Default Hooked on Driving

I don't know how many of the people registered for the event post on this forum, but I can tell you that there are over 30 people registered and many of them are Corvette owners.

3 run groups, each group gets 5 twenty-five minute sessions.

See you at Homestead Saturday October 25th.

Hey Henry. Sounds like a great time. Everyone I talked to who attended the last event said it was awesome. I'm going to try to get there with my son in his C5 Z06. I saw you at Sebring last week on Saturday. Looked like you were breaking in a new motor. Another monster?

Yep, trying to get a new toy running better. Mixing a C5 with C6Z06 power. A few bugs to iron out, but otherwise running pretty strong. On the dyno we coudn't keep the wheels from braking loose once it got to the 580RWH so I don't know how much power it actually makes. I'll have it at Homestead to try out a different gear, 3:73 was not working well with the torque so back to a 3:42 gear to see if we can put the power down.
Hope you can make it.

Steve you can register as advanced. Schedule will be emailed to you, but basically we start at 9am and run through 5pm. 3 run groups gets you 5 twenty-five minute sessions.

This event was Phenomenal! there were maybe 45 total drivers on a 2.2 mile course. Guys, Henry is the nicest guy, not out to maximize profit, but make a good event. We didn't one drop of rain despite Miami getting drenched and flooded. Between my student and my 5 sessions I was drenched and exhausted by the end of the day. It was like I had the track to myself the last 2 sessions! Hooked on Driving rocks!
