Default Gingerman Fun =)
Had a Blast at another track day last Friday, this time at Gingerman chasing Kristen Lingenfelter and her ZL1. Hope to make a few more events this year before the season ends and/or tires need replacing

I stagger to think how much a new set of tires runs on a ZR1

$4k, where are you buying your tires? $2500 for a PS2 set at Tire Rack, plus tax and install. Still freakin pricey. But tracking that BAMF, priceless!

Run away from the place that gave you that price! Tires are about 2500 plus around a few hundred for install!

Ha ha, thx guys, yeah $3K is closer! I think they were guessing on the SuperCar tire prices. Hoping those are out in Spring.

Track = EPIC fun I need another job for Car support/TDD fun

Certainly looks like fun Deb but more importantly what flavor soup and frozen custard did they serve?

Keep an eye on 3BallsRacing.com in the spring. We typically start the season at GingerMan in April and then do Grattan and MidOhio in May.
