Roebling is about a 10 mile drive from where my folks house is at. You can hear them run almost every weekend. There are a bunch of early birds because they start earlllllyyyyy.

It's a fun track to run on.

At first glance a road course track day is intimidating, but it is well run by Dave Auer, who is the former CEO of Fisher Skis North America. He is an awesome host.

If I could afford to do a road course every weekend, I WOULD BE!

Just got an email from Dave telling me I can bring a first time driver for FREE so let me know if you are interested in going and I can tell you how to sign up.

Could you define "first time driver?"

I haven't driven on a road course yet...does that count?

First time at a Hooked on Driving event. Doesn't matter if you have done track events or road raced anywhere else.

Just looked at your Z06 - perfect track car. I want a FRC for a dedicated track car.

Shit...I just noticed that the date is on Friday of all days?? Do you know what specific times? I tried clicking the link but it didn't work.

It would be my first hooked on driving event and I'd love to go..

These cars are hard to beat with some sticky tires and track pads!

I'd like to see how mine does against C5Z's and the like. I just got the Koni Yellows for the rear after the OutlawRun... supposedly I have THE setup for tracking it...

www.hookedondriving.com and check out Southern States region. Check in at 7am, drivers meeting at 8, and 1st group out at 830. Five 25 minute sessions will wear you out.

Bring it. 1 day events are always on Friday. Next week is AMP and the next Roebling is Nov. 16. That will be it until January.

I have midterms on that day. (USC)

That really blows that it's on Fridays.

Just looked at YOUR inventory...holy shit!

I'd KILL for that viper...or CTS-V (the 2-door one is the one I wish to have as a DD one day)...not to mention the others you have.

Very nice. Want a C5Z by chance? haha
