We will be holding a lottery to determine who gets to have Lainey as an instructor. Proceeds to charity.

She's a true track girl. Here's a shot from our wedding a year ago, when we were married at the Rolex 24 in victory lane.



It only took me 50 years to find the right woman for me. Glad I started instructing for the PCA...

Jason, do you really think the guys are going to want an unproven, new instructor (Lainey) or a proven professional like Mike or me??? Mike and I will be hurt if we have to sit around for two days looking for students...

Steve,

She'll do great! I remember her driving my Cadillac last year and she drove stick shift perfectly. (When we got out I didn't have the heart to tell her my car was an automatic.)

Since we're hauling the trailer out from Salt Lake City, can we get a roll call from other folks coming out from long distances?

I think that we are just about the furthest. I believe that Frenchy is also hauling his trailer up from Ventura too On a side note I have a few questions about suspension settings with your stuff that I would like to ask you, will send you a PM shortly.




SLandstra_Z06, congratulations that must have been an awesome experience!

Road Trip!

Would love to see caravans roll into Autobahn from all directions!

Pfadt -- What are you hauling out here?

Well the Wednesday after Track Attack is load in day for the Camaro5 Fest in Indianapolis. So we are likely taking our Black C6Z equipped with one of our suspension packages as well as our 5th Gen Camaro... or potentially something a little faster that's been recently introduced into the Camaro lineup.

Well that nixes the transport question in my PM but if you would please get back to me on the suspension questions that I PM'd you about a couple of days ago.

Default First track event ever

my z was shipped to katech in early april for stage one and coilovers,new tires and caravaggio seats and other interior pieces and its an understatement the help jason has been in helping me build the dream car iv allways wanted. as im sure yall would feel, i miss my z bad,and i wanted to get her back as soon as possible!! but when jason mentioned track attack, that was something i could not pass up! and the education ill get learning how to really drive this machine is priceless and im counting the days. one question, could anyone give some feedback on the caravaggio race seat as in being confortable behind the wheel for extended periods of time and just overall satisfaction with the seat. to everyone and look forward to a fantastic time at track attack 2012

Congrats again on deciding to go with Katech. As I mentioned when you were talking thinking about it they are great people to work with and won't steer you wrong! I sent my car over in October so I'm right there with you on wanting to my baby back too. I'm going to get to see mine for the first time at the NCM VIR event in June where Jason is being kind enough to take it over to. Then I'm flying back in July for TA2012 and look forward to getting the opportunity to meet you and all of the other Katech car owners and take a look at your new baby!

In regards to the Caravaggio Race seats, I have friend that have them and they are surprisingly comfortable for longer drives (they have more padding than normal bucket type race seats) and of course the level of quality and craftsmanship that he brings to the table with his products is quite simply first class. If you have never seen his stuff in person all that I can say is it might take him forever and half to make the stuff but when you do see it, you are going to be impressed
