.2. It's kind of heavy (about 1000lbs more than the vette) but it has good power, and the AWD ought to be worth something in the corners.

My good buddy from Dowingtown will be there with his C5 track car with about 550 HP and a great suspension set up. I'm sure that he would like to follow you around the track a few laps to get some pointers.

Hey Jim,

Good to hear from you.

It won't do your friend much good to follow me around since I'll be like Ray Charles trying to paint a picture. I've got to get up to speed during Friday's test 'n tune to even think about finishing on the same lap as the natives there.

See you there.

I am planning on instructing as well. I had to cancel this weekend with the BMW club due to illness and hope I am feeling better by then.
