I plan to be there. Just got my car back from the shop - taking it on a road trip this weekend to upstate NY to checkout all the mods, tune, etc. Looking forward to a fun weekend if all checks out well!

I'll be there with my Spec E30. No idea where I'm going to park yet, but hopefully close to the timing building.

Won't be there for that one, but will be there the following weekend with PCA Potomac. Think They still have some space in Potomac if anyone wants to attend!

Last time I tried to sign up with that club (Patomac) I was read the riot act because I didn't want to bring a Porsche .... they said they didn't want a crummy Corvette or BMW ....

I was scared to even ask about the SRF ...LOL.

Well times being tougher and registrations being lighter than normal, they've started opening up... Last weekend at Summit Point JIm M. had his LG Motorsports C6Z06 there, along with a couple of other guys with C5 Vettes there...

Hell, there was even a rental spec-miata.

Well maybe you can kick some serious butt for us Mike ... I recall that a couple of classy attorneys over near DC or jersy wer running the show back then .. real arrogant bunch. I guess their events fill pretty quick. However, they get teh benefit of the cheap insurance fron corporate which is supported by our dues ... ???

I run with First Settlers and Carolins with no issues.

Anyway .. give'em hell!

I was one of the other C5s last weekend. Alan took care of my sign up and I really enjoyed the event. I was on my Ps and Qs and was more than generous with point bys and very safe following distances. The White group was small.

Those CUP cars are fast. If my schedule permits I'll do the next event at Summit with them as well.

Us too. Jack & Mike will be there for TrackDaze as well. I am just a broke college student so I can't afford all the consumables to go for 4 days. Look for the lighted Palm tree and flamingoes and you'll find us.

1st Settlers has another 3 day in Sept but 2 are on South at VIR. They are a good club. Their spring event is 3 days on full (VIR).

I get lapped by the cup cars on South course .. lol. But then again I only have 105 Hp in a 1700# car.

If you see a 04 Z06 Z16, come say hi!
