I did not participate in the bonus laps last year, but as I understand it you can buy an additional 5 laps for $25. Tim, Soslow1, ran the bonus laps last year and could give a better description than I. Paging Tim!
I bought 1 extra session last year and used it on the very last group to run for the day. I plan on doing the same this year because someone will have to push Jeff around if he starts dragging his feet....
Spread the word around guys! Plenty of spots still available! I know its still months away but we are only about 1/4 of the way there right now...we need people to keep this event going each year. If you know anybody on the fence...do your best at persuading.
Yeah, I'd hate to see this event get canceled in future years due to lack of interest. What I still cannot figgure out is why there isnt a waiting list. The only thing I can think of the word isnt getting out to enough folks who if only knew would jump at the chance to run some laps at Talladega. That and maybe there are a few dropouts from previous years unhappy with speeds. I personaly bought 8 sessions and am bringing my brother who registered his 60s muscle. I'd buy more if I thought I'd have time to get them all in. Might have my hands full with 8.
Maybe everyone pick a generation specific forum and start a thread. I have one going in the C7 forum and I'll bump it along every so often.
If we get desperate we can recruit some ricers....KIDDING!!
Running six sessions, on relatively new tires (5k). Should I expect noticeable tire wear at this event? Not sure how rough the track surface and banking will treat them.
Thanks for any assurance that previous participants can provide.

The Track is smooth as glass, but the banks do cause quite a bit of wear, I had R compounds on my car and you could see the rubber collecting on one side of the tire after the event.
I'm interested in attending this event; I saw the pictures/video's on CF and was jealous. Can someone please PM me the information to register and possibly hotels that members are staying at?

I am in Belle Chasse, just south of New Orleans so if there's a group going i would like to join in if you don't mind.
There are two options in Pell city (about 10 miles ish from the track)...the holiday inn express and the hampton inn. They're both next door to each other, both have discounted rate of $79 per night (ask for the vettes4vets discount) and both of their parking lots will be like 80% Corvettes the night before track day.
I am registered and hotel booked for the event; I will be leaving Belle Chasse, LA on the evening of the 22nd May and head back home on the 25th. Registered for 2 lap session events and cannot wait.
