Are you planning on taking the ZR-1? My son may take his TT C5 and he asked me if I was up to taking LITLRED. Would be cool to get the Texas ZR-1 guys there. Mike, Dave, thoughts? Dan, let me know whatcha think.

Alright guys, I'm registered for Sunday. There were 13 spots left when I registered today. Saturday is sold out. My son and I run on Sunday.

Dave, you're local, come on out. Will get some video of JDS99's C5 twin turbo 427 monster and my '91 ZR-1.

Mike, if you want to race, you'll need to get on the website quickly. Only had a few spots left for Sunday. Saturday sold out..

Thanks! Hopefully the transmission will shift smooth. It's about time to pull it and ship it off to ZF Doc. Getting a little rough to hit the gears..

Yes, Jon's car should be a silver streak at the finish..

Anyone interested in running on Saturday give me a shout, I will be there but not running, hate for my seat to go to waste. Cost was 230 or 240, if you shoot me 150 obo it is yours, already checked and you can sell you spot just have to notify Blake.

I gotta ask... Well maybe you can ask the people running the event.....Is there any other half mile events closer to New York City? Can't let you cowboy fans have all the fun....Be safe guys...

​​​​May not make it. My son's TT 403 FRC isn't quite ready and not inclined to go without him. Will know tomorrow morning. Hope everyone has a great race and broken parts are few and far between. Stay safe and go FAST!
