Default Almost track ready

My Z06 is slowly coming together with what I initially need for the track, thanks in a large part to all the material, help and advice that I have received from members of this forum. It has been much appreciated, and look to see if you recognize anything in the picture. I will be instructing at VIR this season, and likely I will be at any event you attend. If so, please look me up.

And to get it there once all the things are on it.

I might do that...I have some friends signed up already, so I might come up to hang out. I kinda quit going to BMWCCA events, unless you instruct with them and do Friday, it's really not very much track time for what they charge and they are ****'s about everything

I would love to catch a ride with you, there are not very many instructors who drive late model corvettes, so it is always interesting to see how they get around VIR.

I am afraid that you have it right - cold with wind. If I may, careful on cold tires on a cold track. VIR can be vendictive in these conditions.
I had hoped to be there with you all, but a family function prevents it. Have fun.

No worries there. I'm just working on getting smoother and more comfortable on the course. Faster can come later.

If you still plan on going this week end, with your window(s) down, I hope you have heated seats as your incar heater will be working overtime if you plan to be comfortable. If you do run, have fun and be careful not to run over the fords.

Six point restraint harnesses received today. Will go with the Shark Bar which is in the mail now. Another add on for the Z06, getting ready for Tarheel.
Only need warmer weather
