If Darth Vader had a golf cart, it would be that Nissan Gtr. Take away the all wheel drive the Nissan would be following the Zs around Autobahn and every other track. Just my 2 cents... Awesome pics Jason Harding.

Take away the LS7 and the Z06 would be following Miata's around the track. That guy in the GTR was stupid fast and that car gets the job done no ifs ands or buts.

I'll add a few.

But first I have to say what a great event this is. Getting on a track was something I always wanted to do, but had put off because of other commitments. After reading all the posts after last years event, I made up my mind to go this year. If you've wanted to take part in a track event, I can't think of a better introduction. Great instructors (class room and on the track), plenty of track time, and great people. I'd sign up today for next year if I could!







And the wife getting a ride with Jim. Hit 140mph on the back straight. Jim, she wants to go faster next year!
