The Official Pro Driver and Instructor list for Track Attack 2009, big names!
I'm pleased to announce that we have confirmed the professional drivers who will be attending Track Attack this year. If you were there last year, you know Andy Pilgrim was a great asset to the event. He spent the entire weekend in participants cars teaching them the lines as well as added valuable safety information and instruction during the class. It was a no-brainer that we needed him back this year. We have also brought on Johnny O'Connell from the Corvette race team. He wanted to come last year but a scheduling conflict prevented him from attending. His enthusiasm and great sense of humor will be an added treat for the event. Jaber Al-Khalifa has also expressed interest in attending again this year, but has not confirmed yet. Last year he was in the States so it was an easy trip. This year he is back in Bahrain so it will be quite a trek for him. I'll post as I get more information.
Pro drivers:
Andy Pilgrim
Johnny O'Connell
Jaber Al-Khalifa - TBD
a fourth possibility - TBA
Instructors:
Mike Newlander
Don Esbjornson (Saturday only)
Frank Gonzalez
Dean Conti
Adam Boca
Steve Landstra
Jim Painter

Looks like a great line-up. I can't wait to meet 'em. It'll be good to learn from some of the best.

Had to PM Jason to cnx. Just got out of surgery for a really busted up left leg and ankle from riding motorcycles in the Chilean Andes. Doc says no way will these old bones be ready in time.
Here's hoping for an invitation for next year.
Have fun guys.

I can't wait to spend more time with Andy and (hopefully) Jaber! I learned a ton from them last year. And it is always a pleasure to instruct at a first class event!

It looks like quite a group of track hounds!!! I feel fortunate to be part of the gang participating in Track Attack this year. We'll have some great fun...
This is a must attend for the die hard Corvette track drivers. Waxers need not apply.

OK, here's my obligatory post. You knew I had to.
SWEEET!!!!!
I can't be there as a participant (time will tell if I can swing a "bystander" pass), but as always I look forward to all of your pics, vids, and reactions from the event.
Cheers!
