We've had a few more registrations come in for this event. I expect it to totally sell out so get signed up if you plan on coming.

A Grand Sport convertible in the Corvette Corral at Long Beach had the Angelwings Tech bolt-in C7 Track Day Bar installed. Perfect for HOD events.

For what it's worth, I'll be driving Carrie's ZR1 Thursday. I hurt the clutch in my car at LS Fest so it won't be on track. Carrie will be there to dice it up on Friday in her car.

Thank you Rich and Derek! You guys hosted a great event! We had a wonderful time hanging and running with you! A few of mine and the wife.

FYI- For anyone thinking of tracking a base auto, dont! My wife overheated her automatic transmission on her very first track day ever, by the 4th session of the day. This was with, heat wrapped exhaust, Z06 brake ducts, and Borla X Pipe.
