Default Gingerman Fun =)
Had a Blast at another track day last Friday, this time at Gingerman chasing Kristen Lingenfelter and her ZL1. Hope to make a few more events this year before the season ends and/or tires need replacing

$4k, where are you buying your tires? $2500 for a PS2 set at Tire Rack, plus tax and install. Still freakin pricey. But tracking that BAMF, priceless!

Ha ha, thx guys, yeah $3K is closer! I think they were guessing on the SuperCar tire prices. Hoping those are out in Spring.

Keep an eye on 3BallsRacing.com in the spring. We typically start the season at GingerMan in April and then do Grattan and MidOhio in May.
