The oval does not require anything, but you must stay single file (no passing) and the pace car limits the speed to 110-120, although you might be able to find a way to get a burst to 130+

. The infield track, each time I have run on it (which has never been through a Corvette sponsored event), does require pants and a helmet, but it does allow for a passenger.

They used to require a helmet only, up until 6 years ago.. There were several members of a local nudist colony participating in the event.. TMS now requires pants to participate on the infield

Dang, you guys in the Plano area really got dumped on. We only had 1 1/2 -2" here in the F.B./Addison area just a few miles SW. Of course, it 'll be in the 60's today.

That was crazy! On the hood of my van it was about two feet deep and the roof had about a foot on it in that picture. Now there is just one tiny little pile of snow beside it, Tomorrow in the 70s

Although that's not that uncommon back home..... SNOW here in Dallas in late March is !!!!!
