I am at Spring Mountain for the Level 2 driving school. This morning I heard some noises outside and went to look - there were about a half-dozen new Vettes outside - Michigan plates. I asked around and found out that Road and Track was doing a photo-shoot. Didn't tell me which issue... Look for it. Couple of GS, ZR-1 and Z06s.......

Cool....take some photos and scoop Road & Track. It's a great time of year to be on-track. Have fun at school and be sure to post about the experience.
