Yep, planning on hitting the track tomorrow. My 2001 Silver Z is featured in Zippycar's Corvette vs. Porsche video.

Does the MM Tour count, cause it should...

I have been known to be seen around a track or two...

Re: Do you roadrace?

I've been on the road course quite a few times - both with my car and other cars. And then there is the MM run where you get to apply what you've learned.
