I wouldn't make it back for work on Monday. That will be a no go for me.

Craig

Last year, we drove 760 miles each way to Gingerman and had a great time, met some great people, got to see a new area, and made a vacation out of it....an overall excellent time! It really is a beautiful area! We also drove 1275 miles each way to Mid-America in Iowa, again, a long trip, but a fun track and great times with fellow SCMC'ers....and as much as we would like to go to all the events, it just isnt in the cards....not enough vacation time, plus it gets a bit expensive travelling, plus hotel expenses, etc....

2KWhiteSnake · 04-20-2003, 11:34 PM

Yeah, I hear it's really nice. Only problem is, we're self employed, which kills a lot of events for me. I would have to be back at 10AM Monday morning (my staff doesn't get in until after 12 noon....college kids). Let me see what I can come up with.

How about over 2700 miles round trip to Mid America last year. I enjoyed every minute of it and if I wasn't going to the Ford 100th this year, I'd be going somewhere else on a long trip. I do think one long trip per year is sufficient so make sure you make it at Lowe's Motor Speedway on Labor day weekend....

2KWhiteSnake · 04-21-2003, 02:14 PM

Here is what I have available.....

CMP: Weekend after Thanksgiving Nov 29th&30th

Summit Point 2.10 mile course : Nov 29th&30th

VIR: Hasn't returned call. Told them we'd prefer North or Full Course.

Road Atlanta: Waiting on Callback.

Roebling: Completely Booked.

That's what I was able to come up with. The weekend after Thanksgiving isn't a problem for me. Thanksgiving day is on the Thursday prior to the weekend. Tim? Greg? ...... Were you guys able to find out anything?

Talked to the track manager at Roebling, we are thinking about starting a z06 club to do track events, since most vette owners are interested in polishing their vettes and getting their retirement checks.

Roebling is booked every weekend, but weekdays are open, and we are considering getting some people togther to have some fun, price for the track is about $4000.

Where does your club get your insurance, and how much is it, and what are the requirements, if you can say?

BTW, was a lot of fun with the porsche guys, but some were getting pissed at the end, since the 7 z06's and 1 viper, and Samuel (in his cobra) kicked them off the track so badly.

I put up some video of the weekend, and more is to come if anyone is interested.

Update on the calls I made:

VIR: Booked solid for the next 3 years. No way at all to get the track unless we so go in "half" with "car guys", etc. or some other club. That's what the woman told me. "Repeat customers get first dibs on the track". That's what she said.

Road Atlanta: Waiting on Callback.

Craig

2KWhiteSnake · 04-22-2003, 12:00 PM

Anyone got any more input? Looks like the weekend after Thanksgiving is the only thing open right now.

Craig

Check out their schedule. For any of us in this area, it's perfect for us as they have a driving event at least once a month at either CMP or Roebling. Think I'll start touring around with them for a bit.

Samuel did a great job spanking the porsche boys. He put new wheels and tires on the 98 cobra, and was doing a great job driving that car to the limit. He really represented you guys, Roebling is a great course for the mustang with a long straight that you can hit almost 140 on before you have to get into the brakes. It is tough on tires, and I corded my race tires which have been used for 4 events now, the first 3 of which had rain days at least one day of the event.

He even passed one of the z06's in the group, and after he got signed off, he was running around, 'i'm gonna get them z06 boys' he had a ball!
