I think you'll be having more fun than us. Did that last year and what a FREAKIN BLAST!! As you know be safe and some guys in that f-body crowd get carried away and a few spin outs took place right as i came up on the cars that spun in the corner.

I was thinking about swinging by there tomorrow. I will look for you guys if I do.

I drove by Speed Inc. one time and it didn't look like that had a parking lot. Do the cars just line up along the street? Will there be places to park if I show up around 11-12? There is no danger of some guy losing control of his Z28 and slamming in to my Vette, right?

THIS was a GAS and too bad the COPS showed up early on b/c the smoke show, burn outs and launching, was getting REALLY INTERESTING! When i showed up at 11AM the rubber on the pavement was literally on FIRE with a flame burning above the burnt rubber. First time i have ever seen that. One more hour without the cops showing up at about 11:45 a.m., would have really BEEN NUTTY!

Great seeing and hanging with Perfectly Frank and TIM (in his Yellow C6 Z06). TIM, thanks so much BRO on giving me my first ride in a C6 Z06, the car is SIMPLY AWESOME!!! Was also great seeing and chatting with owner TOM IZZO, shop Manager-LARRY, Shop tuner-JIM MORAN, and seeing and talking with MVR 555 (MIKE, actually drove my Z as he wanted to feel the new RPS clutch feel), JASON BLUE BLAST (always a pleasure dude), Joe (Sorry I Bought an A4-Thought you were locked up for reckless driving since you been MIA all winter), Camaro 4 Life (Sweet looking silver C6 Coupe dude and nice to see you again and MATT the MATRIX Man, in his bad azz maggied A4 Vert! Camaro 4 life, Hmm, I am surprised you were not at Road America; Patrick 99 (Been a long time man) and several other familiar faces that i just can't match up to names right now (as it tuff to keep them all straight)!

The VETTE Season is officially in FULL SWING and you HAVE TO LOVE IT!!

Good to see you and Tim again! I'm looking forward to the City Club in two weeks.

Here's a shot of the mine and Tim's Z's from when we stopped for a beer.
