Default New in Ohio

Hello everyone my name is Kevin, I'm from Columbus, Ohio. I don't currently own a Vette, I drive an 09 G8 GT, however I am in the process of selling it so I can move up to an LS3, C6, hopefully a Grand Sport if the price is right. I love my G8 its great on the 1/4, but I'm looking to get back into a stick car and return to my true automotive passion, track days. Hoping to learn a lot here and I'll be browsing the classifieds hard trying to find a great car. I have already spent a good amount of time lurking and reading so I figured I may as well join up. Just to clear the water because it anyways comes up when I join a new car forum, my screen name is one i have been using forever, started out as many do in the honda game but that was many moons ago and once I got an LS car I was hooked so I guess you could say I found the light, however I love just about all kinds of cars and builds. Thanks in advance for all the help!

As a quick addition I also have been following IMSA racing for years now been to many tracks on the circuit and have been rooting for Corvette Racing, for quite some time, also a big fan of WTR and my favorite driver is Jordan Taylor. Hoping to make it down to Sebring this year.
