Default experienced drivers needed

A few of us plan to try the road course @ Gainesville. It would be for an hour or 2 before the drag racing begins. We aren't required to have instructors, but it might be helpful if some of our experienced Vette brethren ride along to offer constructive criticism. If you have an SCCA or other high speed license, your contribution would be appreciated. It might even buy you lunch.
Check out the "road racing" thread or respond to me directly. Thanks, DR :cool:

Thanks Gordon! The autocross and drags were the best part of the trip. I wish I had the money to do that often. I smoked my brakes and my run-flat tires are half gone, but it was worth it.

Gordon,
I know I was only able to do half of what you told me, but I appreciated your patience and positive attitude.
We did better after a few laps, anyways.
Everyone contributed to making this a good time.
See you next year! DR/6krpm
P.S. I will post some pics when I get a chance. :yesnod:
