I do know the guy who is choosing the instructors and I could put in a good word for you but well I don't know what he would think of a recommendation coming from someone who "drives a Z06 very slowly."

I thought you liked Barber cuz you have family in the area?
Registration isn't open for that event yet.

Barber=2-3 hours
VIR = 6-7 hours so requires time off from work which I don't have..

At least it's not painfully slow like me trying to drive Jeff's CMC Mustang there... I got 3 laps before I had to pit in because my left arm was tired from all point-bys. They say a good driver can hop into any vehicle and be fast - I guess that answers that question..
