No problem... I think the next one I'll be in the middle of a chemo week so I won't make it but likely will make august...

If you do want, Scott has been 2-3 times he might make it out there. BTW 98Camaro3.8 wants to go too.. we might all be able to make it out. and the f-body regulars out there are all pretty cool for the most part.

I have once.....And Ill remember the experience for the rest of my life.....

I bought my corvette from a JN dealer here in Hawaii...Well it turns out that JN also ownes many other car dealerships here...Including Ferrarri, lamborguini, Lotus Audi and mazda as well as chevrolet....

So a few months after I get my car I get this letter in the mail inviting me and my wife to JN track days....

It was being held at the same track I 1/4 mile at so I said why not....

So we pull up and theres like 8 corvettes (including a C6) 8 Ferrarris....3 lotus eliuses....few lotuses from the 90's....like 10 different Audis including the S4 and one RX8....

NO LAMBORGUINIS THOUGH...

sO THE PUT ALL US DRIVERS INTO A CLASS ROOM AND HAVE ALL THESE FAMOUS DRIVERS COME AND TEACH US THE BASICS FOR AN HOUR...

Then they let us go in our cars and go through 7 or 8 different stations...EXAMPLE...slalom and cornering breaking....It was really kool and I never hit a cone (still pretty proud of that)

Then they feed us this gourmet meal with these Italion chefs and tell us to go put our cars on the track.....


Next thing you know theres 10 cars at a time on this mile long track doing 20 lapps....

When it was my groups turn I had an Audi TT in fromt of me and a 90's lotus in front of him..

Directly behind me was a Ferrari 360...But not the regular one it was the one that cost like 50 grang more cas it's built for racing and the street....

It was 20 laps of trying to hang with the audii TT and Lotus in the Corners and trying to keep the 360 off my butt.

I almost wrecked twice taking corners to fast but man it was a rush....Oh BTW...The highest speed I acheived on the /4 mile straight away was 110 mph...But thats freakin fast when your racing and taking corners.

Defiently one of the koolest memories of my short life...CANT WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR...

This time Ive got more power and should be able to give a stock 360 a challange..

Sounds like you had a lot of fun with it. I did a couple of 20 minute sessions at the Nashville Superspeedway last year. Was really looking forward to getting out there again this year until I blew the engine in my car... So I'm patching that back up. Next year... [img]smile.gif[/img]
