Default CMP this weekend - lots of Vettes

The SE Corvette contingent is descending on CMP for a NASA event this weekend. Lots of fast Vettes (and one or two Porsches) on the entry list.

I will be there for Friday (TurnOne day) - Sunday

Wish I could be there, but I have Six Sigma training. Besides the Z is on jackstands, in the middle of a suspension upgrade. Time is valuable! Hope the group does well and all remain safe.

I'm hoping to do a lot of testing this weekend.
Got some crazy things in mind.

Six Sigma? Make sure you pay attention to the DMAIC process

I'd love to, but Pat is just quick at that track! I'm bringing my A-game for what that's worth!

Give em hell! I'll be watching via mylaps as always. I have a strong suspicion that Jeff is going to be a good bit faster this weekend than previous weekends this year(which were plenty fast enough).
