Yes I'll be there, I'm also bringing a buddy with a GTS. Can't wait, I've been advised by an instructor I talk to to stay on street tires for my first event so I guess I'll be the "slow guy". Oh well.

If anyone wants to make 4 days of it, we'll be there (95% sure) on Thurs-Fri Aug 30-31, full course. PM me for details.

You're not there to race... you're not there to show off... just go and learn. The Z06 is a very very very capable car that is rewarding to drive.
Just make sure your brake fluid is fresh and you have at least 1/2 pad life. Go get a spare set of front rotors from NAPA just in-case you crack one, but I don't think I've ever seen that happen w/ stock pads, only race pads.

^^ well said. Please stay on street tires until you really log some significant time on the track. I didn't start running DOT R compounds until after 3 years worth of track time.
I should be at the Sept. Mazdadrivers event; signed up, just need to send in the cash (and replace my SA 95 helmet )

As hinted at previously, TrackDaze (formerly the CAC-NorEast VW R32 Club) has VIR-Full on Thurs-Fri Aug 30-31. Four 25min sessions a day:

Full course is crippling for my Miata. Last time I ran full, I was ready to sell the car when I got home. I need to stick to North, South, or Grand. I can deal with the front straight, but on the back straight I might as well assume that I am in a parade because my arm is out the window waving the whole way.
Maybe next year my little yellow chick car will be able to hang. We'll see!
