Yes Jody, you can use hand signals. Get it warmed up cuz I am in the same run group as you and I'm a'comin fer ya, dagnabbit. We could install temporary signals for you. Kind of like the ones they put on cars in tow that mount on the roof.

Looking forward to seeing Art's track beast. Grats on the purchase Art. You'll love it.

Turn signals are being used by Audi also. For a left pass, move right, hit signal and leave on until all cars you want to pass you have passed. It takes some getting used to but it does work. Worked well at Daytona.

I am sure it will be a courteous point by. The only time I will get one from Jody is when he is coming out of the pits onto a hot track and I am going by. He is too fast for me! Of course if I hand him an electric drill I might have a chance!

I have a K&N C6-Z06 airbox for sale, used, if anyone is interested. $250

Also, I'll likely have my scales if anyone is interested in corner balancing. You can contact me for more info

Does anyone know if any ZR1's will be at this years VIR event? As student or instructor. Last year we had some from the factory I beleive. I was just wondering if any private ZR1 owners have signed up.

Greetings every one

We are under 30 days to our event. If you have not had your car tech ed this would be a great time to do so.

Remember Brake fluid should be about 3/4 Full, or 1/2 way Between the full line and the tank seem.

There ARE several GM people attending.

Not sure what Kirk B ( Instructor ) is bringing. a new Grand Sport would be cool.

One of our event Supporters, Hendrick Chevrolet from Cary NC has purchased three student positions. Hendrick will be GIVING these student positions away to three luck winners:
1 for a ZR1 purchaser,
1 for a C6 or C6Z06 purchaser,
1 for a NEW Camaro purchaser


More Info and mailing very soon. end of the week

I'm really amazed that the factory doesn't give these away to everyone who buys a Vette and wants to go to a school. Seems that it'd be one of those added value things.

Maybe Obama will start giving them away as part of his marketing plan.

Oh Damn! I forgot about that! That was funnier than hell!

Doug made me pay for that! He had me black flagged an event or 2 later because he thought he saw my hood had come loose! I had to sit there on pit road while he did a stroll around to make sure my car was safe!

Is the first instructor session going to look like a Grand Am Cup qualifying session? I still giggle a bit when I think about that statement from Roc!

I'll be there for NCM. I don't think I can stick around for Chin.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
