Brand new C6 Z06 owner here. I just (nervously) signed up for the HOD on the 23rd. I look forward to meeting you all and embarrassing myself in front of you soon.
Question: I'm thinking of driving up the evening before and getting a hotel room so I can get a decent's night's rest before the HPDE. Any suggestions for a safe, moderately priced, clean hotel to overnight with the Z06 in the parking lot near Thunder Hill?

I tried to free up my schedule for this event but couldn't swing it... next year for sure... all Corvette track day would be awesome and I'd like to meet some local CF members.
Good news is I'm running the 5 mile track with NCRC on Oct. 10th. Did a couple parade laps when that section first opened this summer and looking forward to driving it at speed.

As for HOD I'll think about it Richie, it's always been a little $$$ for my taste. Hook it up with the famous richie discount!
Will you be there both days rich?

Motel 6 is OK. The nicest is the Holiday Inn Express. Niether are expensive.

A little clarification: Thursday is Corvettes Only (if they get enough to sign up) on the 3 Mile Track, Friday is open to everyone and is on the 5 Mile track.

So what run group will everyone be in? I'll be in C. 
Stock black 08Z except R888's, Raybestos brake pads, and DRM shocks.

Run groups will be determined by on track experience..
During the day it is possible to make some changes, but drivers of the same skills need to be in the same group for everyone to be safe and have fun. All Corvettes are fast.

The best way to quickly get faster is run with faster drivers. It's a good opportunity to pick up their lines and braking points. On that note I'll be in C too
For those running on the 10th with NCRC, look forward to seeing you guys! I'll be out there with Mike (Mikymu on the forum), just look for the Orange and Blue Carbon Editions with wing. If you have the chance stop by and say hi!
