Is this just a run-what-ya-brung test n tune day? Or is there an event going on? We might come run the 'vert if it isn't going to be toooo much of hurry up n wait in the staging lanes.

She has consistantly good RT's and was running consistant 13.2xx's at 105.xx's last month at GLD in the heat. It would be interesting to see how she would do in cooler air. Whats it cost to get in and to run?

Keith it sounds like a great time, but I have to get the garage finished. Putting a heater in to keep the vette nice and toasty this winter and I'm helping to keep the cost down. You guys have a great time and post some of your runs.

Won't be able to make this as I have to go to my nephew's 17th birthday party all afternoon at my sister's home in Winnetka. You guys have a great time and I am sure you will have a GAS, and bring your vette's home in one piece.

Keith, I will try and make it, I've got a ton of sht homework for school due next week and Sunday is my homework day, but I'll see if I can't make some headway and get ahead of the game.
I also need to get my Diff fluid changed since I've got the 390's broken in now before I go run hard at the track.

I wont be able to make it.

Saturday we're going to up WI and doing a cruise with some 150 cars (Vipers, Ford GT's, Vettes, Modena360, Mustangs, Porsches, etc.) I prefer some backroad racing through the twisties.

Its an afternoon cruise with a evening prime rib/chicken buffet at a restaurant. The entire parking lot will be roped off for the cruise cars only.
