Aaron glad it went well, now time for the fun part!

If it wasnt the following weekend, maybe. MMC is 6 hrs each way, NCM is 9...plus, they are pretty much the same way. Good luck, the track is killer. We did parade laps at LS Fest last year.

thanks Wayne, yes should be fun!

Well, first event has been completed. Successfully at that! With just over a 100 miles before getting there, we only had a few little issues, mostly self induced :innocent: Nothing bad, no damage and never went off track. Literally the gas pedal fell apart...I was sure I tightened all that stuff, so maybe a little loctite is in order. Anyway other than that, we had an amazing weekend with friends at the Midwest Musclecar Challenge.

We dual registered it so it was literally running back to back road course sessions. Took it like a champ, bud did get a little warm one session as I may have been pushing it a little hard :D

At the end of the day at Punam Park, I was 7th in the intermediate group with a 1:24.4 lap hitting 120mph at the end of the front straight. Oh, and that is exactly 3 secs/lap faster than I was last year in the Chevelle with the same motor. Must be the 500 lbs less weight...

On to pics: John with Forgeline took some pics of the car, I snapped this while he was taking his.

Great guy, Scott Knick was there with his cool flared 65. Looks like they were seperated at birth

This is Jill on the grid for her very first time on a roadcourse behind the wheel. She had a great time and a very good instructor!

And to top the weekend off, we both came back with some hardware!! Yeah, Jill was a sponsor pic for Royal Purple and I got the (another) Ridetech Renegade award...very humbled by that. Got one with the Chevelle and now one with the Vette. Very huge thanks to Bret and the gang at Ridetech, super group of people.

So we put a very large "1" in the Win column this weekend. Great weekend, great event, great people to hang out with...still buzzin :headspin:

Oh yeah, forgot this :drive:

Your wife's car is beautiful! Nice job!

Nice smooth driving! Making it look easy! Going to need to go for a ride in this thing one day! Congrats to you and Jill for getting it done and having a blast!

Looks like a real hoot and she was passing some pretty high dollar builds so that should make you feel good . Of course watching Farrington blow by you ought to give you some motivation to get your motor into G-Velle ;)

Great showing Aaron and Jill.

Thanks!

Thanks Brian, yes the IRS (even as crappy of a design this is) definitely soaks up the track. The transitions from left to right were incredibly smooth and very planted.
We are heading to Lingenfelter Cars and Coffee this Saturday morning, then on to CARS Inc. for their show. You should come out.

That was me doing the passing :) She did very well, and was picking up speed each session. She did hit 110 with Danny coaching her.

Thanks Ryan

Amazing to watch the guy ahead of you for 5 minutes - he never once got within 10 feet of an apex...

Organizers should see that and pull him to the side and give him an instructor before he hurts himself. Then he points you by but stays in the throttle... SMH. A point by should be given WITH a lift of the throttle. Get the pass done quickly. It's not a drag race to the corner where both are then off line.

Glad to see the Vette performed so well and trouble free!! Looks like a blast.
