I'm hoping I can work it out again this year, and look forward to seeing everyone again.

I think I'm going to bring my street car up and see how it does. I've always wondered how a C6Z feels at the track. I'll do my best to keep up! Curious to see how it does relative to the new C7Z's out there. My hunch is it will pull nearly as hard on the straights, but be more of a handful in the transitions and corners. Even on the street it seems to dart around on uneven roads or when shifting at WOT. I really love this LS7 engine though. Thing pulls hard all the way to redline.

Today was the drawing and we have two winners. Derek Abel picked one winner from the box of entries and I picked the other. All entries were shaken up and the winners were picked in front of witnesses, eyes closed and shaken again between picks.

Our winners are:

Daniel Hlebakos, also known as Duman on here and...

Luis Pelayo, who is not on this forum, but is a total track rat and will also represent us Corvette owners well.

Congrats guys and now everyone else can go sign up.

I know it's a blast. We went a couple of years ago and after the event was over, the instructors took us out on the track in their Corvette's and wowed us. Doing 140+ down the straightaway was awesome. The lunch ain't bad either.

We're only a month away from this great event and there are still plenty of spots available. Come out and enjoy your car the way it was meant to be driven.
