You, fast? Who could possibly know? Your C'mere-o's nice paint would be an excellent contrast to my Falcon's trash-white attempt at metal protection . . .

If you're in red, everybody's in your group. Come track day, movements (out of red) will be necessary, as you Bay Area types just live to create traffic jams everywhere you go. I usually wind up volunteering to go down, then wind up with tons of track all to myself in yellow . . . Nobody wants to be yellow.

Depending on how the car's behaving, I could go up one. Since you've got the full pajamas and extra-loud exhaust, Dave, you should aim for green.

Tomorrow may include some new brake pad bedding on a lovely country road . . .

No. In any car. Was thinking about doing yellow, still may. But if i sleep at a Holiday Inn the night before, i might just do green. Seriously though, i know i can hold my own in the Camaro, and am better in the P=car. Not knowing the track. But, knowing the racing line and big noticable apexes, will help, alot.

Depending on how i'm doing too. Might start in Yellow, but it will be a fast day (time wise, trac time limited). But, i have a few buddies in red that i know i can keep up with.... we'll see, not gonna learn by being on the couch...
