If you are a newbie to road course track days, there is no better group to run with than HOD. They cater to every level of driver and confidence level. Many of their instructors have a lot of Corvette experience (Gordon, Ron, Fred, Teri and Russ just to name a few) and they will make you comfortable on track.

Honestly, some of my best track days have been with Hooked on Driving and I highly recommend giving them your track day business. You will not be disappointed.

Abel Chevrolet will be there supporting HOD with our new 2015 Z06 on display and likely signed up for the track day. Derek Abel will be there in his race car also.

Roll call... Who's coming? Hopefully the sunshine will stick around for that day.

coffee brewing, raffle tickets ready, SWAG ready, Wine Country Motorsports open with discounts, HOD event going on on track....gonna be fun. Bring your rain gear....you never know. From a track standpoint, some of the best driving skills you can learn are on a wet track...for spectators there are lots of places to stay dry. Hope to see you there.

I am doing my anti-rain dance, not because the cars will melt but more because I really want to drive the new Z06 on Hoosiers

Still playing it by ear for me, but if it's nice I will be there.

What a fun event today. Arrived at 8:15, and it was beautiful all day until I left at 1:15. Started to rain.

All HOD events are fun. The hot laps with the coaches rock. I rode in a C7 and it was some car...

Hey George, don't beat yourself up about this. It is one of the things that happens as we age...

I didn't see Richie there either...

I don't do track days in the rain and when I woke up, it was still looking like rain on the radar.
