You are very lucky to have access to "The Tail of the Dragon". So I would guess you use Track-Mode once a month?
New England pretty much sucks for fun rides. I am sure there are some???
But like my Chevy Service Tech, C8 owner, Non-Z51, says...
"I drive with other C8 owners with Z51. I say to them, where do you think your going. I am right behind you"
On the street and even 'The Dragon', track mode won't leave any other C8 behind. It will just feel a little tighter.
What is the maximum average speed on the Dragon, 35? That is a fun 35mph!
You must have a fun day on the Dragon! YouTube videos are fun to watch. Too far away?
Best wishes.

I was taught in both the C7 and C8 Fellows class to never drive on Track mode on anywhere but a prepared Track. You risk suspension damage and wheel damage if on street. Sport is fine for open road. Now some here will poo poo that as BS, that GM is just protecting themselves, but remember they can check what driving modes you were operating in, if you try and make a warranty claim.
I figure if it was important enough to tell us in the driving class, it is pertinent and I adhere to it.
